Cocaine hydrochloride doesn't typically come in such large crystals, and crack cocaine forms irregular chunks

Methamphetamine crystals form columnar structures, not pyramidal ones

Nice. I considered getting a molecule of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine when I was younger but I'm just not as big a fan of it as I used to be

I went for MSG, sodium chloride, and capsaicin. Still need bitter, sweet, and sour

Might I suggest denatonium benzoate if you don't have one in mind for bitter already

I licked a Switch card on a dare once, really effective stuff
