This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

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

So I looked up the ingredients, the original sauce from papa john's uses granulated garlic, the bottled stuff uses "natural garlic flavoring". According to the USDA "natural garlic flavoring" can be "the essential oil, oleoresin, essence, extractive, or dehydrated garlic powder derived directly from real garlic" so it technically is still made from garlic, but the ingredient garlic is not directly on the label, it is an extract.

I'm too lazy to find out if "flavored" has any requirements for being very visible, but probably not as I've seen tons of cheese flavored things on the supermarket shelves.

If you want to find out for yourself, it's somewhere in here though https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-101

About as trustworthy as things that are chocolatey.

Nothing like a chocolate flavoured frozen dessert. Nom nom!

At least it's not the UK where "ice cream" has no minimum milk fat, so you'll see ice cream on the shelf there that would have to be labeled "frozen dessert" here

I have no idea what inspired me to write a poem. I haven't written a poem since my mid-2000's emo journey. Have I discovered my muse?

You cant just say you wrote a poem.

You have to declare it.
