Gold Pills
I don't know if you've heard of Gold Pills, but for $425 dollars you can make your shit glitter.

Yes, that's right.
Someone is marketing edible capsules coated in and filled with 24karat gold.

Alas, there's no proof they actually work but if I get enough encouragement here, I promise to drink a bottle of Goldschläger and photograph the results!

(Or maybe someone else would like to volunteer?
Seeing as I don't Really want to degrade myself quite that much.)

Alas!
I've realised that until my next loan installment comes through I really can't afford it.

But I CAN afford a tube of glitter...

hmmmm
Gold leaf is very cheap and readily available in many temples in Thailand. I will be there at some point in the next few months and if someone can assure me it wont be detrimental to my health and can think of a tasty way to prepare and eat it I will happily perform such an experiment. (When I say someone I mean a medical someone not just your average photoshopping b3tard Id rather they knew what they were talking about)

I have an ex who always kept Goldschlager around during the winter
and nary a glitter in the toilet. Maybe you need larger amounts of gold leaf. You can pick some up fairly cheap at any art or craft store.

on the subject of the health risks
I found this:

when considering it myself.

I think you'd have to eat rather a lot of it though.

I've also looked into the glitter eating, and all I know is that it's supposed to be non toxic.
I'm sure I'll have eaten worse at some point, but I'd appreciate any information on that.

Maybe we can do a comparison!
