On average, the human body produces .5 to 1.5 Liters of the stuff a day. Congrats to you "good guessers" out there.

ENT medical trivia
Saliva! Some of the coolest stuff the body produces (second only to mucus)! Almost entirely made of water, it does have some enzymes and electrolytes in the mix. It's fantastic at any age from the early years of making spit balls :), to sharing it with that special someone, to wanting more production of it when we reach the "over the hill" age.

What an informative blog you maintain. ;)
Spitballs, you've seen them in action, and probably made you fair share. I could've done without the making massive amounts when you get old. I make enough already!
Richard, you win the award for the most disgusting blog on the internet! =)
Saliva, mucus, earwax etc...it doesn't get any better than that!
I agree with you 100%, but if I had made it Joy #6, it would have spoiled the Surprise #5! ;) And, at this point, it could also have fit under Fear #6, but that is a different story. :)
