And they do deep fry caramel, if you count the innards of a deep-fried Mars bar. Ick. I actually like a hint of vanilla in my cereal, but not my tea. And fake maple? It's a hanging offense.<br/><br/>Cheri, artificial fruit flavours are the worst with fake banana winning (or losing) hands down. <br/><br/>Roxanne, pomegranate molasses sounds promising. Too bad it was a disappointment.<br/><br/>Cheryl, the chipotle craze hit here, too. Andrew mispronounces it on purpose just to bug me. I love chipotle in chili and stew (okay, and brownies) but it's worked its way into salad dressings and corn chips. Make it stop!! Dana, fake flavours should be banned!!

Chipotle this, chipotle that. I even learned how to pronounce the word properly, and it wasn't easy.<br/><br/>Don't think I ever saw chiptole caramels, but I wouldn't be shocked if it were out there somewhere.

While I love fresh strawberries and cherries, artificially flavored cherries and strawberries are just gross to me. I love caramel, but could do without cherry and strawberry flavors.

See what an impression you make when you rant a bit?Happily, we've heard no reports of anyone deepfrying caramel. Yet. <br/>Flavours that need banning? Artificial vanilla from all kinds of things. I love vanilla but I don't need it in my cereal, my tea, my cats' food (that latter is hopefully an exaggeration.) There's still too much mint flavoured everything around for my liking. (And I love mint, too).Fake maple because maple is awesome and fake is not. <br/><br/>Nothing else springs to mind immediately because I avoid flavoured coffee, those artificial 'creamers' used in said coffee, and anything else that has additives. I suspect green tea and chai-flavoured tea will be the next over-used flavoids (which is my personal neologism for flavours that are void of any real flavouring, merely chemicals).

As long as it is true caramel that is. I'm sick to death of fake flavours - especially butterscotch! I love caramel so it can stay. As long as it is true caramel that is.
