Gimme a break. Right... says who? The cats? Or your cat food tester? Omigosh, as if I care what cat the cat food tastes like; ditto for my cat. She eats everything and anything. Zucchini? No problem. Uncut spaghetti, a slurp; burgers, donuts, fries, coffee, and cake? Bring it on. So what difference does it make to her if this new food has like, 30% less salt? That she won't need as much soda pop after? I doubt that's what the company's goal is.

BabyPowdr here to bring you the scoop on taste.

Okay, so how many of us actually like the taste of our lipgloss? Neat-o. Some are great, others not so. And if we don't like the taste, then who says your boyfriend is going to, either? I mean, come on, Coconut Comet? Barf. Moonrock Icing. Double barf. Cherry? Not so bad, but the smell that it gives off is nauseating. And some, like BonneBell, burn. I mean, they really really burn your mouth. I don't know all of them because I chucked most into the trash, but watch out for Dr Pepper. Caboodles Lip-De-Lish in cherry and tutti fruitti... sure, they taste good, the tube is ???kewl??? (the price's not), but have you ever sniffed it? Yuck! I'm sure these companies mean well, but their products aren't totally kissable like they say. (Unless you're kissing them good bye, that is.)

Ever have that one thing you totally love? I mean, not like a person or a pet, but a food or something that you ALWAYS get? Like, take for instance, my mum. She loved Swiss Chalet's Chicken Chili. Guess what? They don't make that anymore. Okay, she'll have the chicken wraps. Nope, all out of those. Fine then, the chicken salad. Okay. Yeah, that was pretty bad. Three times in a row she went through that. Hmm... guess what my mum hates now? Oooh, you're smart.

I have this problem too. It started when I was way little. I like Classic Coke -- not that new recipe, the old stuff. Thank God they brought it back. But it's okay, because I like Vanilla Coke now. There used to be this chocolate bar, and it was the umm... stuff. It was good. I don't even remember what it was called, it's been so long since they made them. Annoying, huh? Why can't the world ever stay the same? Hm....

What's the whole deal with Coke and Pepsi, Mellow Yellow and Mountain Dew? Like, people, come on! Copying won't get you squat. I learned this very well in grade 5 or 6. (He he he. Sucker.) I mean, can't you even copy something good? Like Tahiti Treat? Just leave out the ingredients that go into tires, okay?

Sheesh, does not the Big Guy say, "thou shalt not covet..." yadda yadda yadda? I'm sure that goes for more than just your neighbours. Mountain Dew is umm... gross; Pepsi I wouldn't be caught dead drinking, unless I was dying of thirst. (And that constitutes as dead, to me.)

Taste is what matters. Isn't that what Sprite says? Hmm... interesting that. They're basically telling you their pop is good, which it is, and yet... if you're thirsty, water is what to drink. Eight glasses people, come on, chop chop!

Water, the one thing that has no taste yet, does. I crave you, l'eau! Aqua! Water! Wa Wa! The Drink! Deep blue! Whatever you called it, it's nature's drink.

Sheesh, watch Evian now say, "Water, whatever you call it, it's natures drink." Oh man, I've got this on record -- I'd sue their pants off for that one! Yeah, maybe for a lifetime supply of bottled water. *shakes head*

Whatever. Watch out for that new and improved taste on Whiskas... I mean, Friskis, wait, no, Purina. Oh shoot, it was Pedigree. Ah heck, I bet they've all been improved. Freda here says: meyow, hiss... mrrr, growls, meow, meyow, mewww... prrrr. Translation: Feed me NOW!

Outta the way! This cat is hungry. Five million CCs of cat food, stat!
