Would you like some Betelnuts?, by dmandpenfold on Oct 27, 2008 13:43:11 GMT 1, aha betelnut, i worked in Papua New Guinea for a while, all the locals loved it and were chewing the stuff. It gave them red teeth, a bit disconcerting when they smiled given the reputation of some of the hill folk for cannabalism not that far back 
interesting aside; it is known to be a human carcinogen when chewed / sucked regularly increasing risk of mouth cancers

Would you like some Betelnuts?, by Gurn on Oct 27, 2008 19:36:07 GMT 1, I tried this in India,where it is known as Paan...tastes disgusting..It is mixed with Lime paste and spices...Does have a mildly stimulating effect...Much loved by maniac rickshaw riders,who tend to tear around the traffic,smiling back at you with their red teeth.
