Whoops, yes indeed. But at least some brand of
mexican vanilla had 'propyleneo glycolica' (badly
misspelled, but that's the best I can recall from over

sweet taste too?

Nor here, so I wouldn't know how either tastes. I've never even felt
an urge to chug 1,2,3-propanetriol, much less the trinitrate ester.
