    Purposefully licking things.

    Chemists of old were a bit less safety conscious than we are today. Tasting the chemicals you just made was just part of the job back then.

      Chemists of old were plenty safety conscious. Licking the science is what apprentices were for.

      We still like to sniff stuff. You’ve got some very sensitive chemoreceptors right on your face, might as well use them!
