I Did It For Science!

[Mary765]

You know you all want to.

You know you've all opened that pot of flakes and can't help but marvel at the unique smells, even question whether or not a fish flake tastes good for humans.

You can deny it all you want but I know I'm not the only one

So, today I took the liberty of finding out the answers to all our questions... I ate a flake.

Here are my documented results:

• Grainy/bitty
• Dissolves in the mouth
• Flavourless at first but leaves an after taste of crackers
• Each flake colour tasted different. The red ones taste a little like dried beef and the green/yellow ones taste like cardboard.

So there you go! I haven't died yet so for anyone else out there who is as curious and reckless as I am, by all means try this for yourself And for those who aren't stupid but wanted to know the answer nevertheless; you're welcome.

(I have attached below the brand I ate and how much I ate in case you were wondering)

I tasted it the first day i bought it.
If i had some bigger pellets i may as well had fr ie them along with some ginger, garlic, onion and chilli, and have it on a toast.
I think its normal since it just contains food stuff, Like fish, shrimp, blood worms, crushed shells, etc. And permitted colors and flavour enhancers maybe?
These goes for the nice one and good brands.
Do not try the cheap chinese versions where you have everything printed in chinese or has only two goldfish drawn on it with nothing printed. They taste too dull.

Eww yeah I wouldn't eat some random Chinese one, It probably has all sorts of chemicals in it

Good idea. Taste test foods. I might as well taste new life spectrum and report the health!

I remember being a kid and going to my friend's house and sitting behind the sofa eating the fish food!! Lol we thought it was good!!!!

Been there did it, I'm sure most of us have at some point or another.

 

[Mary765]

Woah, I didn't realise so many of you also ate flake

I’ve tasted Tetra Colorbits, Omega One Goldfish pellets, and NLS community pellets.

The colorbits tasted oily, the omega one tasted like the smell, and the NLS tasted of oily potatoes.

Me and my sister always used to think the yellow, green and orange skittles when combined tasted like how hamster food smelled.. but we never ate hamster food.

i did it. i tasted my tadpole pellets as well lol

You have tadpoles???!!!

I caught 4 in my local river once and all 4 grew up into tiny golden frogs before dying because I didn't know what to feed them

Please report if there are any side effects, like breathing underwater or wanting to school with other humans.

PS
I haven't eaten fish food, but I tried bunny food when I was a kid.

 

[Mazeus]

I don't fancy trying the microworm culture I have. It's a bit smelly but the fish love it!

I love the papaya Kaytee treats.
My friend used to come over and steal my rice puffs so I got her some.
And Oxbow smells like iced tea!

I will don't worry! And I most certainly won't want to school with other humans (I'm an introvert lol) I have been feeling a little surreal but I was feeling that yesterday before I tried flake too.

I have bunnies but never thought to try a pellet; too crunchy. I've eaten some of their stale bread though!

Ive had some budgie food before, including seed mix and egg biscuit. Tastes about how you would expect, except I couldn't chew the seeds.
