Maybe its the type of anti freeze that Vanagons use that tastes so good? I wouldn't know that, as I run an Air Cooled :-) Although, any antifreeze I have inadvertantly tasted was also used which certainly can't be considered tasty. Maybe the fresh stuff tastes better <shrug>

I didn't bring it up to argue. Like I said, I have tried to get rid of animals with it, and never once got one to come near it, so if you ask me, animals don't treat it like some sweet tasting elixer. Others disagree, and that is cool. (I already explained, I don't do it anymore, I was a bad person, so if anyone missed that, don't pounce on me.)

No big thing, just weary of all the "don't hurt the animals" stuff that comes up every time someone says antifreeze. I think what I feel about it is that If it could be shown that it doesn't hurt animals, would it be okay to spill it all over, and leave it laying around carelessly? Of course not. We ought to be careful and dispose of it properly because its the right thing to do, regardless of cats and dogs. Guess its just my night to say something, anything :-)
