Haha the thought Emporium is similar too, but more biotech sort of stuff (which can be disturbing to some). He makes chicken soup out of chemicals as it's just taste buds manipulation https://youtu.be/sR8M4zARBXY?si=vuOkeYvR8IqFr3ZK

So is it possible that these things really have of those properties of real things not just taste buds manipulation? So was the cotton to cotton candy... Made it REAL COTTON CANDY? IF YES THEN I'M LEAVING THIS PLANET.

Cotton to cotton candy isn't hard, they're both carbohydrates already.
