Best Artificial Fruit Flavor

lychee

what artificial pear-flavored things are yall very refined eaters of artificial flavors eating other than the occasional jelly belly. (I will concede that the pear jelly belly slays, however is not better than the following jelly bellies: tutti fruitti, peach, green apple, the lamented baked apple, top banana, guava, dr. pepper)

I am now longing for Dr Pepper fruit

the fruit of dreams

Fake banana is the most vile and disgusting thing. You fake banana lovers are all clearly insane. Fake grape a close second to worst fake fruit.

Real banana flavored things (like say chunky monkey ice cream) through are fine.

yeah, banana flavor scientists fucked up

And re grape - just the idea of grape Bubblicious turns my stomach blergh.

when i was a kid i used to love super lemon and super cola

All you people and your fancy fruits. I used to walk to the deli with my best friend and we'd get little brown bags to fill with Jolly Ranchers and Now and Laters neither of which I've had in years but I am sure I'd still love both tho obv not grape or banana flavored.

my soul for a banana-flavored Jolly Rancher

ha now and laters

eat sum now save sum for later

The best candies are the once that threaten to pull out/damage your teeth when you eat them

wtf at that typo

when i was a kid the dentist would clean your teeth, politely yell at you to brush/floss more, then have you sit for some kind of fluoride-y treatment, like 10 minutes each top and bottom teeth. the treatment came in artificial flavors, and the banana was so awful that it haunts me decades later

I am outing myself as someone without the resources to regularly visit a dentist (it's been, err, years), but do they still do this?

They still do it but the modern flavors are much less noxious. The old flavors used to give me migraines. Nowadays you have options like "piña colada"

tangerine

piña colada is always disappointing because there is no actual rum in it

you're going to the wrong dentist

also I don't think my dentist has given me a fluoride treatment as an adult so idk

Yeah, banana fluoride is the worst, other than barium perhaps. The key is to get the no flavor fluoride.

I am outing myself as somebody who liked the way the fluoride treatments tasted

What fruit is Juicy Fruit?

Pear!

no way

It is likely that the chemical used for flavoring is isoamyl acetate (sometimes known as banana oil), a carboxylic ester.[5]

whoa

the artificiality of it was a selling point in its heyday fwiw

i reluctantly retract my banana bashing

That said, with a little digging, you’ll find that, in the past, Wrigley has explicitly said that Juicy Fruit contains notes of “lemon, orange, pineapple and banana” in response to emails from curious customers asking for more specific information about Juicy Fruit’s flavour

is Jackfruit good? It sounds good

it's tacos

disgusting savages itt

best to quietly withdraw one's vote and exit the thread after such an admission

maybe issue an apology through ilx publicist Hungry4Ass an hour before poll close

What?! No Sharkleberry?!

I see the challopsy fav. Durian isn't on the list either!
what a joke! (Voted Blue Raspberry)

"sharkleberry fin" sounds like the worst hanna-barbera character ever

I can already imagine the Snorks crossover episode.

lol that was exactly what i immediately thought

Many years ago in college organic chemistry lab we had to synthesize isopentyl acetate (fake banana oil) and it ruined me on banana flavor, including that of actual bananas, for years. I still hate artificial banana flavored stuff and will only grudgingly eat an actual banana.

sharkleberry fin is no ecto cooler

the floor of the Well of Souls is teeming with banana runts

I wonder what my banana-allergic friend thinks of fake banana flavor

now that i've mentioning him I remembered the last time he accidentally had a smoothie with banana in it. vomited so hard he blew up a vein in his eye and it had a big red blotch.

blewberry

pretty sure 'actual banana' taste has changed over the 40 years of my awareness

I see the challopsy fav. Durian isn't on the list either!
what a joke!

^^ (artificial durian flavour gets around the "no durian allowed on board this train/in this mall" hassles actual durian engenders)

artifical feijoa is the best but probably not found outside of nz.

had no idea blackcurrant was prohibited in the US for a century or so due to fear of spreading blight. huh.

Is that like feijoada

the fact you can no longer get Jolly Ranchers in every shop in the UK like you could ten years ago is a fucking disgrace.

I could vote for any of these depending on the type of food being flavoured. Lemon and watermelon ice-cream is the food of gods. I've spent my whole life trying to find a sweet that I don't like and it's still to happen.

voted apple but really like faux pear

can I take this thread to complain that I cannot tell the difference between Grape and Black Licorice Jelly Bellies, and that Black Licorice to me tastes fucking awful, while the Graphs are delicious. ditto for Cherry and Cinnamon but I can stand the Cinnamon ones. someone ought to do something about this.

You don't like cinnamon or black licorice? Those are pretty much my two favorite flavors in the whole world. Also, almond.
