Though the story is sad.

Nobody has ever lived to tell the tale — how does potassium cyanide taste?
A pinch of it is known to kill instantly, even before the “victim†can gulp his last “lung-fulâ€. Hence, this is a record of sorts. Guinness worthy? Only time and forensic studies can tell.
Kochi goldsmith M.P. Prasad has bequeathed the world a startling find in his death. Potassium cyanide, says his hastily-scribbled suicide note, tastes acrid. Quite so, for death by “cyanide poisoning†cannot be anything, but “bitterly unpleasantâ€. The scientific community — splitting hair over the taste of this “instant killer†for long — is breathing easy. Prasad’s story is dramatic. The goldsmith — eager to kill himself — checked into a Palakkad hotel on June 17 and ordered a bottle of liquor.
