Pshh. You can lick any of them once.

You really shouldn't, though.

I can be, though, if you ask nicely..

Oganesson has a half-life of about 0.7 ms and is excruciatingly difficult to synthesize in a way that even lasts on the order of milliseconds. The beam it's created in is sent to a semiconductor detector. You'd be stretching the definition of "lick" very heavily if you could even convolute a way to make it land on the human tongue.

Easy, just send the beam to their tongue instead of the duperwhatsit detector. Bam. Licked.
