Guinea pigs are non-social autistic little fuckers, and snails are just snails. I can believe it.
And don't underestimate human smell. Sure a lot of mammals are better at it than us, but we don't actually rank that badly in the entire animal kingdom. It's just that smell is a very subconscious sense and people tend to disregard its importance, even though anyone who loses it because of some health reason will tell you it's hell.
The human palate is the result of evolutionary pressure to create a desire for the myriad nutrients our body needs. Anything beyond that is conscious choice.
Don't give your dog chocolate

That's a very limited understanding of evolution. Most things evolve for more than one reason. Sometimes things evolve even though there isn't a real reason.
That's true, but I think my generalization is still pretty valid in this case.
Odd question given how much monkeys, raccoons, squirrels, etc. love to get drunk.
it was bait
I know that dogs don't give a fuck about taste, it's all about smell to them.
That's why dog food is drenched in putrescine, the dog's owner can't smell it but it shouts "FOOD" to a dog's brain
Almost all animal get the concept of "treat", be it sugary or something else, so I would say to some extent.
But I don't think they give a fuck when it comes to basic nutrition.

Bullshit, my dog was all excited by a strawberry, he begged and begged, he was given one, and as soon as it landed in it's mouth it was spat out on the floor and he just sat there staring at it.
The flavor clearly matters to some extent.
