    Hope I'm okay to say this but I've wondered:

    Condoms - Flavoured, ribbed, pleasuremax, is there men and women that test these items for a living? Also viagra, tampons, dildo's, and flesh lights? Ew.

    Mcdonald's - Is there a panel of professional chefs that create the new burgers and test them?

    Cat food - Is there a room full of felines at Whiskas, that are constantly fed new recipes? And how do they know which ones the animals prefer?

    So there's people that are paid to eat pet food for a living?! Hmm... Okay so where do they get all the meat for this pet food from? I mean you can get cat food with duck, rabbit, or lamb in. Are there battery farms of rabbits waiting to be slaughtered and fed to cats/dogs but first tested by humans?!

    THey discovered Viagra by accident while testing some heart medicines. Fucking great stuff when you have over done it on the juice.

    Dog & cat food, while does not have the same ingredients a human would normally eat, it made to the same quality specifications as human food (hygiene wise etc). When designing the product which is to be made, a taste panel will and do taste the product.

    They don't sit around eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner & tea, but they do have to taste it on occasion

    Humans eat lamb, rabbit & duck food comes from same sources (low quality, entrails etc). Animals in the farm don't mind if it's a human or a cat that eats them, after all, they're still being raised to be slaughtered
