  1. But it's not really oddball. He got poisoned from the flame retardant on the confetti, it damaged some of his taste buds so now he only tastes his salty saliva, and he didn't seek proper medical care for an extended period of time. Sounds pretty open and closed to me.

    The only chance he has had to seek medical attention he has been rejected as a prank caller. Brilliant.

  2. I was already planning on taking the MDMA so I decided to spread my part out on the table and lick it up. Usually it tastes very vile, this time it was not so bad.

     

    The shampoo was my pal Dandy's idea and being very insistent that it would work got the better of me.

  3. That was a very long list of food/drinks. :stunned:

     

    You should probably just go see a doctor at this point.... It's been what, 2 days now?

     

    You're correct that I need to acquire an appointment with a medical professional. The only problem is is that I moved to Manchester today (from Brighton) and don't have the faintest idea of the location of my local surgery.

     

    I'm thinking of writing to Muse management and asking if they have had any similar problems reported, it's bound to be a problem with more than just myself.

  4. Can't help but feel the need to post something serious.

     

    There was likely a substance in the confetti that damaged the tastebuds for tasting other things than salt, to the extent they stopped functioning. This means that you can now (almost) only taste salt, and that the other tastes will return once new tastebuds have replaced the damaged/malfunctioning ones.

     

    No need to worry though, even on perfectly healthy tongues the tastebuds are lost and replaced once per week. So in a couple of days from now you should be cured.

     

    Don't laugh people, the above is most likely true, and can even happen when eating biological substances, like pine nuts.

    This is a fantastic explanation however I'm afraid it can't be correct because when I eat other items of food the taste temporarily masks the saltiness meaning my buds must still be working.

  5. Hello friends, I have just arrived at my new house in Manchester so as I'm sure you can imagine I need to spend my time wisely and unpack, however I shall have a quick read before doing so. Interestingly the smell has now subsided which was excellent as I met my new house mates today. I ate a whole pack of Polo's in the car before arriving.

     

    The taste is still VERY strong. On the car journey I spent some of my time making a list of all the things that I have tried to get rid of the taste.

     

    Things that I have eaten/drank/done to try and get rid of the salty taste in my mouth

    • Brushing my teeth and tongue with multiple different pastes
    • Mouthwash
    • Various mints
    • Water
    • Mayonnaise
    • Juice's
    • Beer (I would try vodka but I am allergic)
    • wiping my tongue with bread
    • Garlic
    • Ginger
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Wasabi
    • Soy Sauce
    • Ketchup and salad cream mixed
    • Handful of chilli's
    • Mud
    • Lots of variety's of chocolate and sweets
    • Vindaloo
    • Chinese
    • Coating my tongue in paprika
    • Lemon and vinegar
    • mdma
    • Olive oil
    • The sachets of flavouring you get in Koka noodles
    • Whipped cream
    • Mustard
    • Mint sauce
    • Milkshake
    • Vaseline
    • Variety of Teas and hot drinks
    • Ice cream
    • Toast with many different toppings
    • Shampoo (I regret this one the most. Needless to say Dandy got a punch in the noggin, the crafty fiend!)

     

    This was all I could really think of, I've added a few more since writing the list. Obviously I've eaten lots more than that but they are the things I've eaten to actually try and eradicate the taste.

     

    Sorry I don't have very much time to post at present.

     

    Olly.

  6. ok.

     

    A) WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THINK ITD BE A GOOD IDEA TO EAT SOME THING THAT FELL FROM THE SKY AT A MUSE CONCERT

     

    B) Have you tried eating something gooey sticky and sweet. like a half melted chocolate cookie. That usually works for me.... not that i go aroound eating confetti. Unlike some ¬¬'

     

    C) your a fucking retard.

     

    A) Super powers? :happy:

     

    B) I tried eating a caramel bar and that didn't work but thanks for your input :)

     

    C) Oh the irony. I'm surprised you know as far as C in the alphabet.

  7. You might want to go to a Doctor if you keep getting sick as them things are coated in flame-retardant.

     

    I highly doubt I'm going to have time tomorrow and I move to Manchester tomorrow.

  8. Woah...as if that confetti was THAT bad that you've had to resort to this...

    :eek:

     

    Flapping hilarious though. :LOL:

     

    Seriously, it is bad. The taste has slightly resided and is bearable but my gosh I still reek and feel constantly sick.

  9. Good gosh, that was just disgusting, I felt the inside of my mouth tingle like mould was growing on it!

     

    Squirting vinegar into my mouth and then chewing on half a lemon has not been the high point of my day.

  10. Right okay cheers, I'll try that now :)

  11. I'll ask management if we can supply all Muse events with warning label...

     

    "The following musical performance is not a food product. It is not suitable for human consumption. If ingested seek immediate medical attention. May contain traces of cheese."

     

    ...this thing makes no sense. It's a piece of paper, I don't see why it would leave a chronic taste of salt.

     

    Does anyone else have any streamers left? Can anyone confirm these symptoms upon eating them?

     

    Just for the record, the Muse message board and those who moderate and administrate it are not responsible for any chronic saltiness that may be experienced from eating Guiding Light confetti.

     

    I'm looking for whom to blame, I would just like a decent solution. My pal Dandy is insisting that I wash my mouth out with soapy water as once past the initial disgust it will level out and my taste buds will return to their normal state. As you can imagine I am reluctant to test Dandy's theory.

  12. All i can say is, chinese food. But then again, i'm a student, so chinese food is my remedy for everything.

     

    As of Monday I'll be a student too, so then I shall try a diet of Chinese food.

  13. On the contrary, i'm feeling fine. Everything's running like clockwork.

    Definitely preferred the red one.

     

    Really? Maybe I have a a very low tolerance to all things salty then. I never much liked salty chips, was more a mushy peas man my self. Could you please list the food that you have eaten since the initial taste of your streamer. I will try my best to follow your food pattern for the next few days in an attempt to eradicate this foul taste from my mouth.

     

    Thanks again for your help

  14. I had a bit of a lick of mine too. Can't really explain why, just that it smelt quite good. The black one is mildly saltier than the red one i found.

     

    Oh really!?? At least someone can share my pain, although you don't seem quite as distressed as my self.

     

    I rang up the my local doctors and after being transferred to various people had the phone put down on me as they thought I was a prank caller. I can assure them that they will be getting a telling off when I get into the office and talk to them, I just hope I get the chance today.

  15. Keep this shit away from Manchester, in fact, just stay away forever :LOL:

     

    Now now friend, that's a bit harsh don't you think? I'm only trying to get some advice from fellow fans on how best to overcome the uncomfortable predicament I have unfortunately become caught up in.

  16. The problem is that tomorrow AM I go 260 miles north to Manchester to move into my university accommodation. Not only am I most likely to get very car sick but I'm going to be meeting my house mates for the first time as well as my land lord.

     

    I might take the streamer with me and try to explain.

  17. Good morning everybody, I hope you are all well. I awoke this morning to the worst morning breath on the planet. It's like someone had smeared horse excrement all round the inside of my cheeks. Needless to say I didn't make it to the bathroom before vomiting all in the bed, which again didn't please my girlfriends.

     

    I'm currently eating an onion as one would eat an apple. If this problem is still persisting tomorrow morning I shall be attending the doctors.

  18. What does it matter? Lesson learnt. Don't eat confetti. Lmao

    Yes but you don't seem to be grasping the reason that I created the thread. The taste just will not vacate my mouth, it just wont budge!

     

    I can see the funny but seriously, my girlfriend wont even kiss me.
