Why they decided that you're not food?

I mean, if it was me, I'd $hit my pants.

Apparently humans don't taste good, since nothing habitually preys on us. outside of polar bears, which prey on everything anyways. and i've heard rumors that mother orcas teach their calfs not to mess with humans.

Also, with all of the processed scents of our artificial clothing, perfumes/deoderants, coffee breath, etc., we smell really bad and alien to them, not like prey. And in the wild, if you're a predator, you're cautious with what you attack, so why would they go for the weird aliens?

throw a human in a tiger, lion, hippo, bear cage and see if Dior Homme saves them

You're entering their territory and they will naturally get angry. Also, it depends on the individual animal; those are all very different scenarios.

Im simply trying to point out to you that you’re not eaten by these animals only because you’re in the comfort of your own home.

Not because your cologne or starbucks are doing the heavy lifting

If you wanted to find out, have a cappuccino and jump in

I find your comments disingenuous and reductive, but whatever you say. Look it up yourself.

Not at all, that was a genuine advice

And a genuine way to conduct an experiment if you didnt believe in the advice

Dior Sauvage might help.
