Jacob laughed when Caleb touched a battery* to Jacob's tongue (all half dozen times). When asked what it felt like, Jacob replied: Strawberries.Whatever that means.
*Calm down, grandmas. The battery was almost dead. Plus, I remember reading in a book of 100+ things to do before you are 12 that you should touch a battery to your tongue. Just following orders.

Wow, I've never heard of that. Does it should give you a small shock or something?
More of a weird zing feeling. Hard to explain. Try it. With a dead battery. And only for a second. Unless you are not a wimp like me :)
True story...my husband, an electrical engineer, has ALWAYS tested unpackaged batteries by touching them to his tongue, to determine the remaining charge. He agrees, this is a great life lesson for every kid. They should know what a weak electrical shock feels like. This behavior is not recommended with light sockets, however. :)
