Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for July 20, 2022

So that’s what happened to Bucky Beaver and Ipana.

If you know something I don’t don’t tell me.

Not in genuine vanilla extract

Real is s-o-o-o much better!

So… you want a lick?

Also where Castor Oil comes from.

I had no need to know that!

Ummm….I get my vanilla in Mexico. There are no beavers in Mexico.

He does now.

No …. and I still don’t.

Mmm … Vanilla ice cream is still the best.

Doesn’t taste the same. They use amadillo anal glands

I read the ingredients on an ice cream container once. One of the ingredients is used in making asphalt!! Beaver is at least organic.

It’s actually from their “castor gland.”

I thought artificial vanilla came from wood pulp.

yep…castoreum

VOMITROCIOUS!

I think this joke was an anal gland secretion.

Someone’s been listening to “Good Job, Brain” episodes!

We buy vanilla beans and soak them in vodka to make our own. It is a very popular Christmas gift.

Ewwwwww yuck!!!

Patently False!!!!

Beaver Anal Gland Secretions are used in Vanilla Flavoring, ie: the fake stuff, not in pure Vanilla Extract. So remember folks when you go to the grocery store, you are what you eat.

She did get a free ice cream cone!

I guess I won’t dare ask about butter pecan …

Yes. Why do you ask…..

Not so bad if he eats one of these first: https://assets.amuniversal.com/1bc7eeb0e443013ab6ca005056a9545d

When beaver secretions were actually used, it was referred to as “natural vanilla flavor”. But it’s too expensive nowadays, so they just use the fake stuff or real vanilla.

Actually, no. They use vanilla beans and liquor.

Where do they get all the beavers?

She really needs a more reputable source of information.

unfortunately this is sometimes true. The ingredient is called castoreum and comes from the castor sacs of beavers. This is information that I really didn’t need or want to know.
