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.
So im all in on the tape. great idea, honda. but where’s the spray adhesive version? is that what pepper spray is? or caulk? wrapping all those wires in that tape is cute, but sounds like an unreasonable amount of work.
By strange coincidence I read this article for the first time today and also learned this week (for the first time) that shrews are not rodents. They’re from a separate lineage, with the absence of large incisors being a telltale sign.
For this reason I suspect shrews are unlikely to chew through car wires the same way as mice, squirrels, or capybaras.
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.
My adult friend (whom I'm pretty sure has undiagnosed pica) already tried this with hysterical results. Stuck the whole cartridge in his mouth and gagged.
Given "A writer who eats several meals a week." and toxicity at 36,000 mg a day, an interesting mathematical riddle ensues. Surely there is some vindication in the cause of death reflecting the preposterous futility of life and literary value in straying off the beaten path, but, on the whole, this post has left me wondering if you otherwise have a general lack of vitamins or overabundance of led in your daily intake.
I'd like to see you do a write up on the oil extracts that are labeled for aroma therapy but in my mind there is no reason you shouldn't be able to use "peppermint oil" or "cinnamon oil" for culinary purposes ... I've tried, and ... well ... I didn't die, but something seems off ... but the peppermint one was VERY potent ... anyway... great write up ! :)
I think Chris would be a fun hang
The kids right now, "Dad, why are you laughing so much?"
"And I will do it again unless someone stops me."

Jason, I ordered a taco pizza LAST NIGHT, so thank you. I didn’t even put any tape on it.
That's great!
Great article Liz! Your description of it really makes me want to lick the forbidden mouse tape even though we've been EXPLICITLY WARNED AGAINST IT.
Also, this was linked in a newsletter from Tom Scott, so that's how I'm here.
Imagining the possibilities for custom/branded cheladas and I know I'm not alone

ALL-ONE PEPPERMINT PURE-CASTILE MORAL ABC FLAVOR TAPE
Howling at the Honda Tweet. This is hands-down my favorite Haterade to date.

Joe, if you’re asking me to pepper spray myself for food science, I will, but I won’t be happy about it.
honestly didn’t consider _that_. but now you mention it: if not you then who?

Cannot +1 all of this hard enough

If you are looking for another challenge, I'm just saying.
My adult friend (whom I'm pretty sure has undiagnosed pica) already tried this with hysterical results. Stuck the whole cartridge in his mouth and gagged.
I can see someone building on this research and getting an IgNobel prize!
Too funny haha

Great read.

former honda tech here, the mice love the tape.
Subscribed. Eat more tape.
