Jacqueline asked Hal Johnson:

Do you think they'll ever be able to genetically modify a binturong so he smells like Doritos instead of Fritos? (Disclaimer: Other corn chip snacks are available from most retailers and this question should in no way be taken as an endorsement or call to arms.)

Hal Johnson I asked the Great Binturong and he suggested that the smells of various chips and snacks are a more product of your own conditioning than of the “very uncleanly flux” of the binturong. To the initiated, the binturong smells like Brachs’ candy corn. To Baron von Frito-Lay himself, the binturong smells like Smart Puffs and his nightmares.

This is the best question I have received so far.
