Mercury

Mercury (Hg) is a very useful element (liquid metal) that helps products like thermometers and thermostats work properly. It's also in mascara and dental fillings, used as a laxative/diuretic and even a treatment for syphilis. A very long time ago mercury chloride was even prescribed to help fight depression. Mercury is just a wonderfully versatile element that is very good for you. It's also probably the most delicious element you'll ever eat, but don't eat too much tuna or swordfish, kids. Feel free to go ahead and play with it using your hands as much as you want too! Hooray for neurologically damaged children!

RATING: 92%

The worst thing about it is, the better the quality of the tuna, the more mercury it tends to have in it.

American tuna is pretty weird anyway. That Chicken of the Sea shit? Ugh.

Yeah, it's weird since it's typically dyed to give it a deep red "fresh" color.
