In this video I extract cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon and turn it into benzaldehyde to make a semi-legal Dr.Pepper while my lab becomes one with cinnamon powder.
Also, it turns out that my tastebuds are retarded because almost everyone in the comments says that Dr.Pepper does not taste like cherry, sorry for the mistake.

My very original counterfit Dr.Pepper recipe:
Ingredients:
100ml of water
21g of sugar
30mg of caffeine (optional)
A few ml of vanilla flavoring
10ml of lemon juice or a few grams of citric acid
0,5 ml of benzaldehyde
200ml (or more) of carbonated water
Dark brown food coloring
Mix all the ingredients together except the carbonated water and shake them to make sure that everything is dissolved, then add the carbonated water and enjoy.
