I would like to update the lore. So yes, Tony did go through a period where I used to eat paint chips. But it was for research.

About 10 years ago I went through a class to get EPA lead certified. You know, licensed to renovate lead paint.

During the class we learned that lead paint used to be marketed as "flavored" and in fact did have a sweet taste.

For about three years after, I used to grab a paint chip off of houses I was doing estimates on and bite it. Most paint tastes like latex, but after around 300 estimates, I hit one that was sweet.

I can infact confirm - lead paint is sweet tasting. So, before you get all up in arms about lead paint - take a nibble first.
