cue the maniacal laughter as he lights his hair on fire with his final match and he blows up the whole main street leaving nothing but chaos, destruction and death.
Honestly, I'd have to eat a match head to tell you. From what I can remember from over 30 years ago, there was almost a metallic salty flavor? It was something along those lines it was a brief burst of flavor if you can call it flavor before tasting nothing. Unless of course they've changed the match mixture since the 90s but I doubt that.
You sent me down a rabbit hole. There is an eating disorder(I think it might be controversial if it’s actually an eating disorder) called Pica that makes people crave non food objects. The cause is unknown but possibly linked to iron deficiency. Affected people have been known to eat match heads, dirt, and burnt matches. It’s a common trope in medical shows

No joke, I used to eat match heads as a child. They tasted kinda good.
