    How to kill my taste buds? re:Barium

    My bad, didn't realize there were two kinds. But come to think of it I have had the "Straight up Barium" too and it wasn't that bad. What to do you mean by "heavy"? Do you mean thick? Or- Dude, that is some heavy barium, whoa. What do you mean "before a small bowl"?
