    I don’t think the Pavlov one is an ew. He rings the bell and brings you your food. You salivate. You associate the bell with his wonderful food and after a while the sound of the bell makes you salivate before your food even gets there.

    Shouldn’t that be “Dr.” Pavlov?

    The “Ewww” comes with the association between food and saliva. Sure, we all use saliva to partially digest food, but not many people want to think of spit when enjoying a meal.

    In fact, this reminds me of a comic I read in the paper … I think it was Foxtrot, maybe. One of the characters pointed out that every time you eat, you’re actually eating food and saliva. You’re always eating steak and saliva, cheeseburger and saliva, cereal and saliva. Even when you brush your teeth, that’s still toothpaste and saliva! The character being told this was then grossed out and didn’t want his or her food, if I recall, which was then taken by the main character.

    Chuck #1 — even if you are right about the restaurant just the name is EWWWWW. But clearly I read it as that was what he is offering

    Chuck - Mr. Pavlov opened the restaurant after his brother, Dr. Pavlov, related a couple stories to him.

    I don’t think he’s actually serving saliva. The man said it was an interesting concept. What is interesting about a restaurant that serves saliva? I’d want to know as little about it as possible. Isn’t that the opposite of interesting?

    bAT L. If anyone really thinks that’s gross, how do they feel about the idea that they are carrying saliva in their mouths and swallowing it all say whether they eat or not? I’m fine with saliva as long as it is my own. Or my boyfriend’s. Man, so do those people not French kiss?

    You know what’s awesome? Saliva becomes acidic when you’re going to eat and then turns back to neutral. That way it can help you digest your food more efficiently without needlessly corroding your mouth all day.

    Saliva is like hair. You stroke and caress your girlfriend’s hair and later you find a strand of that same hair on the soap and you use a tissue to take it off because you’re too grossed out to touch it.

    I actually don’t have that problem either. I’m always the one who picks up hair in my bathroom and I know it’s just mine and my sister’s so it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m always the one picking it off the brush, too, which only bothers me because my sister loses more hair than me so she should clean it once in a while, too. Now hair in my food, when I have no idea who it belongs to and if that person has clean hair or even what kind of hair it is, is a problem for me.
