Evening fam. I started driving for Uber in my spare time. First trip this morning picked a lady up and she says, what kind of air freshener do you use?
m: febreeze.
H: kinda smells like pot, not that I know what that smells like. Then laughs.
me in my head, it’s definitely not the febreeze
guess I should have changed my shirt. Lol

What happens if you eat it
Unfortunately, children can mistake a packet for food, candy, or a chew toy and eat the silica gel or the entire packet. Sometimes, adults may mistake silica gel packets for salt or sugar packets.
Silica gel is chemically inert. This means it won’t break down in the body and cause poisoning. However, because it won’t break down, the gel or packet and gel can cause choking. That’s why manufacturers often label them with “Do not eat” or “Throw away after using.”
Eating silica gel shouldn’t make you sick. Most often, it’ll pass through your body and exit without any harmful effects to you.
Although silica gel isn’t likely to harm you, this isn’t a license to eat a lot of it. The gel doesn’t have any nutritious value and has the potential to cause intestinal obstruction if eaten in large quantities.
What to do
If you or your child accidentally ingests silica gel, try to help the gel go into the stomach by drinking water.
In rare instances, manufacturers use silica gel that’s coated with cobalt chloride, a toxic compound. If a person ingests cobalt chloride-coated silica gel, it’ll likely cause nausea and vomiting.
What Happens If You Eat Silica Gel? Adults, Children, and Pets
Silica gel comes in little packets that you sometimes see in the products that you buy. While generally nontoxic, they could be a choking hazard.

Desert sky report. Woke up to earliest warm windy daybreak, and the horizon was dark red. I never saw the mountains the color of a dying ember.
And, roof raves.
