He says it has a good flavor. You can get him out of this by either putting him into loving mode or getting an ALLEN JONES unit to yell at him. We are not responsible for any damage caused you your ALLEN JONES unit.
Loving mode is actually quite easy to unlock. In fact, some confuse it to be his default mode seeing as 20% of ways to get him out of the box can set him to this. All you must do is either, bake cupcakes, or eat one of his. The one's he's offered you, not the ones he's eating. Eating one of the cupcakes he made for himself can set him angry mode.

Angry is very easy to set of by accident. Eating the cupcakes your OLIVER KIRKLAND has made for himself can put him in this mode. Cursing and not paying the swear jar can cause it as well. In this mode, his cupcakes have an 80% change of containing nightshade. For reference, blue cupcakes may contain poison, pink may contain body parts, but white is normally safe except for laxatives. A Loving ARTHUR KIRKLAND or a FRANCIOS BONNEFOIS can get him out of this mode. CUPCAKE the CAT can also help. Being kept in this mode for a long period of time may cause your OLIVER KIRKLAND to end up in Cannibal or even Psychopath.
Psychopath is unlocked by continually annoying OLIVER KIRKLAND while in Angry or Cannibal. In order do get him out of this mode, you will need money for the swear jar, several dozen cupcakes, and your CUPCAKE the CAT.

Opposite mode is also known as 1p mode. It in unlocked by leaving OLIVER KIRKLAND with an ARTHUR KIRKLAND for a long period of time. When you return, OLIVER KIRKLAND will be acting very similar to ARTHUR KIRKLAND. This mode may take a while to return to default, however, an ALLEN JONES unit can snap him out of it near instantaneously.
