No thank-you.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

At least they are admitting that vanilla is plastic. More than what McDonalds does!

Y’all can have mine.

[mewzilla]

GACK.

[butlerweave]

so why are we wasting money shipping(wasting fuel) this stuff around the world to be burned

[Rebelbase]

This is racist science if they can’t make chocolate out of plastic.

[TBall]

So when I put pure vanilla extract into my pie it has nothing to do with plastic? So if I had to drink a shake from McDonald’s chocolate is the one.

[Larry Lucido]

For every one million plastic bottles sold each minute globally, only 14 percent is recycled

I thought Kramer and Newman solved that.

Or sausage!

[LoneStarRebel]

Guess it can’t be as bad as castoreum...or can it?

[wardamneagle]

Styrene.....

Next we'll be reading that waste from a port-a-potty can be reconstituted into chocolate pudding . . .

[skimbell]

Euell Gibbons was so far ahead of his time.

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t want to know what they make from used condoms.

Too much plastic and not enough demand for vanilla. What about conversion to synthesis gas, a 19th century technology?

[Texan5]

No thanks-I don’t eat processed food-no frozen, canned, no packages or boxes, just organic, local produce, fresh fish, meat from free range animals, etc-I only buy vanilla from Mexico-because it really comes from vanilla beans-any frankenfood/artificial item does not fit my organic paleo diet-plastic vanilla flavoring sounds gross-it might not be exactly beneficial for humans, either-why risk it ...

[Right Wing Vegan]

Subway sub shops used the ingredient that makes yoga mats pliable to make the dough easier to work with.
