Well, the true beauty of scat is the smearing, not the eating. Some of it is sheer artistry. The pros I’ve read about are not just street corner “chocolate submariners” or “soft servers.” There is a craft to this art, and it starts with texture. I’m told the industry standard is a huge ingestion of black beans (no chilis, onions or any other additives to modify color, or create "corning") and peanut butter. This goes on like the best latex paint available, and is easily differentiates from poseurs using chocolate syrup mixed with baking flour. I’m told eating, a/k/a “dinner” went out with KC and the Sunshine Band and Dorothy Stratton. Even disccussing it on set these days is considered poor taste.

It goes without saying that amongst true professionals and afficionados, the use of even Mucilex is considered mortal sin. Fetishists who prefer the high volume “shotgun” approach achieved with bulk fiber and quadruple espressos or cocaine have been banned for years. If they ssee you guzling a box of raisins and a Starbucks in the motel parking lot, you won't even be allowed into the shoot.

What the hell is wrong with you?
