the compound in question is methyl anthranilate, by the way

i am surprised by these results because "fake cherry" makes us think of that cough medicine flavor that everyone hates

@Felthry imo if your chemical is the words "anthrax" and "annihilate" mixed together you shouldn't find out what it tastes like
@lioness it's just a methylated anthranilic acid, which is an amino acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthranilic_acid (though not one of the ones that occurs in proteins)

@lioness i don't know where the name comes from but it's probably from the greek name of some plant that it was first extracted from or something

Consider: fake lemon
@Tathar well, i did this poll based on the flavors you can get canel's gum in (at least the fruit ones), and it only has four fruit flavors (five if you count tutti-fruti but i don't, and that's in their standard flavor assortment anyway not the fruit flavor assortment)

@Tathar fake lemon is a good flavor though
so is real lemon
we have some limoncello sparkling water and it's not just lemon flavor, it also has the lemon zest flavor

fun fact: fake grape was the first artificial flavoring made, and it's called grape because the person who discovered it (accidentally, i might add) noted that its taste reminded them of grapes--might be specifically of wine even? i don't recall
it turns out to be a compound that's present in small amounts in certain varieties (but not all or even most) of grape, and present in larger concentrations in some red wines
