If a moose decides it’s car-licking time, that car is getting licked.
Me: seeing a moose by my car, “No moose get away, no!” Moose: notices me, but continues to stretch out that tongue to lick that salty goodness stuck to the car. Me: Now screaming top of my lungs, “No get away the car is frozen!” Moose: proceeds to lick the frozen metal. Me: running full speed trying to catch the moose running away with my fender stuck to it tongue
Just woke up, morning blurred vision.
Try not to let the moose lick your ear
Is road salt safe for consumption? I didnt think they actually used NaCl salt
Road salt is NaCl but it’s much more coarse than the salt you would put in a grinder for food. They also don’t make sure the rocks are out of it if it is mined rather than taken from the sea. Transported in trucks that may not have been cleaned. So safe for consumption? Not likely. But it is just NaCl.
Huh, til. I thought it was a different compound.
Depends on the area. Different chemicals work better for different climates.
Some places use beet juice. It’s still all gonna be mixed with tire and brake dust.
I wish they’d stick to sand anywhere the snow sticks around for more than a day or two.
Yes just have a nice conversation with the moose to let it know of the risks, I’m sure it’ll listen.
Are they slowing down to let the moose lick the car or so as not to run into the damn thing?
Yes it’s a good idea, but I think this is in reference to if you leave your car parked somewhere in places where moose may roam. Since the car body and tires pick up road salt, moose can be attracted to it.
And when a moose licks the car, there’s a good chance its antlers “lick” the windows.
