Help me win a bet! (re: paint edibility)

[theraidenproject]

I made a $10 bet with a guy who doesnt play paintball. He said that paintballs aren't edible, after i told him the story of my friend putting a paintball in someone's food at lunch today. (long story short, HILARIOUS). Anyway, I told him its edible, non-toxic, completely harmless, and they even have paintball eating contest. He says "Would you go to sherman williams and drink a gallon of paint". I was sick of explaining to him, so I just made a bet with him. Finally to the question, where could i find a site that says paint is edible? I would show him this thread, but a real website would convince him, no doubt. Anyway, where could i find this? thanks.

o.... http://www.rps-paintball.com/index_frames.html click on "About our Froducts" and i quote....


"What is inside a paintball?
Food dyes (pigments), the same as those in orange soda, candies, ice cream, bubblegum, mints, etc., and polyethylene glycol (not to be confused with antifreeze). The liquid fill in a paintball is non-toxic and non-caustic, water-soluble and made of biodegradable or naturally-occurring ingredients. When a paintball hits a target, the thin gelatin skin splits open as it is designed to do, and the liquid inside makes a "paint" mark on the target."

[theraidenproject]

thanks. thats exactly what I was looking for. I'm emailing him the link right now.

[Quiet]

I've eaten some to settle that argument before. Still fine

[Cha0tic]

i've been shot right in my mask and have had the paint go right through the slots in the mask and into my mouth. not the most pleasant taste in the world...

[Cypres0099]

Wasn't there a contest at some field where if you ate X amount of paintballs you win an Angel?

[Quiet]

Point me to the place

I'll even wash it down with a bottle of Buckleys

[liigod]

[liigod]

now that i remember it, i payed a kid 25 cents last sunday for him to eat a paintball. he did it, chewed it an everything. It was beautifull. White fill too, so guys were hitting on him all day ;)

I rember this in a magazine a while back. it was like whoever ate 50 paintballs the fastest won a brand new angel. I don't rember the rules exactly but it rings a bell.

[TransMan]

man i wish i was at that contest i would have an angel rightnow

[Croix71]

Question is Raiden, would you eat a paintball for $10? ;)

As for me I wouldn't, last time I took an eating dare it got me sick for most of the day. $10 ain't cuttin it. :D

[theraidenproject]

For $10? Heck yea! Hopefully, that info will be enough for him, though.

[Jonno06]

yes,that contest was held at the 98 skirmish world record game....the guy from Men In Black(the captain)....Marshall Jackson....won.It is in the January 1999 issue of Paintball Sports International...

[hubadlatimmy]

Yes paintballs are edible just stick one in your mouth and munch it down, it's the easiest way to make money at a field, just bet with people that you will eat paint, I have done it before. But look at a bag it says non-toxic right on it.

[MrShutter]

I made a bet with with my friend once and ate 5 paintballs for $10. They tasted like crap but oh well I made $10 :D .

[PaInTbALL zAcH]

yesterday i ate a marballizer. theyre salty on the outside and disgusting on the inside. YuM

[ronron2112]

you guys got some BALLS!! (no pun intended :))

my only experience with the chewing of paintball was when i almost convinced some fat kid that it was a gumball... he tasted it and spit it out..

[pip_999]

how fast did the guy eat the 50 paintballs

i would have an angel right now too
god damn

[Thordic]

[Thordic]

[pumpamatic]

[Jonno06]

the winner ate way more than 50 paintballs....it was in a 50rnd hopper,and there were a few heats....so he ate alot of paint,you dont swallow,you just bite the paintballs and spit them out.......

[Yatta!]

Ummmmm....paintballs. Very tasty. The new RPS Lightning shell, tastes like pie, and you could never say no to pie. But the fill, thats a whole different story....

WTF? Thats gay. Mean people spit, nice people swallow.

Seriously, though, those paint contest should make you eat that stuff. I could chew on paintballs all day for free stuff. Keep linin up the cases.

[Temo Vryce]

Brands of paint I have eaten, not chewed, eaten.

Diablo
Blaze
Midnight
Inferno
Hellfire

Zap

RP Scherer (sp?)
Old style
Dry Shell
Marbilizer

Brass Eagle (which in my opinion is the best tasting(they had to do something right))

[TheTramp]

I read that they taste bad on purpose to keep little kids from eating them. Not because they are toxic but because you just don't want your kids eating your painballs.

[personman]

Show him the web page, show him the pics, hell, eat one right in front of him.

[theraidenproject]

I gave him the printed out page that hoppys gave me. I won the bet, but he won't give me the $, cuz I borrow money from him all the time, and he says I owe HIM $10, so we're even. I'll just try to get the money tomorrow when he's in a better mood.
