A package of non-toxic salts, one in aqueous form, the other powdered. Exothermic when combined. Possibly flavored.

Can quickly detach a tongue from a lamppost, or a faucet, or other metal object.

Comes in a three pack for slow learners.

       Can't you just use a cigarette lighter?

       Would it work with employees?

       Cheaper solution: make the salts highly emetic.

       Increase sales with the following caption: "Too Late for Winter? Works With Ice Trays."

       //Would it work with employees? - [Ling]// My brain keeps telling me there's a logical reason you would ask, but I can't come up with it.   

       Are your employees apt to tongue-freeze so often that you fear insufficient supply? Are they so inept that they may not understand the instructions? Do they have a different chemical make-up and freezing point than other warm-blooded creatures?   

       Or do you mean to ask if the application could be done by a paid second person?

       Any beverage with a reasonably high alcohol content would work, too. Although that is more than likely the reason one's tongue got stuck in the first place.

nuclear hobo, Jun 04 2007
  

       Has a tongue ever been stuck to a lamp-post? Linko for all those thinking of this scene (or is it just me?).

Ra, Jun 04 2007
  

       "Possibly flavored." Gads. Make it taste like something horrible, to add a bit of zing to the learning experience.

       not at all what i thought it would be. +

       I hope you'll all forgive the self-churn - but I can't figure out why I decided to post this in June.   

       I'm recommending it as a Christmas gift.

       umm... salt ?

FlyingToaster, Dec 23 2007
  

       Once saw one of the slightly less intellectual test engineers suffer the consequences of making (on a very hot day) an "ice lolly" using a 6 oz cup of orange squash, a screwdriver, and a vat of liquid nitrogen......   

       He received a severe burn to his tongue, a visit to A&E, several days sick leave and a written reprimand.

       lurch: "tongue remover/employees". Nothing to do with freezing; although they might be frozen out by other employees for brown nosing the boss.

Ling, Dec 23 2007
  

       Lamp-post? So that's a new euphemism for "rimming'?
