It occurs naturally in butter and other foods, and is considered safe to eat...but when a lot of it is inhaled directly (through, say, a vape pen), it tends to cause irreversible lung damage, which has lead to a certain level of distrust and avoidance. So, to see just how bad it is, I made some...and put it on some popcorn as a snack! Want a sample of my fake butter?

And be sure to check out @Amateur.Chemistry and his video on making diacetyl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMNgq37LfCI WARNING: do not consume homemade flavoring agents...or any other chemicals for that matter. I did it because I understood the risks associated with these chemicals, and only consumed a milligram or less in total (since the product was diluted to under 0.5% concentration in oil, and the two popcorn kernels I ate only had a few hundred milligrams of oil on them).
