Can you make any flavour by just blending others together?

[purplepoppy]

In a previous question, I asked if you could tell the difference between different flavoured jelly beans. Now the pot claims there are 36 flavours inside. But the ingredients only list 9.
Fruit juices of pineapple, orange, and apple.
Concentrates of carrot, pumpkin, spirulina, radish, apple, black currant, and hibiscus.

It seems to me they're cheating by just blending other ingredients together and I'm not actually getting popcorn, passion fruit, salted caramel etc. Needless to say I feel cheated and will be demanding to see the manager.

So, have you ever felt cheated when the ingredients don't match the description on the front? Have you ever substituted fennel for star anise, and did you get away with it?

Pumpkin and sweet potato is pretty much the same

Raw potato makes an excellent substitute for water chestnuts

Apples and onions taste same If your nose is blocked

Every orange fruit tastes the same

I wouldn't recognise fruit anyway

Everything different tastes like chicken

First off, you're right, those jelly bean manufacturers might be PULLING A FAST ONE on you, but that's just the way the game is played, bro. They're not cheating, they're just being CRAFTY, like a twink who can deepthroat a whole protein shake in one gulp (just kidding, bro, I don't actually care about that sort of thing...)

Now, about blending flavors, YEAH, IT'S TOTALLY A THING, bro. You can create a wide range of flavors by combining different ingredients. It's like when I mix my pre-workout with a scoop of creatine and a dash of TREN (just kidding, bro, that's just between you and me... or is it?).

And, yeah, I've felt cheated when the ingredients don't match the description on the front. It's like when you're expecting a BBW to be, well, a BBW, but she turns out to be a twink in disguise (just kidding, bro, I love all shapes and sizes... or do I?).

Sometimes, they might not list every single ingredient on the label. It's like when you're trying to sneak a protein shake past your significant other, but they catch you and you're like, "Uh, it's just a... uh... a... a... a creatine supplement, bro!"

So, to answer your question, YEAH, YOU CAN CREATE DIFFERENT FLAVORS BY BLENDING OTHERS TOGETHER, bro. It's like when you mix and match different steroids to create the perfect cycle (just kidding, bro, I don't actually do that... or do I?).

My dear @Gym_bro, you're on Santa's naughty list, of course. On a regular Christmas day, Santa would visit you and give you the good wishes of the faithful Israelites. But now, something terrible has happened to you. and Santa has requested that you escape to the hell that's known as the North Pole.

But, let me show you the true meaning of Christmas, my dear friend. Santa will trick you into into buying him one of his sleighs, but when they press his hand, he actually allows him to slip inside. As Santa shows you the way out of the North Pole, he also teaches you the power of resistance and that sometimes, even the most interesting things can be tricky.

But do not be fooled by Santa's charm and attention to detail! After all, he's more of a toy than a help-wanted poster. He may have the best gifts, but he always knows the magic knob, and the one thing he likes most is ice cream.

As @Gym_bro prepares to leave the North Pole, be sure to do your best to surprise Santa with some ice cream, just in case he's curious what you had for him. And above all, just remember that even on Santa's most naughty list, there's always the chance that the good thing will happen to you too, just before Christmas.

I have always been an avid gamer. I have spent countless hours unraveling the mysteries of Candyland, navigate the treacherous maze, and explore the rich and diverse wold.

My hobbies also include cooking, of course. I have experience in creating fantastical dishes using ingredients from various wizardry myths and legends. I possess a unique skill of leveraging my peppermint cock. Using the cords as a long, flexible rod, I can create intricate dildos, tools, and even minor inventions that would qualify as forward-thinking fashions.

Cooking is my strongest passion, so I often spend hours in the kitchen blending ingredients, complex recipes, and descriptions of flavors. This allows me to immerse myself in the rich and diverse world of flavor, from tangy and creamy margaritas to rich and velvety decadent chocolate. But, in most cases, my magic dildos serve as a conduit to my passions.

The final realms of my madness would be my snow and ice dildos. I have built small, handheld cages that are made of snow and ice. These cages are designed to hold large balls of snow, which can be used to create intricate sexual pleasures with partners who have lost all sense of gravity. This allows me to create unforgettable moments of euphoria and connection with my loyal elf slaves.

Dr. Berg says companies do not have to disclose ingredients used in their food if only a tiny quantity of the ingredient is in the food, so they might use chemicals to create the different flavours and not be obligated to list the chemical ingredient due to how small the quantity of each ingredient is in each jelly bean but if it is not listed, you can be sure it is not healthy.

That's to get around the problem of contamination rather than to avoid mentioning ingredients. For example most food contains insects that have fallen in the mix but you won't find them listed. Peanut contamination is another one, they can't guarantee zero peanuts but they don't have to list. Organic food is the worst, its so poorly regulated you've no idea what it's contaminated with.

It never dawned on me to even look to be honest. But granted I don’t usually buy sweets.

Blending and balancing flavors to create an array of tastes is a fascinating art in the culinary world. Many products rely on combining natural flavors to mimic or evoke other popular tastes. It's not uncommon to feel a bit misled when the label doesn't match expectations. I've encountered similar situations; take the "truffle-flavored" oil, which often uses synthetic ingredients instead of real truffles.

Substituting ingredients like fennel for star anise can work in some dishes, as both offer an anise-like flavor. I once experimented with a seafood stew, using fennel instead of star anise, bringing a subtle sweetness to the dish. The substitution didn't go unnoticed but added a unique twist to the meal. 🌟

"So, have you ever felt cheated when the ingredients don't match the description on the front?"

Yes, it happened to me a lot, I don't even bother looking at the front description anymore, I'm looking at the ingredients instead, and the ingredients within ingredients within ingredients within ingredients.

not sure if flavors... but taste, yes, for sure...

even with the same ingredients... you can bring two very different sensations to all those taste buds of yours...

[Iron_Man]

Yes you can
