Red Red Whine

Red food colouring. It's in a lot of things we eat right? Did you ever think about how they make things red? Bugs. Crushed bugs. The Cochineal Beetle to be exact. Rejean had to share this little tidbit with me today at work. Why? I have no idea but he does like to go for that "shock value" but it didn't phase me at all. I'm ok with eating bugs. I could do Survivor. I get more squeamish when it comes to digesting nasty chemicals myself. Check out the Snopes website for the low down and nitty gritty.

Indeed, sometimes ignorance is bliss.
