I went to PetCo with my lady today, to get food for her snake - the food being small rats, neatly frozen. The little ratsickles come in their own pleasantly decorated bag emblazoned with cute sketched mice and snakes chasing each other about. I was faced with a healthy dose of human folly when my lady had me read the bag.
"Not for human consumption" in small, friendly letters.
Now, I hate to think why they felt the need for that disclaimer. Is my species so dumb that even the literate ones might try to eat frozen rats from a pet supply store? I mean, putting aside the squig factor, it isn't cost effective. You'd get more food for your buck at Taco Bell.
That right, folks. Taco Bell is cheaper than rats. Consider that the next time you feel the urge to run for the border...
