NerdBird's Riddle Archive

In the beginning of every month, I publish a bunch of new riddles - 4-5 every time, as it's supposed to be one per week. Every riddle has been constructed and tested by me, but still I won't guarantee that they "work". Never mind, go ahead and try!

Riddle #76 (published September 30, 1999)

Please note that as usual, all "information" is purely fictional.
The ministry of health has just forbidden 3 food chemicals as lab test showed some frightening results when rats were fed with these chemicals. Avectamine is an artificial colour. The rats developed green fur if they were fed with the chemical produced from South American jungle-flowers. the chemical produced by Loing-Shord Corp. was to be used in dog food. Egidaine is produced from emu eggs. Candy Chem Corp produces the artificial sweetener. The rats that were fed with the preservative suddenly wanted world domination. The rats developed extra paws if they got the chemical used in candies. The rats that wanted world domination did not get the chemical formerly used in cookies. Rats fed with Dorkophtaine developed green fur. ToxiCo produced a chemical based on a rare mineral.

How did they produce the chemical used in cookies?
