Mom: Want to help make cupcakes for you school Halloween party? Alice: Can we draw bats on the icing? Mom: Of course! In fact, the cupcake mix is bat flavored! Alice: Really? Really? Alice: What, um, do bats taste like? Mom: Fortunately, exactly like chocolate. Alice: Good. I was afraid it'd be something disgusting, like cough syrup or mayonnaise.

Gee, MY mom told us bats tasted like Brussels sprouts … Until it was baked. Never stuck our fingers in the batter.

Well I won’t eat them, unless there’s vanilla or strawberry batter.
