I swear those jackasses just go on and on, eventually agreeing on a description that's usually just as dubious as any other. Hints of currant and cat piss, indeed.

I love you too (and all the other Gizmotians).

I can see that the robots tried to take over humanity, but they were too fat, and had sex all day. Granted we need to invent some kind of robot that can determine how good somebody is at sex, but I working real hard on just such a device.

Maybe what they thought Tasty Wheat tasted like tasted more like oatmeal, or tunafish. Maybe that's why everything tastes like chicken.

It's nice to see these things being promoted, after years of taste testing cat food. But it's strange though, because they all determine that it's absolutely delicious.
