Plastic Salad Ha Ha Bonk

Inhale the nitrogen or nitrous oxide

I'm not going to lie and say this idea is entirely unconnected to "Fill Your Home With Nitrogen", so before anyone else points this out, I'll do so pre-emptively.

Idea # 1:

Various food and drink comes with added gaseous nitrogen nowadays to keep it fresh. Breathing pure(ish) nitrogen is supposed to lead to a relatively painless and distress-free death. Therefore, for those wishing such a fate, I suggest that they buy a respirator, a series of straws and several hundred packets of salad. They then attach the straws to the respirator and carefully pierce the salad packets with the straws at the other end, then just lie back and breathe their last.

Idea # 2:

Packaged salad comes with added gaseous nitrogen nowadays to keep it fresh. Breathing pure(ish) nitrogen is supposed to lead to a relatively painless and distress-free death, so it probably wouldn't be good if you were to inhale the nitrogen a lot. However, there is also a compound of nitrogen which is recreational in action - nitrous oxide. I therefore suggest that instead of packaging salad with nitrogen, the sad, previously suicidal loner takes her packet of sad, plasticky veg back to her bedsit and opens it alone, only to find it contains not nitrogen but laughing gas, and therefore achieves that holy grail of becoming a woman laughing alone with salad, which might make her a bit happier for a while.

       Ideally, packets of salad would be randomly filled with nitrogen or nitrous oxide for a sort of thrilling "Russian Roulette Salad" experience.

       // Breathing pure(ish) nitrogen is supposed to lead to a relatively painless and distress-free death. //   

       Wrong. Breathing pure(ish) nitrogen does lead very quickly to a completely painless and distress-free death. The victim simply feels very tired and dizzy and in immediate need of a little lie down (from which they never wake up).   

       This makes nitrogen extremely dangerous - the only protection is an oxygen-deficiency alarm.

       Well in that case, that's what needs to happen in the first case, and yes, Russian roulette salad has got to be a good thing.

       Actually, the Russian Roulette Salad choices should be nitrogen, nitrous oxide, chloroform and helium, so you die, laugh, pass out or talk in a squeaky voice.

       // nitrous oxide, ... and helium //   

       Or if mixed, laugh in a squeaky voice ...

       There you go [Ian].   

       [Hippo], sulphur hexafluoride too, surely?

       Excellent. As is the concept of Russian Roulette Salad gas.

       I think that many of these salad ideas should be tossed.

       Can we work in a #3 involving craft beer on nitro? With or without salad.
