The way I perked up at "black budget treats." We have a friend of a friend who's a supertaster and I want to be a fly on the wall of food science development so bad.

holy shit i would kill for this

I have a friend who had a summer job at the mccormick spice plant in high school and his food scientist supervisor let him make a big ziplock bag of his own custom salmon rub in the lab as a farewell gift

Food flavor science truly one of the last (mostly non-evil) great American outputs

i worked at a condo building where one of the residents was a big deal at little debbie and she would bring us boxes of prototype seasonal snack cakes months before they actually hit the shelves

Ever since seeing Christmas Vacation I can’t help but think about all the Clark Griswolds developing new non-nutritive cereal varnishes whenever I walk the supermarket aisles

Spent a few years working at the HQ of a grocery store chain, and by far the most fun things were Test Kitchen days and "hey we need you to take these ingredients home and try out this recipe before we publish our quarterly magazine" days
