At which point did you know that Mango flavour, ie mango flavoured drinks and such, comes from a cats arse!! The Mango flavour is actually secreted by cats and is scraped from the gland in a cats rectum.... this is the same gland they scent mark with!!

Hmm Nice!!

What a load of cobblers!

Easier and cheaper to extract mango flavour from mangoes.

Awful lot of cat's arse-holes would have to be scraped to keep up with demand.

Nice try though.

Oh you wish that were true!! Go into the next 7-eleven you come to, have alook at the bottles of "Sunny Delight" or any soft drink that contains "mango flavour" and read the ingredients, even mango juice drinks in Thailand contain "mango flavouring".... and guess what.. I know where it comes from, and now so do you!!!

Why is the sea salty?

The blue whale possesses an 11 foot long penis and produces 400 gallons of semen. When the whale mates only 10% enters the female whale. That means 360 gallons of semen is spread around on the water.

When they put cat poop in a polyester bag under hydrolic presses, PURE mango flavor is the result.

It is approx 1,000 times the strength of real mango.

NO ONE uses the real thing for bottled drinks!
