Maybe not exactly like corn syrup but it's definitely sweet.

Just a disclaimer: I was also doing some loctite workin but I've noticed it sans locktite in the past.


Hold on........I'm just going to go stick my tounge in the sh1t........rock oil and spectro both......be right back

Okay.........

You're right.......it's definitely the locktite.

Neither golden spectro or rock oil is something I'd put on my ice cream.

That red locktite however........damn that shizz is good.





My tongue tastes fuzzy now.......

Who wants to place bets on whose tongue shrivels up and falls off first. I've got 5 bucks on Kidwoo right now.

Is it just me or does motul smell like the most drinkable fork oil ever? It smells like apple-mango juice and more than once i've come pretty close to just pouring it down my throat.

Maybe it's just rebadged fruit juice...

From the "Chappelle Show":
"Joe Rogan... I think I should tell you a little something about myself, that you may not know....

I smoke ROCKS baby, YEAH!!!"

I bet NO ONE knows what Phill Wood grease tastes like...

Stans solvent tastes kind of sweet too. I quit using that stuff and went to this body latex stuff you get in adult novelty stores that straight up comes flavored. So yeah........I've got chocolate and strawberry flavored tire sealant now.


And yes, I've had altitude sickness before. After doing some backcountry skiing in colorado when I lived in florida. Felt like flu weakness. Only wish I had some coca..........like always:D

Just to be clear: I don't specifically set out to taste bike related chemicals........well except for the fork oil after starting this thread but that was science and I was defending my dissertation!!


The problem is when you've been out in the garage and go grab something dorito-esque and then there's this wonderful flavor coating on your fingers. Whaddaya going to do? Just wipe it off and squander the entire reason those boring fried corn flakes even exist? Hell NO!! That's Cool mutha****in RANCH we're talking about. So in the pursuit of flavor dust™, the holy sacrament of cheese powder....... sometimes I get loctite in my mouth aparently. And yeah it's the read threadlocker stuff. They need to start a skittles flavor.

right... just like the science fair project i saw in 8th grade where a kid taste tested different cat foods to see which one was best. :huh:


but yea i'm guilty of this too. it also used to happen when i was developing prints in the darkrooms in college. little fixer, little stop, little doritos. supposedly michael jackson regularly drank small portions of fixer to bleach his skin over a number of years.

oh...and I worked a turbo assembly line for a year. I had to wash down every color loctite there is.
Green is nasty.
red is scary good.
blue..well that's pure sweetness.
Coolant from the lathes...metallic (go figure).
Rubbing alcohol to remove all of the above...woohooo!
20W50 Valvoline - sticks to the palette. Flavor...motor oil flavor.
Gold anti-seize...burns the gums. Does not rinse off easily when swishing rubbing alcohol!

Several years ago I was bleeding some Hayes brakes. I was bleeding the fluid out into an old cream soda bottle. Well, I also was drinking a cream soda. Well, while adjusting the brakes I reached up, grabbed the bottle, and took a nice big swig of DOT fluid. Maybe the gnarliest taste I've ever experienced.

That would actually explain quite a lot about you...
