The Can I Lick It Periodic Table Shirt features a complete color-coded periodic table, green for “Sure, it’s probably fine,” yellow for “Maybe, not the best idea,” orange for “You really shouldn’t,” and purple for “See you on the other side.” Made from 100% Cotton, this Gift for Toxicologist, Lab Techs and Science Teacher With A Dry Sense Of Humor answers the one question every chemistry student secretly asks. Spoiler: most elements are a terrible idea to taste.
About Can I Lick It Periodic Table Shirt
The idea Can I Lick It Periodic Table Shirt came from a biology teacher who caught a student trying to lick a salt rock. When asked why, the student said, “I wanted to know if it was salty.” That moment was both terrifying and hilarious.
So we designed the shirt that every lab needs. The top reads “CAN I LICK IT?” in bold white capital letters. Below it sits a complete Periodic Table of Elements. But this isn’t a standard chart. Every element is color-coded like a heatmap of danger. Green means inert and relatively safe. Yellow means mildly reactive or toxic. Orange means corrosive or hazardous. Purple means highly radioactive or lethal, the “see you on the other side” category. At the bottom, a legend breaks down the four outcomes: “Sure, it’s probably fine,” “Maybe, not the best idea,” “You really shouldn’t,” and “See you on the other side.” For Chemistry and Biology Teachers, Laboratory Technicians, Safety Officers, Toxicologists, Pharmacologists, and STEM students with a dry sense of humor, this shirt is a satirical safety manual. Wear it for casual lab days, science department mixers, chemistry exams, or as a gift for a nerdy friend.
