Cinnamon oil works just as well, and is easier to find.  It burns quite well
- put a drop on your tongue to see ;-)  I used to put a drop on my tongue
every once in a while.  It made my eyes water, and numbed my tongue after a
bit.  Sorta like the megasour candy you see everywhere these days ;-)

More seriously, has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to
persuade her that ABS tastes REAL bad?

One possible thing. Get a bottle of Chinese hot pepper oil. Rub it on
some bricks you don't care about, and leave those around.

At one time, I kept my birdseed in a large Rubbermaid bin on the deck.
The local squirrel decided to try and get at lunch, and was chewing into
the bin. I realized the error of my ways and moved the birdseed inside
and washed the bin. The squirrel kept chewing. Then I got the idea of
trying the oil. Rubbed the bin cover down well. After a few days, the
bin stopped being chewed and I bought a new one. The squirrel did chew
into it a little bit then gave up.

I have no idea how effective the oil was, but it seems like it might
have done something.

Caveat: One of my friends told me an amusing story. They were sitting in
the living room, and had let the rabit out to roam while watching TV.
They heard a "crash" from the kitchen, went in and found a slightly
chewed on chilli pepper, and the rabit nearby. They returned to the
living room deciding that the rabit had learned its lesson. A little
while later they heard "munch munch munch..." coming from the kitchen.
Ok, what did the rabit get into now? What do you know, the rabit had
acquired a taste for chilli peppers...
