Where Mules Are Your Only Concern

You may think that food packaging has gotten increasingly baffling lately.  You will see the words "natural flavor" and "artificial flavor" bandied about.  A special note halting this paragraph would be that I don't know where "bandied about" comes from, but I know how to use it and i like how it sounds.  You may say "How is it artificial flavor if it indeed exists and is made from ingredients found on Earth?"  You would go on to point out that things found on Earth equal natural things, whereas artificial things are made up from nothing.  Well you'd be partially right, you idiot.  Artificial flavors are the ones that warn you prior to your eating them.  Take a typical package of snickers, containing natural and artificial flavors. The natural ones, you will taste.  The artificial ones, you will observe on the long strip of paper enclosing the bar, which reads "chocolate, nougat, nuts".  Special Note:  This long strip is NOT the packaging.  Do NOT eat the packaging.  You are meant to eat the strip which indicates the flavor you are to imagine from its indications, whereas eating a foil wrapper would be idiotic.  The enjoyment is a cerebral one, but not at all inauthentic.  Therefore, we come back to the question of whether it is artificial at all.
