BEAVER ANAL JUICE!

I know it's old news...but always makes me laugh. Especially when I randomly see this is my FB feed today.
/u/abdada has a beaver farm and "milks" them daily for yummy castoreum.
That's why he's disappeared. He thought the beavers had finally been tamed when they lined up in formation for their daily milking, instead of the usual chasing-down-and-catching routine, but the beavers had other ideas...
At least u/abdada left us this

Beaver anal juice actually creates a vanilla flavor. See paragraph below..
>The stuff in your vanilla cookies, vanilla flavoured vodka, many vanilla ice creams, those $2.99 "vanilla extract" bottles at Walmart? Not vanilla. It's made from a synthetic, called "vanillin", which is made from petrochemicals (ewwww!) The chemicals are lingnin, a garbage byproduct of the paper and wood industry, and eugenol, which is a component from clove oil. There is another source of vanillin too: beavers. Good old Canadian beavers. It can be extracted from castoreum, which is, errr, uhm, well, no way around this: it's the secretion from the anal glands of beavers. Ewwww. :) (sidenote: don't fret - only about 5% about .5% of the world's vanillin extraction comes from beavers! Second sidenote - you can get drunk while enjoying castoreum!)
Here's the full article by /u/ilikeycoffee, fascinating read on vanilla in general. Very much worth checking out.
