Why don'the they add something to anti freeze to make it taste bad? Apparently it's sweet tasting.

I thought I had read something that the "sweetness" was something that repelled animals from it and they just assumed humans knew better than to drink anti-freeze.
 
You guys swept Tech in Houghton, I thought you were good this year...
Since then they've gone in the tank. I dunno. We've had injuries but still shouldn't be this bad. I think they're trying to be too fancy. Making that extra pass and not shooting, defenders think they're Bobby Orr, and our goaltending has gone to *. We probably won't make the playoffs and I don't have any hope for beyond this season.

Great beer run around the metro area, topped off with meeting up with LWB and Dude Love for a pint near the X. Busy day, and now it's time to relax. And of course, *HT.

It's ethylene glycol - I think it's tough to change the taste of something that is sweet at it's core. It does look like companies have started adding stuff to make it less sweet - after some quick online research.
Ugh. FFS, there are documented cases of murder where that's been involved.
Yup - that's the reason they color it now. Originally it was clear. There was a story that we talked about in orientation (because I work at a liver transplant center), where there was a woman with several visits over the course of the year for lethargy compounded with kidney and liver problems. They couldn't figure out why. She would get better over the course of her ~10 day stay, go home, and then be back a few weeks/months later. She finally died after one of these episodes and it wasn't until the autopsy when they did some sort of tests on her urine that they discovered she'd been poisoned with anti-freeze. Husband was convicted. He was mixing it into her juice at home.

HHT! NaSK and I went to the Tech @ Bowling Green game. Good to see Mel, HN, and their little ones.

Then got home and watched the Michigan game which we had recorded.

Went fishing this evening. Got home and cleaned some walleye. Grilled a steak and then I enjoyed a tasty beverage and watched the BSU game via DVR.

HHT.
