Flavor Memes

Your brain on glutamate: "Wow, this essential neurotransmitter helps me think, learn, and form memories! Amazing biological marvel!" Your brain reading "monosodium glutamate (E621)" on a food label: "DANGEROUS CHEMICAL! ALERT! ALERT! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Meanwhile, it's literally the same molecule just hanging out with a sodium ion. Chemistry doesn't care about your food label paranoia.

The ultimate food paradox! This "Sea Salt" popcorn proudly announces ZERO artificial flavors AND ZERO natural flavors. It's basically Schrödinger's snack—simultaneously flavored and flavorless until you open the bag and collapse the flavor wave function! 🧂 Imagine the marketing meeting: "Let's make our popcorn taste like... absolutely nothing!" This is what happens when food scientists take "clean eating" to its logical conclusion. Just corn experiencing an existential crisis in a bag.
