    Well, you might’ve heard foods with carbohydrates are sometimes referred to by the abbreviation “carbs". If you know carbs are food, it’s obvious the word starting in “carb-” is the edible one.

    If you weren’t familiar with that abbreviation, here’s another memory helper: Spaghetti carbonara contains carbs.

    If you’re also not familiar with spaghetti carbonara, I’m very sorry for you.

      Don’t cars have carborators? Are carborators edible?

      I don’t know anything about cars except they go vroom. I know even less about chemistry.

        I have never heard of anyone eating a carburetor and dying, so we have to assume it’s safe to eat
