"DO NOT EAT" THROW AWAY
Posted by Steven Wake on October 31, 2008

I have the driest draw here at Kyan towers. You see, I am the proud owner of a Silica Gel collection. There is just something about them which compels me to not throw away the little fellas.
I’ve been collecting now for about 3 years and have gels of all shapes and sizes. I receive contributions from nearly everyone in the office.
Here are a few photo highlights from my lovely collection:

While a boring packet, this gel had an interesting twist – the beads inside went from orange to green when it became spent

Some pink beads, clear packet, big blue Japanese characters – ‘nuff said!

What an amazing mouth this guy has! Wish I had one like his. My fav gel

Big Bertha is the biggest, heaviest gel I own. She was given to me as a birthday present from Gareth (many thanks G)

My longest gel ;) More Japanese characters – lovely specimen
I wonder how they taste?
Does anyone else collect weird things?

I ate one of those beads once and I was violently ill for the entire day..I was just curious.Telling me not to eat them made me want to do it more.
