It's a gas.

Sure, I've seen the foods list. It had a few drinks in it as well. But that's just two phases of matter, solid and liquid. This will help to complete the set. This is not a list of things you should try. There are some gases that are very much not recommended.
I might be wrong about a couple things, but what I can recall, I've marked.

Date: 22 Aug 2008 12:37 (UTC)I've nearly passed out from overexposure to the fumes of odorless mineral spirits -- they might be odorless and have the most toxic components removed, but they are still toxic enough to knock someone out with prolonged exposure. Other artistic annoyances include methanol and acetone (we use them in printmaking), as well as xylene from the enormous Sharpie Magnums we use to tint our wood/lino blocks prior to cutting.
