I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Not even that. I had a cook in college who added sugar to every sauce. Like cups. I could never eat it. A lot of the other folks found it fine.

If I only had a brain...
And now.... the rest of the story.
"ATLANTA (AP) -- The woman who says she gained the trust of suspected courthouse gunman Brian Nichols by talking about her faith in God discloses in a new book that she ga ve him methamphetamine during the hostage ordeal.
"Ashley Smith did not share that detail with authorities after she talked her way out of captivity.
"In her book, 'Unlikely Angel,' released Tuesday, Smith says Nichols had her bound on her bed with masking tape and an extension cord. She says he asked for marijuana, but she did not have any, and dug into her crystal methamphetamine stash instead. [...]"

What is even happening?
Of course, the way we know stuff is poisonous is that somebody died of it once.
Probably a two year old.
Almost everything is too sweet for me, and other than not adding sugar to anything I make at home, I haven't yet found a solution. The collective American sweet tooth is driving the commercial food train right now.
I love desserts, but commercial sweets are generally way sweeter than I think they ought to be.

Actually, ketchup was originally derived from a Chinese picked fish sauce called ke-tsiap. Tomatoes and sugar came later.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's called "ketchup".

Ironically, the inventor of ketchup was though to have been shot only to be revealed later to have faked his own death with his new fake blood invention. Only later was the fake blood compound to be found to be tasty on french fries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also called "Papa John's".
But they also give you peppers and garlic butter. I forgive them.

I think the problem with a lot of tomato sauces is an over-zealous use of what I'm pretty sure is basil, rather than actual sugar.
