You used to be able to buy leaded 110 gas as Sunoco in the early 2000's. It would make your exhaust tips turn white and had a sort of candy like smell when combusted.

I remember people with various "tunes" at the racetrack would run this stuff. It definitely smelled like candy!

AFAIK that's why leaded paint is bad for children: it tastes sweet so they continue licking it/eating the chips of paint that fall off the wall

Wait 'til you learn about avgas!

You can buy it online from Sunoco

I think they only sell the unleaded race gas at the pumps now but I may be wrong.

You’re conjuring an image of children licking walls, but just the dust from the flaking paint chips is harmful.

Water from lead pipes must have tasted amazing

You can still buy the same stuff at an airport or race track.

Ancient Romans used lead as a sweetener.

It’s why they added it to wine
