A while back some intrepid scientists discovered that the heart of our galaxy tastes like raspberries and smells of rum.

The true reason for wanting to use the Almond syrup was that, along with the Ethyl Formate, they also discovered trace amounts of Propyl Cyanide (which is actually a scary chemical, but it tastes like Almonds).
