The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My dad has said the same about seeing a hot dog factory. I told him NEVER to tell me.
One of my Dad's best friends, who is in his mid-60s now, worked at a Kraft marshmallow factory when he was 19.
To this day he will not eat anything Kraft makes, or anything with marshmallows in it.

News o' the day: Robots Now Guarding Nevada Nuke Site
Citizens of Nevada, you can now relax. The Nevada National Security Site, home to tens of millions of cubic feet of low-level radioactive waste — and location of over a thousand Cold War nuclear weapons tests — is now being guarded by robots. The first of a planned trio of Mobile Detection Assessment Response Systems (MDARS) is currently patrolling some of the more remote sections of the 1,360 square mile facility.
