OP, arsenic has no flavor. It's odorless and flavorless. Wouldn't something with a sweet flavor be more appropriate?
Bigotry is an opinion; it's just an incredibly toxic one that, to some, has a sweet allure at first but rots the brain over time.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Bigotry is also tasteless. So like adding arsenic to something in a lead cup.
For anyone where bigotry had a initial sweet allure, I've got some unfortunate news regarding brain rot.
OP, arsenic has no flavor. It’s odorless and flavorless.
does it dissolve instantly in water?
Antifreeze
Does aroma not count as flavor? I thought one method of identifying arsenic poisoning (which is genetic, so not everyone can do it as I understand) is detecting the scent of almonds?
detecting the scent of almonds?
You're thinking of cyanide.
Arsenic? Cyanide? Don't trust strangers on the internet. Do your own research! A blind taste test will settle this once and for all.
You just reminded me that i have Arsenic and Old Lace on DVD and haven't watched it in a few years.
Thank you for the correction.
I have even more bad news for you, cyanide smells like bitter almonds, not sweet almonds(the ones you eat), and as it turns out, bitter almonds smell like that because they contain cyanide. People started saying that because they lived in places that bitter almonds are native to (Europe), and they are still used in cooking (after being processed to remove the cyanide).
Cyanide actually smells like poison, bitter and chemically.
He’s saying he would be happy to give you a taste.
