I used to live on this stuff in the good ol' days.
Now you can get it on a t-shirt through the University of Texas at Austin School of Biological Sciences. Although, you know, "Texas flavor" does sound like it's setting up the punchline for a joke.

There are always a few strange leads to cephalopod miscellany in my mailbag…people have this odd idea that I like tentacled molluscs. So here we go, a few strange things on the strange ol' internet.
This t-shirt is anatomically incorrect! I'm not sure what that thing is, but it's no cephalopod I'…
I alluded to this on Twitter, and meant to leave that be, but the other thing I was going to blog today didn't come together, and I probably shouldn't leave a cryptic tweet as my only comment. So...

I've heard back from a few people now who contacted Google about the issue of indexing creationist sites in Google Scholar; these are informal remarks from the team, not an official policy statement, but they're still interesting. And revealing. And useful. They'll change your perspective on Google…
This particular piece has had a long and storied past, originating as far back as my term as an Immunology lecturer during my Ph.D. days (we're talking back in 1997 or so). Essentially, one of things I did (and still do) with my lectures is incorporate graphics that are both visually interesting…
A few years ago, UT acquired a new theme for some advertising promos -- "What starts here changes the world" -- so the "What changes here starts the world" slogan here is a nice twist.
Eating primordial soup? Oh what utter sacrilege! You could be stopping a whole new tree of evolution from growing!
If you have some spare agar there is no point in wasting it. Add a little kiwi fruit, chill it in the fridge, delicious. However, avoiding confusion between fresh unused agar and agar that has had someone's sputum smeared on it is rather important.
After reading the list of ingredients on the back, I'm struck by how little attention the scientific community has paid to the role of barbecue flavor in abiogenesis. This could be a revolution in the making.
"Texas flavor" -- perhaps it's made from real Texans (or will make real Texans?)
All Texans started out as slime. Is that what you are saying?
"T-sip flavor"...still this Aggie finds it pretty clever.
Probably does have a hint of tea in it. It also seems to have a hint of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in it, too. Ramen!
Every once in a while something comes along that falls squarely into the "I gotta have that" catetory. True happiness is achived when said item moves from the "I gotta have it" category to the "Lookie at what I have" category. Temporary contentment, fortunately, can be had by moving the item to the "I'm getting it" Category. Of course, if they use UPS, I'm screwed.
I think the soup needs a bit of flavoring,though. I'm partial to the flavor imparted by the chaos of ID - to the point where I sometimes binge-feed on the critters. The down side, is, or course, all those empty calories.
