2. Has anyone ever tasted an ant? There was an ant in the packet of chips I just reached into and I'm not sure if the AWFUL AWFUL SATANIC taste came from the exterior or the interior of the ant. But serious, what the fuck? How can such a tiny animal have such an extreme taste?
Protein.
Nah, if it was one of those generic small black ants, they're the ones that smell when you crush them. So they probably release some chemical or something nasty.
I just googled "why do ants smell when you squish them", and reddit tells me that the scent is a signal to other ants that they're dead so need to be carried to an ant graveyard. So you tasted an ant message, by the sounds of it, Elyse.
Sadly, that ant will not be able to be buried alongside its fallen comrades at the ant graveyard.
Edit: obligatory "I'm not sure if this is actually true"
