Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.

Oh, my God. How?

Just... You really wanna hear this? A lot of people think it's boring.

No, no. I... Really, I do. I wanna know.

I mean, did you, like, invent extract or something?

-Kind of. -Really?

Well, my mother used to...

My mother used to make these root-beer cookies,

and I always noticed that the cookie dough

tasted better than the cookies themselves,

and I thought, "Why is that?"

And it turns out that a lot of the flavor

in the root-beer extract evaporates when you cook it,

and so when I was in graduate school, in chemistry,

I figured out a way to use this synthetic derivative

of the wintergreen component, and it just...

It doesn't evaporate as easily. And from that, you know...

Wow.

I mean, you... You figured all of that out, like, with your brain!

-Yeah. -Oh, you must be really rich.
