Chinese silica gel

[l0cke]

Why is it that it always says "do not eat" on those things anyway? There are lot of things you should not eat, such as packing peanuts, or the cardboard box, why do they have to actually put that on those? I always found that amusing.

Because they are packaged with a lot of foods. Beef jerky and vitamins come to mind.

You're all idiots, that is organic pure silica gel in its natural form, China is taking care of you. Not that cancerous shiny circular things you get in USA.

Guess people can get confused and think it's a salt packet, or free complimentary candy lol.

Yeah I kinda figured that, because this lawsuit system we live in is retarded but they may as well follow suit and put that on all the packing peanuts and stuff too. Or is the sillica gel just much more dangerous compared to other stuff? Guess some idiot could mistake it for candy I suppose lol. That was not candy with your Newegg order... D:

Ever hear of children? Calling some people idiots, you should look in the mirror with the number of naive questions you ask.

I think the color depends on the origin of the heroin. the china white that came out of Vietnam and Thailand back in the day was MUCH more white than that. Mexican Brown heroin might be that color...and Mexican tar heroin will be almost black...kind of like the resin in your bong...

(you don't want to know how I know...trust me on that)


That "silica dessicant" looks more like cat litter than silica gel...

Aren't too many ways you could know now are there. :hmm:

Looks like the grind up bones of kids who couldn't meet quota of creating 12 pairs of NIKE's per hour.

Interesting I was going to post that it's cause it's toxic. But according to wiki it's not all that bad:

Seems the worst is it will give you an upset stomach. However they do mention that the beads may be doped with cobalt II chloride which IS toxic.
