What are dogs gonna do, complain in human language that they don’t taste like pumpkin or cookies and cream?

There’s no scenario where a reasonable and normal human being can ever prove or disprove the advertised flavor of dog treats. And if you do? Congratulations you fucking weirdo, yeah maybe they lied but YOU put a dog treat in your mouth. You lose by default, bro

All it needs is themed packaging, a vague colorful tint, and boom it’s now whatever flavor you say it is. If anyone objects, “ah, nope. They just taste bad to you because you’re not a dog”

It’s all such silly goosery

    I can think of nearly nothing that doesn’t smell so close to how it tastes that it makes no difference

    Soap, cheese, coffee, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, garlic, chestnuts, hibiscus, cinnamon, dragonfruit, coconut

      Coffee I’ll give you, though that one is definitely weird to me. It DOES taste and smell the same, but at the same time I love the smell and hate the taste.

      Soap, cheese, vanilla, cocoa powder, hibiscus are nearly 1-to-1 matches for me, smell/taste wise. Cinnamon is exactly the same.

      Dragonfruit… I can’t recall it very well. I’ve had it once since I turned 18, and can only remember that it’s like eating a kiwi with no taste. Not a thing in memory about the smell. Same thing for chestnuts.

      Coconut is another weird one for me. It does smell/taste the same, but the texture is so important that it overrides any concerns of the smell/taste.

          Could be. I’m one of the rare water drinkers, maybe tea every now and then, and if the god-below-the-horrors demands I drink coffee, I have it sugared and flavored every way from sunday.
