The teacher was pretty cool, so I feel like she would have let us try it, but I’ve never met a science teacher who doesn’t have a viscerally negative reaction to the idea of eating something made in a lab. Honestly, the alcohol was probably an excuse

Fair enough, teacher basically covering her own ass. Still, it couldn’t be any more alcohol than a sip of cough syrup just to taste it…
