Why is it that everybody bites there Olympic medal? Checking to see if it is real and not filled with candy?
Seems stupid

Mmmmm, candy.
Yep it is a play on, I can't believe this is real. Pinch me. Don't knock till you have tried it!
have you ever tasted gold?
There is something called a search engine and another thing called school where you can find out about these stupid questions that so many of Let's Run posters ask. There is definitely a decline in knowledge in the US. By gold medal winners this is a symbolic gesture of which some probably don't even know the historical reason. I hope they don't bite hard enough to mar their medal.
"There is an age-old tradition of biting gold in order to test its authenticity. Although this is certainly not a professional way of examining gold, the bite test should score the gold because gold is considered a soft metal according to the Mohs' scale of mineral hardness. The purer the gold the easier it should be to mark it."
