Only if you like your mouth actually turning to fur and shrivelling up in a nanosecond.  However if you stick them in your pocket for a few hours and allow them to bruise then you "may" find them almost palatable and sweeter (for a given value of sweet mind you).  I always wait until after the first frost before picking any and then pickling them in gin just to be safe 🙂

After you’ve eaten a handful prick yourself with one of the thorns, lovely

They’ll be gone if you wait that long it’s an old wives tale.

~They need to have been frozen to make the best sloe gin - it breaks up the cells and increases the flavour.  But you can do this in your freezer.  I make a gallon every year.

It’s to make them split TJ that’s pretty much the only reason.
