They usually single out one or two compounds out of dozens which make up the flavor profile, pair it with citric acid and sugar in whatever ratio, and call it good. If they actually synthesized a complex, realistic fruit taste, your laffy taffy would cost about as much as a fine bottle of perfume, which is where they DO pull many compounds together to create an immersive profile.
It might cost as much to make as perfume, but for that kind of “luxury” shit the retail price and the cost of producing the product are entirely separate. Perfume is cheap to make too, it’s the brand that’s expensive.
Because the artificial banana taste is based on a kind of banana that doesn’t exist anymore, so its very inaccurate compared to the taste of actual bananas that people know
When I ate orange(fruit) after many months of eating orage flavoured stuff, I tasted the orange flavour mixed along with a bunch of flavours in the fruit. It was very faint though.
Most candy flavors don’t taste much like their fruit counterpart. IDK why banana is single out most often.

You ever seen a blue raspberry?
Wtf is that flavor?
I like Gatorade’s “Blue.” Not “Blue Raspberry,” just “Blue.” Now we know what a color tastes like, I guess.
I once had “red soda”. It tasted red.
I don’t know but Smurfs candy seems accurate for me
Watermelon Jolly Rancher Gang represent
More flavor than actual watermelons
Awwww yeahhh

Did you somehow not see the many comments here proving that’s not true? It’s been widely reported as being false for years.
I have not
That’s a myth.
