Lead is all natural.

Cobra venom and tetrodotoxin.

Tobacco, cannabis, and cocaine.

Anthrax

Castorbeans

One of those is not like the others. It is medically impossible to overdose on one of them.

There are a few people who are allergic (as in anaphylactic shock deadly allergic) to it though… It is fairly rare but not unheard of.

Some people are allergic to protein. As in, deadly allergic. To meat.

And the company will face 0 consequences

I prefer toad venom thank u very much! If it's good enough for Mike Tyson, then it's good enough for me 😂

Dang beat me to it...

Exactly

It's apparently due to a dot of solder on the bottom of the cup. Who isn't using lead free solder by now anyway? How could you be so dumb?

> Who isn’t using lead free solder by now anyway?

Iirc, lead-free solder was the cause of so many failures of XBOX360s. The heat-cycling of specific components would cause the solder to become brittle, and connections would fail.

This is true, but we don't classify peanuts and tree nuts as, let me check here, a Schedule 1 drug, which, let me check the DEA here...

> has a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

All of which statements are either blatantly false in the absurd, I mean "two plus three equals thirteen, also the sky is neon-green and water is the driest substance known to mankind" false, or are misleading in that the exact same statement applies to alcohol and tobacco.

It's a natural poison.

Cocaine is heavily processed; it’s not all natural. But the other two are just as God made them, so smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em, I guess.

The Lone Star tick can create allergies to nonprimate mammalian meat and leather. So i guess monkey stew and roast Long pig are still on the menu?

Alllllllllllllllllll natural BABY!

Fluoride!

Wait, non-primate mammalian meat?! Who the heck figured that out, how, and WHY?!

Beats me; I thought it was just beef and bovine leather. But Wikipedia says what I repeated.

So, I can keep eating monkeys?

It's great you can eat xboxes safely though.

Probably should unplug it first.

Element, even.

First, let me say that I'm a parent, and my kids have survived me into their forties with no health problems. Now read the description carefully. Then notice that the possible offender in the cup is described as a dot. This dot has some (small amount) of lead in it. So a spot that has a dot is the problem? Why, no! The problem is that if the cup breaks apart, a person MAY come into contact with this dot. Any decent, or even quarter-decent parent would remove a broken cup from a child's hand.

So there's a recall over a dot on a spot, maybe touched by a tot, which, as problems go, in my book, is not.

I didn't start with the rhyme, really. It just happened.

You know that your generation, and mine, has a significantly lower IQ due to your generations abuse of lead in fucking everything, right?

So I fully realize that it's not full your fault that you're a fucking idiot about lead poisoning. But dude.

Damn am i glad i don't have babies. No wonder nobody wants to have kids anymore

Yeah, I don't think Xbox is a relevant example.

I'm no expert but I feel like even a dot of lead in a baby cup is too much lead. And besides, it's not just about one dot—it's the risk of further or even worse contamination in other products from the same manufacturers.

If you all dont read all those names in Wakko voice I dont want to know you. :D

That sounded more like QOTSA than Anthrax, but I could be wrong.

Military still uses lead solder in many applications. Lead solder joints don't crack from thermal cycling and don't develop tin whiskers.

I use lead solder on my old game consoles, but as a hobbyist who only solders every great once in a while.

I also always have a fan going to make sure the fumes are blown away from me while doing it.

The coca plant leaves are natural cocaine is not

Hey now

Holy shit how can you let that happen

This is much different from the Pokerap I remember

Tamara Rubin lead tests many products as a mom blogger intensely interested in the problems of lead exposure in children. She notified Green Sprouts' parent company and was rewarded with a cease and desist letter and threats of legal action against her.

Consumers have to be intensely aware of where their childrens' products are coming from because you can't trust these corporations, no matter how green they market themselves.

Lead, the all natural sugar free sweetener!

So long as the people manufacturing Xboxes had appropriate PPE to keep them safe from lead fumes, no one is going to be ingesting lead from Xboxes. Baby bottles on the other hand need to be made from food safe products only.

tetrodotoxin scares the crap out of me. Ive been catching/handling/releasing california newts in a local pond for years (gently, with clean wet hands). One day I looked them up, turns out they are LOADED with tetrodotoxin due to an evolutionary arms race with a type of garter snake that eats them.

Which is also why it's advertised and sold as children's medicine under the alternative medicine known as homeopathy.

Slayer

I had no idea they were in newts. Was this a North American species?

Iocaine powder, however, is an unnatural poison that you cannot smell nor taste.

Shall we see who is right, and who is dead? Let the game begin

Cocaine is actually supernatural.

The leaves are natural but the refined product is fucking super.

only the solder was edible out of the box. the silicon and plastic parts need to be boiled before consumption

Taricha torosa, California newt. Other species of Taricha also have tetrodotoxin. As far as I know their range is restricted to the pacific northwest.
