Yes technically it’s not real wasabi.

But root beer sold now isn’t technically real root beer.

And most American foods are varying degrees of fake anyway.

In the US, fake foods are often preferred over their authentic originals.

I just meant that whatever memory benefits there may be from actual wasabi won't apply to fake wasabi.
