Very cool! Yet:

    I found out that CDs are edible
PSA: CDs are not, in fact, edible, nor are DVDs or Blu-ray media. Sure, if you click through, you'll see that the CD was not actually damaged and that it was only the printed license key that got mauled, but still: CDs are mostly polycarbonates, and not, in any way shape or form, part of a healthy diet, no matter what your local party liaison tells you.

Wrong advice. My Uncle did eat few of them. Some thought it was some trick but later the doctor in charge of autopsy did confirm he ate them.
Edible doesn't mean eatable lol
You're clearly not preparing them correctly. You have to ground them down to a fine micro-plastics powder.
I prefer the softer, warmer flavors of ground-down vinyl.
A spoonful of microplastic in your brain [0]? That's rookie numbers.

A quick and easy way to do this is with an angle grinder. Replace cutting disc with compact disc and fire ’er up!

Disclaimer: don’t

Or just live normal life. You get free microplastics.
For the non-native English readers here, "edible" means "can be eaten", vs the obvious typo "editable", ie "can be edited". (OP: Sorry if I killed the humor, it was at least grin-worthy.)
