TIL. From now on I am going to be extra vigilant regarding fake vanilla.
Far too expensive for mass market. Mostly used in the perfume industry as a fixative. If you've ever bought Red Door, Opium or Chanel No.5 you've caused the death of many beavers. Cheap vanilla substitute is brewed from pine bark. Also natural.
But it's natural ๐ค

It's a problem with multi-tasking. So much brain power used in fake vanilla vigilence there is not enough left to track the threads properly.
