Cherry pie filling. Which is mostly artificial cherry flavor like used in cough syrup, water, sugar, and corn starch. So... you probably shouldn't eat either one.

[–] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It's fucked up that people think that this looks edible to begin with

Suuuuper don't eat that. Heavy weight gear oil is the worst thing I've ever tasted and I had only a tiny amount of it

Maybe actual excrement tastes worse, but I wasn't curious enough to try tasting that

Isn't this just a Farmer's Fleshlight?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

No, cows are furrier and brown.

Only in America does this look edible.

[–] PoopDeckInspector@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 week ago

Have you never made a cherry or cranberry jam/syrup. That's exactly what it looks like when you boil red fruit and sugar together

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I literally was going to say that exact thing. It's why they had to ban kinder eggs. Everything from heavy grease to tide pods and small plastic toys looks edible to Americans.

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm European, this looks delicious:

We feed our cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

feed your cat lithium grease and watch them become a 9 volt battery.

Does that work with humans this is not a medical question this is a personal experience question

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it's formulated for cats, but the tube says 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Like fuck I'll eat anything that's 2% maple am I a cat

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn't be very attractive to them.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. My dog hunts down chocolate knowing it will make her puke. Animals are weird.

Also deer are known to eat mice and birds and eggs and even dead rabbits.

I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone gets an appetite for it.

[–] FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

That rabbit was very lucky to have had such a strong stomach, rabbits in general are unable to digest foods high in protein and gastric upset in rabbits can be fatal. Its one of the scariest things as a rabbit owner.

Well, the inventor of Vaseline thought so

Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it every day

Petroleum jelly would work, but it's not intended for consumption. If you do want petroleum products intended for consumption that will do exactly the same thing, get some mineral oil

The inventor of vaseline ate a spoonful every day. He promoted it as wonder goo, fit for everything and anything. NGL it is pretty great, on the outside. Well, and a fistful of inches deep as well but no farther.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (20 children)

Has no one ever smelled bearing grease? Even fresh it smells terrible.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I dunno if it's some kind of additive, but AFAIK it universally smells like stinky bugs, just weaker.

I had to do the axles on my trailer this year and honestly this is one of my first thoughts when I opened up the can of Grease as well. It kind of did look tasty.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canned humans are very not vegan 💢

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Good thing I'm not vegan.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

we might need an active, possibly non-ml version of !forbiddensnacks@lemmy.ml

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I miss forbidden snacks in the first few months... Before people flooded it with pictures of buildings and scenery. God do I not miss reddit near the end...

[–] JuliaSuraez@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

It’s funny how our brains react to colors and textures, even when we know it’s not food. Visual perception is wild.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

They shouldn't have made edible things look like grease

Are you kidding me? These look like strawberry cum!

[–] Killer57@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is like saying that antifreeze shouldn't taste/smell sweet.

[–] siha@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Are you saying we shouldn't put cotton candy inside our walls either?!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Emmm... red dye 40

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mine is turqouise, I wonder what flavor is that.
