I saw a blind taste test once. A panel were given different flavoured drinks which had all been coloured to be different from the flavour. I.e. Lemon was red and strawberry was green etc... Almost all of the panel got the flavours wrong and labelled them as per the colour not the flavour. Was quite interesting.

Most fruits taste of sugar and citric acid, it's only really the scent and colour that tells them apart.
Some artificial scents / flavourings aren't very good...

 I remember Panda Pops! I liked the blue one too. I've personally found that it's difficult to differentiate between artificially flavoured products. Have done a proper blind test with Maynard's wine gums. I've found most of them just taste like chewy rubber with a "chemical" taste. It's only by looking (or by shoving a whole load of same coloured ones in my mouth) that I can differentiate between the flavours. _________________ He fights for the users.

Wine Gums are the worst sweets, followed closely by Liquorice Allsorts and Parma Violets

Is food poisoning a problem? I would have thought that you would either have to wait till milk curdles or the food gets furry before you chuck it. _________________Do concentrate, 007...

Milk isn't around long enough to curdle. Food gets eaten before it gets furry. I don't have enough money to buy food and let it go off. Mark

I used to love Tab Clear - clear Coke sold cheap to promote it initially (it obviously flopped)  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I can't give you a tab unless you order something.

It's only chicken flavour. No animals were harmed in the making of that flavouring. Mark
