At my job there this almond flavored coffee pods that when brewed smelled overwhelmingly almond-y. My cousin works in metal reclamation an they work with a LOT of cyanide, I tell him if he ever wants the day off, I'll get him a pod, all he needs to do is spill that coffee and they'd shut down the entire floor to double check things.

(context if you're lost is that cyanide smells a lot like almonds)

Fun fact, wild almonds have lethal amounts of cyanide, it's only through selective breeding that we can eat them

Okay, but why not just breed the almonds? /j
