Was thinking about this earlier when eating some jello. How did we create the flavor of something like all the different fruity flavors without there being any of the real thing in them? Appreciate the responses!

Chemical reactions often result in the exact same chemical that naturally is made.
You isolate the main chemical that gives a product its flavour, and then you try to make that chemical yourself..
If you mix and Alcohol + an Acid you get an Ester which is a flavour. What you get depends on the first two. Basic Chemistry.

Flavors come from chemicals. Once you figure out that *this* flavor comes from *these* chemicals, then you can simply create those exact same chemicals in a lab: *poof*, “artificial flavors”.
“Natural flavor” just means you extracted the exact same chemicals from a plant or animal source instead of just synthesizing them.
