The thing about artificial flavorings is that they can have a taste that is not even vaguely reminiscent of the food for which they are named. It’s usually not a big deal because there’s no situation in which you would (for instance) wash down a mouthful of cherries with a swig of cherry Kool-Aid, and because we’ve gotten accustomed to identifying isoamyl acetate (for instance) as “banana flavor.” However. I’m sitting here reading a package of Blue Gummi Sharks. It says they are artificially flavored. And what I’m wondering is, what would be the natural flavor of Blue Gummi Sharks?

- I know you have your choice of blogs; thank you for choosing 100 word rant. I believe that any idea that needs more than 100 words isn't worth expressing in the first place. So I've dedicated myself to these rants: One hundred words, no more, no less, each and every week. I want to reach out, share some of my insights and, yes, a little of the wisdom I've picked up in my journey through this funny thing we call life. Plus, I don't get paid for this, and even a hundred free words is more than I can afford.
