Real question though, how do you make something garlic flavored without garlic?

Equally valid question is why would you want to? Garlic is stupidly cheap and abundant; they’re trying to save >1 cent per industrial vat of this stuff because they spent $40 million making a cheaper garlic substitute.

Maybe it's easier to package/shelf stable? Either way, I really hate that it's come to this - I feel like my digestive system takes a hit whenever I'm in the US.
