Yes I’ve done it. Actually I never got a sore throat but I enjoyed it so much on a particular person in my life that we would joke if I did have a sore throat I needed lubrication.
Can someone taste that good? Yes they can, salty was not the word, candy perhaps. I don’t know how that’s possible but it is, I’ve tasted it, I’ve liked it, & I miss it, and my tastebuds reveled every moment and so did my throat. I’m not an obsessive person, but I was obsessed & the only thing that did hurt from it was my jaw :/
until I got used to it, & I even learned to turn my gag reflex off now that’s passion.
