>It's especially concerning because the propylene glycol helps make them sweet, which makes them attractive for kids and animals to drink.

I hate this argument when used to say why flavored tobacco, alcohol, etc should be banned (I'm not sure that you're making that claim, I'm assuming you are only referring to their use in anti-freeze. However, it's a common trend and is used against e-cigs as well). Adult things should taste bad because if they taste good kids will consume them? I like sweets too. Not everything has to taste like Arby's.

Yeah, I'm not making that argument at all. It's only a problem with antifreeze because it's something very harmful to consume, yet it has a somewhat attractive, food-like odor and taste.

Dangerous things to eat should taste bad to indicate you shouldn't eat them, but that's not always practical and this isn't a perfect world.
