You want the real deal or the fake deal?


For Science Fair my friend and I's project is if the human nose can detect the difference between real and synthetic scents. So today we went to the grocery store and looked for "fake" scents. One of our scents is a banana. Soooo, we figured if we needed a fake scent, imitation scents will do!:) So if you don't want the real thing in your banana cream pie, head over to Albertsons and buy yourself some imitation banana extract. It is made of (in the order of highest to smallest amounts) water, alcohol, natural and artificial flavors, and FD&C Yellow 5. Ain't that just sound yummy?
