Who would have guessed that 7-UP once contained Lithium

Toxicity of Lithium

In case you wondered whether there were any toxic effects associated with Lithium, it is claimed that Lithium on the contrary has therapeutic benefits. The soft drink "7Up" started life in 1929, two months before the Wall Street Crash, with the catchy name "Bib Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda". "7Up" contained Lithium Citrate until 1950 when it was reformulated, some say because of Lithium's association with mental illness. Since the 1940s, Lithium in the form of Lithium Carbonate has been used successfully in the treatment of mental disorder particularly manic depression. As with most chemicals however, small doses may be safe or therapeutic, but too much can be fatal.

So if anyone starts to suffer depression through their BMS failing and cooking a set of Li, you can always break them down and have a tipple or two, but not to much as it can be fatal

Alternatively, just crack open an old Nokia battery and suck it.

You'll find it tastes a bit better if you have some sherbet to dip it in.
