2025-02-11
After rodent damage to his car wiring, the author bought Honda's capsaicin-coated mouse tape. Curiosity led him to lick the tape, prompting him to contact Honda PR for ingredient confirmation. Honda responded, confirming the presence of DEHP, a plasticizer, but the author calculated that a massive amount would need to be ingested for harm. The author concluded that it tasted like a Band-Aid and energy drink with a hint of capsaicin, suggesting potential culinary uses.
