Grafixx01 07-19-2005, 01:27 AM I just heard on the news that they are trying to push a bill through congress to make anitfreeze taste bad.
Apparently the antifreeze that you put in your automobiles/bikes tastes good and people drink it although it's poisonous. Last time I checked, ain't meth made from them?
Wait, wait, I just heard where it originated. Arkansas! Sheesh... But they said that the Antifreeze companies are behind it to make it taste bitter as opposed to sweet. DUH! Just freaking put something else in it to make it taste bad, why you need a bill/law for this?
Gas Man 07-19-2005, 01:42 AM Can you believe our tax dollars are going towards this junk! :wtf: Why can't they worry about stuff that makes a difference! Who cares who drinks it. Call it natueral selection! :rant:

snakemann 07-19-2005, 02:06 AM Call it natural selection! :rant:
Seeing as how most dogs think their nutsacks are delicious, I imagine that many will still drink it.

Actually, anti-freeze smeels and tastes sweet to animals, and is deadly. If you own pets, you have to be very carefull wil anti-freeze (if you spill it, they will find it, lick it up, and get very sick at the least).
Making it taste bad is ok in my book (2 dogs, 4 cats here).

snakemann 07-19-2005, 02:16 AM Yeah, thats how you get your neighbors dogs to quit coming in your yard in East TX.....you leave bowls of anti freeze out. Problem solved

:iagree: but do you really need a bill for it? I mean, companies should just make things that are poisonous taste and smell bad reguardless.
bumblebee 07-19-2005, 08:15 AM Snakemann, don't you remember the chick they called the Black Widow in Daytona killed 2 of her husbands by putting antifreeze in their beer? If started with small doses and increased progressively, It makes the victim appear to suffer from mental illness like in dementia. The victims appears confused, and wandering and babbling. The cause of death is usually kidney or liver failure. If given over a period of time, 2 to 3 years, when death occurs, doctors/ME usually attribute it to natural causes and rarely look for poison at autopsy

:iagree: have to be very careful if there is a spill, the pets will lap that stuff up and get very sick. They should make companies that produce these poisons put something in them to make taste and odor bad. They do it for natural gas, so why not other things as well. I mean I always get the craving at the gas station to fill my big gulp cup up with 93 octane, cause it smells so damn good! :bash:

Do you really? I prefer 91 Octane cause I just take a quick sip when I'm filling up the gas tank on the R6. Stick a straw right beside the nozzel when I'm fillin' it up.
Gas Man 07-20-2005, 01:48 AM I think it's complete BS. Go and F'in waste my tax dollars for this crap. Just let PETA do the work for us and contact these companies...
Grafixx01 07-20-2005, 03:06 AM I didn't even know that antifreeze had a "sweet" taste to it. Figured that they would automatically make it taste bad. Oh well, learn something new every day.
Gas Man 07-20-2005, 04:24 PM That is why they say animals will drink it...
I can't believe you have never tasted anti-freeze.... guess you haven't did much engine work...
