What's the most horrible tasting thing you could possibly think of? Sour milk? Well, move over sour milk. Vilex is here, says 3-2-1 Contact magazine.
"It's the vilest, bitterest taste you could ever imagine," says Mel Hollander, one of the scientists who developed this tongue tingler. "I had to get it out of my mouth as fast as possible."The scientists made Vilex by mixing saccharine--an artificial sweeteneer--with another chemical.
Vilex might be used to coat plastic garbage bags. This should discourage hungry raccoons and dogs from picking through the garbage.
