I wouldn’t know. 😛

Seriously, though, supposedly it is. It’s also what almond extract tastes like. & almond extract tastes more like maraschino cherries than grenadine syrup does.

I eat M&M’s in this order:

blue  
green  
yellow  
orange  
red  
brown

I eat fruit-flavored candies in this order:

Lime/Sour Apple  
Lemon  
Orange  
Cherry/Strawberry  
Grape  
Grape is my favorite flavor. I like to save the best for last.
