That reminds me of the story about a mom mistakenly buying her daughter an advent calendar meant for cats and only realising it after the child complained about the treats "tasting weird" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be for a few reasons, I'd imagine the number one reason being that cat food by itself is pretty ghastly and its done to keep the smell at bay for pet owners. The other possible reason is to create an addiction in the pet to continue the sales of the food itself? After all, we develop sugar addictions so I'd imagine the animal kingdom is no less?

Well, close, close. It concerns the owner more than the pet yes, but not the smell 2 minutes ago, nudge said: Something to do with taxes then?

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Simple logic, if i can't taste sweetness than i will eat any sweet dish no matter how bad it is because i cant taste it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I know was just telling me that cooking with small traces of sugar on a steak makes it more appealing to photograph due to that nice golden glaze from the sugar.

I guess we can let that count as the right answer. They caramelize the sugar so it gives it a nicer colour and looks more pleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
