Umm I think it sais that because there's like a little poison stuff in it to help make the shoes still smell good.But I doubt it would kill you or do anything bad.

Well, once I put it in some water and it started popping. So it probably does the same thing in your stomach. and it absorbs moisture, so you could possibly get dehydrated.

I accidently ate that once :] lol. It tastes like plastic and rubber...but its really bad. My throat got really dry afterwards too.
icky. i dont recommend it. lol
edit- what do you want me to say? the other people already told you, and i just told you about my experience. what should i say??? that it tastes good?!

You'll sit there wondering, why the hell did I just eat that? It's all reverse psychology- they told us NOT to eat it, haha.

Silica is a desiccant, meaning that it removes moisture from its surroundings. If you ingest it, it will absorb moisture from your stomach, which could make you sick.
I always have the compulsion to eat them though... I'm glad it's not just me!

Not much. It would taste bad. I've heard it takes a lot of water to get it washed down. I don't advise you to eat it though, it is just for absorbing moisture. :)
