Now that I have your attention .....
What does every cat like? Mice right?
Well how about mouse flavored cat food! Surely there's an untapped market
out there ..... problem is I don't know what a mouse tastes like.
I imagine that I'll have difficulty finding non-feline taste-testers willing
to help with the research ;-)
Oh well .... another sure fire winner down the tubes!

I don't think they like the taste as much as the thrill of the hunt.
Around my area, lizards are the prime target. Perhaps animated cat food
would be a winner?
Pretty funny idea, though. :D

As one comedian put it: "Wild salmon and duck flavour? What the HELL
kind of cat would know what that actually tastes like in the first place?!"
Somebody else pointed out that there are laws about what you can put in
human food, but apparently no such rules about pet food. "8 out of 10
cats prefer Whiskers? Hmm, would that be because it's 98% fat??"

What's stopping you using real mice? One mouse-farm, one industrial

What's stopping you from simply *advertising* it tastes like mice. How many
people who are familiar with the taste of both mice and cat-food are going
to have the money to hire lawyers over your advertising?

Haha ... I'm just having a bit of fun with this one. Was at a small business
owner mixer last night and you wouldn't believe how many people thought I
was serious. God the room was full of stuffed shirt, penny loafer wearing
posers. What's happened to peoples sense of humor.

For the same reason Hedgehog flavoured crisps were removed and Welsh
Dragon sausages required a disclaimer. Here at least you don't require
money you simply complain to Trading Standards.

Ohh this is from a movie isn't it? At first I didn't get it, probably
because I watched it long ago, and in Spanish, so the quotes wouldn't

Haha, I'd love to have seen that but as far as I know it's not even on

Well I'm thinking of firing frozen chickens into an aero engine to simulate a

The version I heard was a railway contractor who borrowed the thrower
from the engine manufacturer to simulate a bird strike on a high-speed
locomotive. Same punchline though... comprehensive destruction.

Yeah, sounded a bit unbelievable. I can't see someone that stupid being
let near such a high-velocity launcher, let alone an aeroengine.

Sorry Bill, I'm a bit confused. I thought that the bird and aero engine test to
destruction was true. I certainly heard it when I worked on aero engines and
when I worked for RR Aerospace, a couple of years ago.
Or did you meant the train one?

Er, I'm confused now! I thought the *frozen* bird-into-engine sounded
unlikely. I'm well aware that room-temperature birds are fired into
engines.
I honestly couldn't comment on the train story; I read it in the New
Scientist some years back and it talked about the 'engineers' doing the
test being surprised when the locomotive and indeed their lab wall was
destroyed by the impact (this was also with frozen birds)... the story
made it sound like they were all fools. Although, thinking about it, the
guy who loaded the thrower might well have been someone else entirely
(assuming it's true).

I thought MythBusters used a frozen chicken.
I'm not sure about the other experiments.
