sorry to say i know the coca cola one is flat wrong, 1. because my family owned and operated a local soda buissness for over 30 years and i know the mixtures that are put into colas, and 2. i have been in several coke and pepsi plants moving softdrink equipment and although they may add some color i can guarantee you it is not green without any additives.

Yeah, they are actually allowed a certain amount of insects and all that in all food. Certain things can't be helped.

I had an old roommate who did HVAC work. He got sent to a place where they make the Girl Scout cookies. He opened up a vent high up in the plant and dropped a whole shit load of bugs and larvae into a huge vat of cookie dough. The guy told him not to worry about it, that the FDA allows a certain amount in all vats.

Yummy.

Needless to say, he doesn't eat GS cookies anymore.

If we knew anything about half the food we ate, there would be a lot of stuff we probably wouldn't eat anymore.


I've heard too about the FDA allowing a certain amount of bugs and such pass inspection. Our health teacher in high school told us all about it....mouse droppings, insects, you name it. Mmm, makes me hungry.
