    One of my family members got into the “blue-green algae” fad (about 5 years after it fell out of mainstream). It was too expensive so they bought the horse algae from veterinarian supply. He said it was exactly the same, as long as you could put up with the grit.

    These people exist (and I’m related to them).

      As a kid I used to buy mineral salt licks for my mice, but I’d secretly keep one for myself as a snack.

      Chicken bullion cubes and pickle water are also the shit.

        I might have had a few licks of the salt blocks we got for rabbits when I was a kid (before the rabbits started licking them).

      My axolotl tank used to grow a lot of blue-green algae (which is actually cyanobacteria), how much money was I missing out on by not bagging it up to sell?
