Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Salix Pharmaceuticals has a new product on the market called MoviPrep, to be taken for colon cleansing in advance of a colonoscopy. Okay, so I think it's a poorly chosen name, but that's not so uncommon, really. What gets me is this sentence from the product website: "MoviPrep is the only PEG lavage with ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate to increase stool volume and enhance taste."
Thank God somebody is addressing stool taste. Mine tastes shitty. (thanks, Brooke)
Reminds me of the old joke:
How do you know if your roommate is gay?

They also make products to make stool taste bad. Leave it to BigPharma to sell you a problem and then sell you a solution. :)
