- (FBE) So today you'll be eating this. - What is that?
Is this something like it looks so innocent
it's gonna be disgusting?
- It looks like it could be for tea or something?
- It looks like fairy food.
Or maybe it's from a tree.
I'm really looking forward to this.
- So what you're telling me is I'm gonna eat dried up sunflowers?
- Are these sunflowers?
I can imagine the petals coming out from it.
- This literally looks like something
that I could pick off a bush.
- It looks like dandelions with the leaves taken off of them,
or the petals taken off of them.
- (sniffing) Ew!
(sniffing) Ew, why does that smell funny?
This is kind of weird.
- (FBE) Now you get to try it.
- Are you guys ready for this?
Oh. What is that?
It's, like, stinging my tongue.
It's sort of like electricity almost inside of the mouth.
- I'm scared. Is it gonna be good? Okay.
Ew. (laughs) It's pretty gross.
My mouth is, like, sizzling and salivating. Is this normal?
Ew, this is so weird.
- Oh god. (gasps)
What the-- WHAT IS THIS?
(gasps exuberantly) My mouth is going numb.
You guys poisoned me, didn't you?
OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THIS?!
Why does it progressively get worse?
- Okay. Okay. NOW I'm feeling it.
Everything feels like it's vibrating.
Oh my god. It won't stop.
- Ew.
Whoa. It tastes very green.
I feel like... aah.
Feel like a cloud on the roof of your mouth and your tongue.
And it's bubbling.
- Mm.
It tastes like a flower and grass and dirt altogether.
Oh! (gags, chuckles)
That feels so weird. Oh my god.
I feel like I just
put mouthwash in my mouth.
- I'm scared that it's gonna be something revolting,
'cause this looks way too cute.
Okay, it doesn't taste ba--
(muffled) Ew, what is this?
Ew, what is that? It's still in my mouth.
I'm, like, salivating.
It's tingling. Ew, what is this? This is weird.
- (sighs)
I'm gonna regret this later.
Okay. Starts off like grass.
And then here comes the sour.
Oh. (chuckling)
I can't feel my tongue at all.
Flowers are supposed to make you feel happy and stuff.
This isn't making me happy at all.
- (FBE) You just ate what are often called buzz buttons.
- Buzz buttons. That makes sense, because my mouth
feels like it's buzzing.
- I've never heard of buzz buttons in my life.
- That's such a cool name. This is such a cool food.
- (FBE) Buzz buttons creates a tingling or numbing sensation
and often excessive salivation
with a cooling feeling in the throat.
- That describes it perfectly. I just couldn't put it into words.
- I can still feel it, like it's moving down my throat.
- I'm just starting to feel that cool feeling
in the throat right now.
- (FBE) They are also called electric buttons,
electric daisy, and the toothache plant.
- Those are pretty accurate names.
- I definitely felt the sensations.
They're really intense, honestly a lot more intense
than I imagine this little thing to be.
It's small but mighty.
- (FBE) For the poll,
do you recommend that people eat buzz buttons?
- I say go for it. It's fun.
- Yes, I do.
- 100% yes.
- Eat it. It's a weird feeling, but it's not bad or anything.
- Just give it a try. Why not? It's not like it's gonna hurt you.
It just feels kinda cool.
- No, I don't recommend these.
It's not really a satisfying snack.
- They're not very tasty, but you should definitely try them
because of the weird sensation that's going on in my mouth.
- No, don't eat them. Ugh, I feel weird now.
Like, my mouth is still tingling.
(hacks) I need to have a bag of chips or something.
