"I don't need Skittles," Little Blaine points out. "But I like them. I don't think I would like those."
Quint shakes his head. "The problem is before it reaches the fuel systems, so it would have to be something in sensors... specifically the interface software. For some reason we're designed to detect that chemical and have that reaction to it." There's a snerk and he shakes his head. "I almost suspect it was some very old joke between Dr. Wily and Dr. Light, back when Dr. Wily was still sane... but we'd have to ask Blues to know about that for certain."
"I don't think I'd change it, though. Weird things can happen messing with some parts of our coding... it could end up making other food taste weird. I know that kind of thing can be done, though, because of Morph Moth. He was designed to eat recyclable metals and plastics... he thinks they're delicious, and most human food is nearly tasteless to him."
