      Haha thanks always good to have support. Sadly it’s made mostly of carbon so probably wouldn’t taste too great and I wouldn’t recommend tasting it. There is a whole area of chemistry around making flavours though but companies have to do a lot of tests to check they’re safe to eat. Also everyone knows peanut butter flavour icecream is the best..
