I call that snatching the coinpurse

Passive saving and investing. Set automatic deposits to investments and retirement right out of your paycheck. Can't spend it if it's already somewhere I can't touch! You never get used to lifestyle creep if the money is not available to do the creeping.

It's not for sweetness, it's for browning and tenderizing. Sucrose is a much better meat tenderizer and Maillard browning carbohydrate. HFCS will not brown very well, and will not penetrate the meat.

Use it in place of water in a carnitas braise. Only the Mexican coke though

Fly the W! I can't believe I just typed that....

Yeah that happened to me. Thought it was bullshit, re-watchhd the video, and fuck. Rolling stop. No way I could fight it

I see you know your pho

Lol. Usually standard QC procedures are employed; specific gravity, flash point, etc can determine if something was made correctly. It is verified by tasting, but it is tasted at dilution in sweetened water. They keep a stock solution and dilute the flavor to levels that would be found in a beverage. If something tastes off, they will run GC/MS to determine if there are any discrepancies.

Ya hate to see it

He's lying :)

He could have developed "a" bubblegum flavor, but there are thousands. Every brand uses a different flavor. They may taste similar, but all of them have little nuances that set them apart from their competition.

About 400 as of now!

Haha that used to be the case for castoreum. But weve since replaced it with natural and man-made chemicals do we don't have to kill beaver butts 👍

Cheers!

God I hope so. Guava blackberry punch coming to a store near you!!!

Bingo! It's often the bane of my existence. I've developed hundreds of punch profiles, but if it doesn't taste like Hawaiian punch, the customer doesn't want it...

Yup. It's a 7 year apprenticeship. Just look around for a flavor house who is hiring in their lab. That's the best way. Jersey, Cincinnati, Chicago, or LA are cities you'll most likely have to relocate to tho

Like lube flavors? Or the smell of a sweaty dick? In my experience, if you ask about it, it probably exists.

It's the most interesting in my opinion! But the world is your beaker.

I look forward to meeting you, floppy dick Davey.

There's psychopaths out there that would show up at my doorstep and slit my throat if I touched that flavor. It sells really well.

Different strokes for different folks :)

This is what I would point to!

Yup, see my response in the other comment!

It can be. I do a lot of compounded flavors, so combining flavor chemicals together in specific amounts to achieve the desired profile, much like your own formulas.

Bang uses a ton of high-impact artificial sweeteners. Sucralose is their sweetener of choice, I believe.

The flavors are just any old beverage flavors. Although in my opinion they are overly flavored and overly sweet.
