What really is the artificial watermelon flavor we are led to believe is watermelon?
Lets say you were about to taste an artificial watermelon flavored product but were never told what flavor it is and have never tasted said flavor.. what would it taste like?
I have tasted many a watermelon flavored consumables in my younger days and I must say not any one of them have ever tasted like any real watermelon. But I was repeatedly told it was watermelon and I was shown wrappers with pretty watermelons on it so I just accepted it and went about my way naively. I guess this could go well with many other flavors but watermelon seems to be the most obvious one for me.

Let me try to answer this.
If you cut a slice of watermelon and keep it outside a fridge for a few hours, it develops a distinct taste.
I assume that this is what is used when making watermelon confectioneries and once the sugar is added and hard boiling is over, the taste alters slightly.

Interesting factoid: Watermelon taste and odor varies wildly depending on earth/sun/growth time, etc. In Middle to Northern Europe it's impossible to get a watermelon that tastes like anything much at all. In Greece you have watermelon that taste like highly sugared sun water. In Israel watermelon tastes intensely very much like the artificial flavor. Interesting factoid 2: In Japan they salt their watermelon. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

What if I told you... ...water melons are actually orange on the outside and blue on the inside, but since everyone else calls these colours "green" and "red" you think they are green and red?

I've always noticed that. It's just a "fruity" flavor created, it tastes nothing like watermelon.

Only real tasty watermelons come from Astrakhan near Caspian Sea. All other are somewhat tasteless and taste more like water or cucumber.
The question itself if from The Matrix. Chicken taste.

Did you know the compounds that give raspberries there raspberry taste are also present in a lot of other fruit flavours, the artificially created raspberry flavour is important in the flavouring industry for that reason. yeh I read it somewhere im not providing links.
