What does the Sun taste like?

[Jadzia]

Then again, there is also an awful lot of hydrogen ions in the plasma, so maybe it would be a combination of salt and sour.

Sourness (acidity) is a property of water based solutions. Protons are never free in a solution, because they are always bonded with water in the form of hydroxonium ions (H3O+), and this is what pH measures, and is what makes a solution acidic.

If the hydrogen stays as a plasma, the protons won't bond with water and won't turn it acidic, and it won't be sour.

If the hydrogen cools enough to bond with the water, the electrons will mop up the protons quicker than the protons can form hydroxonium, and it won't be sour.

At least that's how I see it.

 

[iBender]

They taste like burning.

Y'know I only just got that, now. Opps, I'm sorry.

 

[TheSeeker]

I was expecting this to be a think thread.

I totally thought the same thing.

 

[Velocity]

The sun tastes shiny.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

WHAT IF our Sun tastes like Sunny D?

Then there IS no God.

 

[Amaris]

I'm pretty certain the Sun would taste like peppermints.

 

[Gary7]

If you could cool it down to a palatable temperature while still leaving it in liquid form, it would probably taste and feel like chewing on aluminum foil.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'm pretty certain the Sun would taste like peppermints.

Incense and peppermints.

 

[RandyS]

I wouldn't know since I can't eat spicy foods.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

It won't be spicy, just really fucking hot. There is a difference.

Probably tastes like burning.

Damn it, beat me to it and Skywalker beat me to the video.

 

[RandyS]

It won't be spicy, just really fucking hot. There is a difference.

Not to me. Spicy+ hot = destroyed stomach.

And yeah, it would be hot. Hell, either way, I'd die.

 

[DeafPoet]

I bet it tastes like burning.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I actually have heard of someone who knows what the Sun tastes like:

 

[DeafPoet]

Aaaaand ZR wins the internet for today

 

[Capn Flukie]

I was expecting this to be a think thread.

I totally thought the same thing.

I thought JAyson had returned.

I think the Sun would taste like a nice, fresh lemon. Only much much worse.

eta: ZR does indeed win the thread.

Take pizza right out of the oven that it would burn your hands and take a big bite. That's hot. Now let it cool until it is ice cold and put some sriracha sauce on it. That's spicy. It's a chemical burn, not a heat burn. Hot food often can't be tasted, it's too hot. Spicy food tastes like spicy food.

 

[Holdfast]

When I was younger, I once had fish & chips wrapped in the Sun. It tasted like Sam Fox. Allegedly.

You're being too logical.

I was just making a joke. And clearly failing.

 

[Trekker4747]

I suspect it tastes like Hot Tamales candy.

 

[Amaris]

I suspect it tastes like Hot Tamales candy.

Okay. I agree with this.
I used to love those candies.
