Cats with the unusual coat – known as ‘salmiak cats’ (which translates as ‘salty liquorice’)
A better translation would be ‘ammonium chloride’, because that’s what salmiak is.
Sometimes, words mean more than 1 thing…
That is salmiak flavored licorice, it’s not salmiak. Just like a bag of paprika flavoured crisps says ‘paprika’ on the front, doesn’t mean that paprika is another word for crisps.
The only relation between licorice and salmiak is that it’s used to flavour a specific type of licorice.
It’s also used in fertilizer, as flux for soldering or galvanizing metal, in batteries, and lots of other applications.
You can also buy salmiak powder as a form of candy on it’s own.
So…is that the candy is flavored like ammonium chloride?
Damn, toner is running out
Considering that this mutation seems to be caused by a chunk of missing DNA, as the article suggests, that’s actually quite fitting.
“Well, Aktually…. You’re right……”
Basically how I read that.
