I was watching some show I think Dateline and this woman was poisining her husbands by putting some product you put in cars into her husbands drink. I remember them saying sometimes little kids are rushed to the ER because of drinking the stuff. The problem is I cannot remember the name of the product and i'm racking my brain trying to think of it. I dont remember the name but I do remember its a product you put in a car and it's supposed to be sweet...which is why the husbands couldnt tell it was in their drink and the little kids are so attracted to it. Anyone know what it is?

Haven't seen the show but it would be anti-freeze because this is sweet and could not be easily tasted if mixed with drinks.
But its not that sweet you'd be able to taste it fairly easily.
Anti-freeze is the fluid used as engine coolant in the radiator.
It is a green colour and comes in concentrated form which can be diluted with water for engine use or you can buy it pre-mixed.
Kids could be confused with the colour as to why its not bad for you because from a kids point of view green drink is the tasty stuff :)

anti-freeze. It is sweet, that is why you are supposed to completely clean up spills, or animals will lick it up and die a horrible and painful death. Yes, children will drink it right down, they probably think its kool-aid.
Studies have shown it will cost the companies that manufacture anti-freeze 1 1/4 cents per GALLON to add a chemical to make the antifreeze taste bad, but they won't do it. Maybe we should start a grass-roots write in campaign to the anti-freeze companies!

It's antifreeze.
If animals take a lick of it, they will die very horribly, they will whig out, and then die.
antifreeze smells sweet, the coffee was probably sugared up and a little antifreeze overtime adds up, antifreeze can't digest, so it probably stays in the body.
There is an antifreeze called Sierra, which is supposed to be animal safe, in otherwords, it won't kill an animal, but it's still not good for them, and also, it doesn't protect very well either.

The product is anti-freeze/engine coolant. Have also heard several cases where dogs lapped up spilled coolant and died.
PS -- I tasted it before (not on purpose) and I don't know how anyone would think it's sweet --- bleeck!

Antifreeze, it is put in the radiator to prevent over heating and freezing...the water that is.

Maybe antifreeze? Maybe because it looks like coolaid sometimes?

it's antifreeze, it's toxic but kids and animals like it because it smells good to them

That's probably radiator fluid.
