DON'T LICK ENVELOPES!

Post Reply New Topic

I licked about four over the weekend to pay bills, and now I have this bitter taste in my mouth that just WON'T go away!

Ouchie

I did that once

Paper cuts on the tongue are worse

LOL, I loved that taste when I was small

Why does this remind me of a Seinfeld episode? They weren't cheap envelopes by any chance?

^ I remember that episode.

I don't have a problem in Australia but on the two occasions when I've licked in the UK, three years apart, I ended up with blisters all over my tongue.

Also, don't forget that in some countries envelopes are made in prisons. I wonder what they add to the mix? What could we be licking?

I loved the taste too when I was little

All the christmas card envelopes were MINE

i rather enjoy licking enveloups.

Bleh my sympathies. I seem to recall evelopes from when I was a kid that had a faintly sweet taste to them. Did I just run across some special envelopes or did they change the adhesive recipe?

The did! Before the 1980's "potatoe starch" was used. Now, they use cheap, horrid, killer chemicals. I shall never lick bill envelopes again! The bitter taste went away after 4 days AND during these four days, my ankles swelled up and my breasts "really" hurt. I'm better now but NEVER AGAIN! This was the first time it happened and the it's the last!

I was thinking the same thing.

Stamps used to be licked and they tasted wonderful, when I was a kid. Somebody told me that they had banana oil in the mix.

I always lick my finger and rub it on the envelope.
