When I was younger we often used to decorate cakes with these little silver balls, and I sometimes wonder what was in them that was so bad that they don't seem to make them any more...
Aluminium foil.
got me curious so i looked it up and they were called dragées apparently
since 1906, U.S. regulations have prohibited the manufacture or sale of any food that uses any metal or mineral substance—including silver—as a food coloring, coating, or additive.[8] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers the silver and gold metallic-finish sugar dragées to be inedible, and they may be sold only when accompanied with a notice that they are to be used for decorative purposes only.[8] Almonds that have been coated the same way are not permitted at all.[8] Although metallic-finish dragées can be purchased in 49 U.S. states, they are no longer sold in California.[9]

I tried biting one and I'm pretty sure those were just ball bearings.
yum. anticolloidal jif
I grew up in the days of purple ketchup so I honestly can’t tell if this is real of if somebody put a label on some molybdenum grease or something.
It's not real, in case you're actually wondering.
This is why I'm here, so thank you Mr MVP.
Clearly you've never had metalic candy. Yes that's a real thing.
Thank goodness.
Thermal grease you say?
Mmmmm ...antiseize...
Antiseize on one side, and red bearing grease on the other.
To buy it you have to sign an affadavit that you have at least 2 bathrooms.
Squeeze it in between two break pads, and you've got a robots equivalent of a PBJ sandwich
Completely random question: Do you have dab a bit of antiseize between a hub and rotor? I suppose any grease would work to reduce corrosion "sticking" the parts together, but I was always taught antiseize works best, for whatever reason.
I do, helps prevent them rusting together and holds up to the heat of braking.
Goes on wheel studs too.
Yes
I always use antiseize between wheel hub and rotor hub. Its a grease with graphite powder or something right?
Molybdenum to be specific. Not sure if I spelled that one correct.
Looks right
It's mercurially delicious.
What's the chunky version have in it?
blood. wait no penises
Bullets?
What's the chunky version have in it?
Crushed RAM chips.
Please explain "Terminator 2 - judgement day" flavor. Sounds intense
Taste the future
Tastes burnt for some reason

Aluminium powder will make... your... you... ghm... better. Yes, better.
