What if garlic bread kills aliens.
Free alien tech?
Seems like a decent trade to me.
yoooooooo
Take solace in the fact they probably won't know how to grow more.
Garlic is so easy to grow they'd probably figure it out just by random luck. Drop a clove somewhere with a bit of soil and water - new plant a few weeks later.
Ah, but they "took" it - presumably to their world where who knows if it'll grow? Of course, there's a 50/50 chance it could grow as big as a pumpkin...
Oh, well. There's always the fact they didn't get the butter.
Can travel faster then light.
Can't figure out garlic.
Hey, we all have our blind spots... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The problem with this is like humans are adapted to eat a moderate amount of garlic. Most earth critters can't eat it. No idea if it would be edible to aliens but the odds would be on "no" because its likely chiral molecules would render key parts of any earth organism inedible or dangerous to eat for an alien life form
So either the aliens learn to appreciate the awesomeness of garlic or we kill those filthy aliens it's a win-win.
Most likely if aliens showed up we'd have a giant wave of extinctions as alien microbes started spreading across earth creating a separate tree of life.
Xeno scum
I prefer "invasive species" of microbiota
