   Coke Zero Starlight limited edition is "space flavored". Assuming that space is made from cotton candy, that is. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/286539

      >My favorite bit of space-food obsession, though, is what I call "space taste." As in, what does space taste like? In 2009, astronomers were able to identify a chemical called ethyl formate in a big dust cloud at the center of the Milky Way. Ethyl formate happens to be responsible for the flavor of raspberries (it also smells like rum). Space tastes like raspberries!

         @geniusmusing The cotton candy at most fairs contains some flavoring agent. For all I know, it could be a poor imitation of raspberry flavor.
