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

@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

the compound in question is methyl anthranilate, by the way
