@Kalli Yup yup. When my wife and I were picking out flatware for our registry, I was putting them in my mouth while in the store.

@earthtopus Exactly! I also mouthed the glasses and mugs.

Don't go shopping at Crate and Barrel with me unless you're willing to mouth flatware and glassware.

A conversation which sprung up as a result of a conversation about Dieter Rams. It’s so odd. We try out furniture, try on clothes, and test drive cars but suggesting that we try out flatware before buying gets you all kinds of weird looks.

And yes I did this. I even got my wife to do it too. It’s probably a good thing we didn’t know about how the metal content can change the taste of things.
