This Post Contains No Artificial Flavors

Think about the number of artificial smells and flavors that we have in our lives. I find it amazing that we try so hard to reproduce things that already exist. "Fresh vanilla scent!" "Banana flavored!" Why don't I just go smell some vanilla and eat a banana? I'm sure it's much better for me than all of those chemicals that they put in there to try to make me think I'm smelling vanilla or eating a banana. And then we get so excited when a scent or a flavor is true to life. The funny thing is they usually smell or taste nothing like their inspiration. Now, if they could make something that smelled like rain, that would be a different story. Otherwise, there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
