Check out this new video on my channel! Linked to this post.

Why does Dr. Pepper smell like lady bugs? Is there somehow a deeper connection between this cute little bug and one of my favorite sodas? Is it just me? In this video, I learn about methoxypyrazines and their role not only in nature (through the defense mechanism of the red spotted creature), but their role in wine flavors and complex soda recipes. Enjoy this wild rabbit hole!

*Friendly disclaimer: I am not an expert on this matter. This is just my understanding and connection of the dots.
