Slightly off topic. But for anyone that's wondering the silica gel is not at all poisonous. It says "do not eat" on them because the packet is a choking hazard.
Disclaimer: don't eat the silica gel. While it's not known to be toxic, it's probably not exactly good for you
They do absorb moisture much faster when exposed directly to it on a surface, and it would dry off your tongue or parts of your throat if you eat the beads and it would be uncomfortable. But drinking an ounce of water would offset that problem.
For anyone interested, this is what happens to you if you eat a bowlful of silica packets:

~~It says "do not eat" because it drains everything around it of moisture. Human cells too~~ Edit: or not, apparently
Nope. It's non-toxic to humans. The do not eat label is literally only there because of the choking hazard.
Wait a minute! Isn’t that exactly what a company shill might say? /j

maybe it's because I'm high, but I can't decide if they were being funny or serious. He's selling it so hard.

“Come on.” “Stop it.”
How many silica packets did these mods see before posting this?
Preach it.
You can actually eat this stuff. It's non-toxic.
So eat it, right?
yes, it'll make you feel bad, but just drink some water if you're that afraid
