Antifreeze

uhhhhh what

I’m guessing it sort of came from the fact that we cook food with burning wood. Less so now, but burning wood meant cooked food for 200k years.

I don’t think wood smells like it is edible, but a fire can remind me of food through smell.

Maple syrup?

No it doesn’t

Liquid smoke has warning labels on it

I'm not sure I agree about the smell of wooe, but the cambium of many different tree species is perfectly edible. Have at it, my friend!

All the 10s in my neighborhood love to gobble on my wood, though?

Edit: It was a joke. There are no 10s in my neighborhoods, and if there were, they would probably not choose to have intimate relations with me.

Please don't make this reddit.

Hey nobody's stopping you from gnawing on some cedar shavings my dude.

Call me weird, but I have never once salivated to the smell of any wood.

I spent the day making a planter box out of cedar, and it doesn't smell like food even a little.

We can, and do, eat wood. It's listed as "cellulose" in the ingredients, and it's in everything. Your ice cream, your bread, probably up in yo closet doin your Mamma right now
