You are eating something and you can TASTE the insecticide!

Dammit!

Mmmmmm, eating organic brocolli... even though it's a couple days old and turning yellow, it still tastes great.  Gotta get out to the farmer's market more often.

I was eating a can of albacore tuna. 


I had the same thing happen with a pack of frozen veggies and some Planter's trail mix.

That happened to me yesterday with a banana. First time I tasted insecticide INSIDE a banana.

Licked it off the outside a great deal previously?

That explains quite a bit, really.

> you can TASTE the insecticide!

Pray tell. How does one know what insecticide taste like?

I think it must taste bitter.  Very bitter.

Bitter signifies toxin in the natural world. I'd guess that the chemical company makes insecticide taste like nothing, or you know, "fruity" to attract said fruit flies.

Most likely the non-fruit taste is what the fruit was washed with (soap). Don't you folks rinse your fruit before eating them?

Ok, some researching .. this is hilarious. Insecticide doesn't taste like anything but Bitrix is sometimes added to it for the sole purpose of preventing humans from consuming too much of it. It is also colored blue to distinguish it from flour, sugar, etc. Otherwise humans might eat too much insecticide *without* knowing it because it has no taste or color, etc.

It depends on the insecticide. Haven't you smelled a weird acrid smell when your neighbor is spraying her fruit trees or roses? Those sorts of smells. Sometimes petroleum like, but not exactly the same.

"Insecticide doesn't taste like anything"

Propaganda. Do you think there is one type of insecticide? There are hundreds, and they all smell and work differently.

What about fertilizer? Does it taste like anything or is taste added to make sure people don't eat it by accident? I have a jug of blue water for the house plants sitting around and I'm pretty happy I don't confuse it with the jug of regular tap water I keep around too. But blue's not the real color of fertilizer last time I checked.

Yeah!  That's the taste.
