In the UK, it is possible to purchase a strange powder called "Bird's Dream Topping". <link>
When prepared according to the instructions, the powder is transformed into an equally strange, sweet, glutinous substance, apparently suitable for human consumption. Well, we understand that it's not actively
toxic.
Now, BorgCo technologists have modified the powder to include a medium-strength sedative and small but useful amounts of a number of highly psychoactive compounds, including hallucinogens, ensuring the consumer will sleep soundly, but their dreams will not be pleasant ones.

So, can we also expect "Bird's Dream Bottoming" and
"Fish's Dream Topping"? |
|
| |
In your dreams, sonny boy ... |
|
| |
oh goodness, I don't remember eating that last night. powerful stuff indeed. (I was trying to wash in a flower bed of some description and the hot water killed the flowers) |

//the linked foodstuff has propane listed in the
ingredients// |
|
| |
It's "Propane-1,2 doil esters of fatty acids", which is a
wholesome and nourishing foodstuff. |
|
| |
//Propane-1,2 doil esters of fatty acids// & //wholesome and nourishing //
<Homer Simpson>Mmmm, propane...
<Homer Simpson>Mmmm, esters...
<Homer Simpson>Mmmm, fatty acids...
<Homer Simpson>Mmmm, d'oil...
|
|
| |
So the idea is "spike processed foods with hallucinogens"? |
|
| |
Not all processed foods; just one product, that hardly counts as a food anyway. |
|
| |
// //perchance to dream// sp. "scream", shirley. //
Nice one, [FT]. Edited. |
|
| |
Hmph... come back when you've worked out how to compel the dreams to be about birds, or possibly about flying. |
|
| |
// compel the dreams to be about birds, or possibly about flying // |
|
| |
Results on dream guidance have been unpromising. The nearest thing to flying achieved so far has been dreams about being at the top of a very high, unsafe, unstable structure, and sometimes falling off. |
|
| |
Birds... Borg... topping... definitely a "flying saucier" pun in there somewhere. |
|
| |
Ah. When I said "wholesome and nourishing", I mis-
read "doil" as "diol" on the Birds website. |
|
| |
It's clear, though, that they have invented and
entirely new form of chemical, the "doil", for whose
wholesomeness and nourishingness I am unable to
vouch. |
|
| |
An immediate research programme is called for ! |
|
| |
The typical approach would be to feed it to the children of the economically disadvantaged, and if the substance proves acceptably non-toxic, try it on laboratory rats and mice (which are quite expensive). |
|
| |
It appears that this methodology has been used by your species for many centuries, but has now been largely abandoned in many areas. The reasons for this are unclear. |
|
| |
So what's the difference between this and plain old
Spam? |
|
| |
From my rather foggy & ancient memories of Birds' DreamTopping (and Angel Delight too, come to think of it). I think it had this effect anyway, didn't it? |
|
| |
That was just the sugar rush. Now, with added peyote, caffeine and ergot ! |
|
| |
I saw a car today covered in a bird's nightmare topping. |
|
| |
When I was young we used to call this birds’ cream droppings. |
|
| |
Fish's nightmare bottoming. |
|
| |
No: fish's day-stallion bottoming. Or bottomry. |
|
| |
At first glance I thought it said "Bird's Nightmare Dropping". Just when I forgot my chrome steel umbrella. + |
