idk a decomposing lion swarmed with bees sounds like a fitting emblem for a product called 'treacle'

I wish they hadn't shut down the space missions; we could send a bee-filled zombie lion to the moon.

xp Golden syrup isn't the same as treacle
― banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
At least in the colloquial English sense. 'treacle' usually refers to black treacle.
― banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
Except when talking about 'treacle tart', which is usually made with golden syrup.
― banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
mmm treacle tart
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 May 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
is treacle delicious? i hope it doesn't taste like meat bees.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 10 May 2012 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
treacle tastes like delicious, not at all like meat bees

Treacle sponge is also golden syrup iirc. And my parents called the golden syrup cake "treacle cake" but 1. Google is not backing me up there 2. apparently there is also a McVitie's / Lyle's black treacle cake which I have never seen in the shops and now want to try.
(Even though there is currently a cake turning to cardboard in my fridge after we ate about 2 slices each, because we are not big cake eaters. Not that you'd know it to look at me)

In 1982 necrophage bees were discovered--bees that feed on carrion. But they don't make honey in carcasses. They spit on the rotting meat and then slurp up the broken-down protein slurry and bring it back to the hive where it's partially digested again and deposited in little containers to feed the larvae.

Protein slurry packs are canned food consumed by terrans. It appears that their taste leaves something to be desired.

the problem with the WH Smith logo snoball posted a ways back is that it's so counter-intuitive with regard to standard reading patterns. in decoding english, the eye wants to go right to left, top to bottom, but that logo insists that we go bottom to top. the first thing we hit is that squared-off 'W', which looks more like an upside-down 'M' (a letter that's much more commonly squared like that), which makes me want to read it spinning clockwise, left to right: MSH.

For a couple of months in the run up to the release of the 1989 Batman movie, there were billboards everywhere with just the logo, nothing else, no text, except maybe the date of the movie's release.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/Batman_ver2.jpgDuring that time, I kept wondering to myself WTF this mouthful of rotten yellow teeth was all about.
