Today, my boss brought us some small cakes from a recent trip to China. I opened mine and noticed a little foil packet wrapped with the cake, so I thought it was a powdered topping. I had a couple of bites before my coworker told me it was actually a desiccant to keep the cakes fresh. FML

I'm actually kind of surprised that people don't know what those packets are. Lots of food comes with those little preservative packets in them, and lots of bottled medicines do as well. Heck, I've had shoes that had those tucked inside. I'm not blaming the OP, I'm just genuinely shocked that someone could go through life without running into those. For future reference: if something is sealed, and you don't know what it is- don't open and eat it.

You should go and see a doctor op, just in case, or at least check what the internet says about it.

It came from China. The desiccant is probably keeping the SARS at bay.

Isn't silica gel normally quite poisonous?

See a doctor, that stuff absorbs moisture... So you don't want it inside you.

Maybe I've been watching too much Border Security because I immediately thought drugs were in there.
