Ha! Gave my kids 2 bucks to spend in a candy store, and they came out with one of these. They are adverse to wasabi, sparkling water, and even mild spices like ginger and garlic.
Them: “Daddy, can we please try this!!!”
Dad: “You won’t enjoy that. It will not be pleasant for you. I suggest you don’t, but it’s your call”.
Them: (dumps a scoop into mouth)
Them: “WHERE IS THERE WATER” <spit, cough, etc>
Dad: (Laughs)

They say that NASA used mosquitoes as test subjects as well, but what they did in that case was they spritzed vodka on someone’s arm and then covered it with the crushed moonrock. The mosquitoes got a drink of vodka and started throwing rocks at each other.

For a second there, when I clicked through the tabs I opened having forgotten the titles, I thought this one cook was writing his shopping list on the other cooks pointy, floppy hat. “You got pranked yo!” 
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock, rock in the moon
There’s a moon in my throat
