That is definitely why,"}} it is obvious that when queried about the reason for building the detector, apparently to gain access to large quantities of salt, Ponytail is quick to leap on Hairbun's more scientific-sounding explanation, in an attempt to save face and appear professional. | In the comic, when Ponytail says {{tvtropes|SureLetsGoWithThat|"Yes.

The second, about sugar, was [[1639: To Taste]]. Lately Randall has made several [[:Category:Food|food related comics]]. | This was the first of two comics this week that concerns one of the basic {{w|condiments}} for food, and also regards one of the five {{w|Taste#Basic_tastes|basic tastes}}.
