A scandal that some journalists are stumbling on:

In Europe, manufacturers are required to add something (mustard?) to glycol
to make it taste so pad to animals and kids that they will not drink it. 
Costs like 2 cents US per gallon bottle.  US manufacturers add it to stuff
that is to be shipped to Europe, but won't put it in the USA stuff.  Why not?

I have heard that propeline glycol is not as stable and is inferior to
etylene glycol.  The yucky additive for etylene glycol is not supposed to
harm its performance.

Write your Congressman.
