See Futurama already explored this problem with Bender. As a robot, he can't taste food, but he learned the secret to Ultimate Flavor. It's hallucinogenics. Coca-Cola co. forgot to drop acid into their AI-generated soda. And I'm not talking about the kind that strips rust off of bumpers. Coke has enough of that in it already.
No, the secret ingredient was water. Ordinary water. Laced with nothing more than a few spoonfuls of LSD.
I enjoyed the episode, but hoo boy lsd would not act as a flavour enhancer, take hours to kick in, and probably make a good chunk of people feel nauseous.
