"And I will do it again unless someone stops me."

While I know nothing on Heaven or Earth can stop you, I PayPal'ed you a contribution so that the next time you are craving a spicy delicacy (mousetape) you might consider an alternative (taco pizza). That's an impertinent request, but if the Hunter S Thompson of food blogs expires due to misadventure, so shall Haterade, and then I imagine that I and your other readers will die of grief later that day.

Jason, I ordered a taco pizza LAST NIGHT, so thank you. I didn’t even put any tape on it.

Howling at the Honda Tweet. This is hands-down my favorite Haterade to date.

I’m wildly late to the party, but I learned of Haterade today through your guest spot on the Funbag. Am currently mainlining the entire thing chronologically, but I may have to walk, guffawing, into the ocean, because nothing will ever be as good as your William Carlos Williams mouse tape riff. Thanks for the best writing I’ve read on the internet in a long, long time!

This is why I signed up for this list. And I was reminded of the fact that—reportedly—Nintendo Switch cartridges are made to taste terrible to discourage children from swallowing them.

If you are looking for another challenge, I'm just saying.

Someone on facebook was asking about rodent proofing their fuel line. A comment suggested they google "Honda rodent proof tape" I was like, You need to google "Honda rodent proof tape Liz Cook"

I love this post.

I came across this review while researching Honda's mouse tape after having to replace my Honda's electrical wiring twice in the past two months. Thank you for the great review and the much needed laugh. I'll pass on the tape for my car (since it's so mild); however, your brilliant addition to a Bloody Mary could be worth consideration!

we've just ordered our very own rat tape, and I am glad to know it complements a bloody mary (just as I knew it would). I will listen to coldplay as I drink and drive.

As a fellow Cook in KC, I approve of this licking.

sent this to my best friend who read it, said "this rules" and then four minutes later "please don't buy the rat tape."

This is wild and I love it. Dying at the tweet to Honda.

This begs the question: would a mouse eat Pepper Jack cheese?

This is an apt question, as I’d definitely put the tape in Pepper Jack territory, heat-wise. I’m skeptical that that’s hot enough to deter any creature. Honda needs to expand the line.

The shrew has been returned to the wilderness, AKA the front yard. Tom’s feet are safe…for now…
