Swans on Tea

You Say Organic Potato, I Say Poisonous Lump of Neurotoxins

I was thinking of weaponized potatoes, and was going to entitle this “Potato in the Hole!” but that quickly brought up a decidedly uncomfortable mental image.

But it’s not just potatoes that can kill you with their toxins. Apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release hydrogen cyanide gas when acted on by enzymes; chocolate containes theobromine (as does tea and cola), which can stimulate the heart to the point of cardiac arrest; and caffeine is a fatal neurotoxin that can also cause miscarriages in pregnant women.

I will continue to throw myself on rogue chocolate that threatens anyone, because I am selfless that way.
