There's a lot marked green I don't think I'd consider safe...
Do not lick oxygen.
- Don't we "lick" oxygen whenever we open our mouths?
  
  you lick O2, diatomic oxygen. If you could 'lick' monoatomic oxygen, it would be about equivalent to licking something like fluorine.
  
  Oxygen just really really really wants electrons. It's up there with fluorine in this regard.
You can lick pure beryllium just fine. Just don't grind it into a powder and snort it.
- Well....that really fucks my weekend....shit....
Licking mercury should be fine... As long as you don't inhale the vapors. But it's surprisingly not toxic orally (allegedly).
I’m sad green isn’t labeled “Yes, you can!” cuz that song plays in my head every time I see this
Can I lick Ununennium?
- Unless the island of stability is much larger than we thought, I suspect Uun is in the "please reconsider" section.
