MY STERLING SILVER TASTES LIKE ONIONS

Okay, this is a HOOT!

Every now and then, I check my Googly Analytics to see what “key words” brings people to my site…

And believe it or not, I got this:

“My Sterling Silver tastes like Onions!”

LMAO

WHAT?

I’m trying to picture a situation where someone would eat their rings, and I’m not buying it.

Granted, they could be licking their jewelry, but that doesn’t bode well either.

What I do imagine is this:

Someone with a nervous habit, a tick, sitting on their couch watching tv (most likely The Walking Dead), gripping their necklace in their teeth and gently biting on the pendant or chain…

See, now you picture that too!

People do it with locks of their own hair…

Some people shake their leg. Others bite their nails. Some eat their mattress (did you see that My Strange Addiction?)

Nervous habits get everyone.

So why not with a necklace???

I can totally see them making a weird expression or a disgusted face when they realize, that YES, Sterling Silver probably does taste like onions.

So, WHY does it taste like vegetables?

Because of oxidation!

Silver oxidates and leaves black and green marks on your body and skin. This happens naturally when silver meets air. There’s no way to stop it, other than coating the silver with a plating like rhodium to keep the two from making contact.

This oxidation very clearly could taste like onions (never tried it).

And no, I don’t recommend doing this, who knows what silver does to the body… But then again, as a kid, I did eat a lot of pennies, not silver, but they do leave a weird aftertaste in your mouth as well.

So if your jewelry tastes like onions, it’s a safe bet that it probably needs cleaning (and not a spit shine).

Get your silver jewelry cleaner here…

At least these onions won’t make you cry.

Cheers! :)
