Let’s face it, most of us never really look at ingredients in food. We don’t even try and bother trying to pronounce those mile long words on the back of the label. However, I will be telling you about ingredients in food that you can pronounce, but you won’t be able to believe that you are actually eating it.
1 Maraschino Cherry
You know those little red cherries that come in a jar? The one’s you put on desserts? Well if you’ve ever gone cherry picking, you would know that normal cherries are a deep red, and go bad rather quickly. However, these little cherries are actually bleached and dyed red so they can keep their fresh, eye popping color. Bleach is one of my favorite ingredients in food. How about you?
2 Hot Dogs
Hot Dogs are made by dozens of companies all around the world, but each one has their own special recipe. Hot dogs are generally made from meat, meat fat, bones, egg whites, spices, and filler. Filler generally contains things like oatmeal, flour, bread crumbs, and anything else that falls into the giant mixer. This includes rats and bugs. Yum.
I feel like anything from McDonalds is sketchy to eat in its own special way. However McNuggets tend to be in the same boat as hot dogs. Any scraps that are left over from the chicken are ground up into a paste, shaped into nuggets, breadcrumbed and fried. These also include rats, bugs and bones. Still hungry?
4 Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino
You might think that the strawberry Frappuccino looks so appetizing with its pinkish rosy color. But guess where that color comes from? South American Beetles! Yeah, the bug is called a cochineal beetle, which is dried and crushed up and squeezed until their coloring comes out. However, these little bugs are FDA approved and are used in pretty much anything artificially red.
5 Vanilla, Strawberry, and Raspberry Ice Cream
If you thought beetle juice was bad, you’ll never want to eat ice cream again. Also approved by the FDA, it is considered natural flavoring so you won’t be able to read this ingredient on the back label. Ready? Beaver anal glands are in your ice cream! I was eating ice cream while doing research for this article, and I chucked it into the garbage. I’m not a fan of eating beaver butt.
Jelly beans, M&M’s, candy corn, and other shiny candy is covered in shellac, which is made from secretions of the female Kerria lacca, an insect native to Thailand. This is another beetle that you will be eating.
Roginaisn't even true anymore, there was this huge dispu...
7 Cinnamon
This is more of an ingredient than an actual food, but I just thought that I would let you all know that the FDA approves 22 rat hairs in each bottle of cinnamon. The good news is that they're ground up so you can't actually see them.
I can probably guess that you are really grossed out right now, and you might actually think twice about going into Starbucks, or getting that ice cream for a movie night. It is always better to eat natural foods like fruits and vegetables because you know exactly what they’re made of. The better you eat, the better you’ll feel. Plus you won’t have to worry about eating bleach or beaver butt.
Janine Some of these are false ,hot dogs are actually worse than what’s written here they contain all the bits the meat industry doesn’t use🤢.McDonald’s nuggets are just chicken breast these days ,There’s no anal glands in ice cream either 🤦♀️.
Cherlylena Some people just don't want the truth. Our government has been lying to the people for years. Thanks for the wake-up call. At least know what you are putting in your body.
Erica I NEVER EVER eat HOTDOGS anyway... ...And so... Again... I do NOT exactly have to be ALL that worried about WHAT BUGS AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL is in them whatsoever at all here!!....
Erica I NEVER EVER eat Maraschino Cherries anyway... ...And so... I do NOT exactly have to be ALL that worried about WHAT BUGS AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL is in them whatsoever at all here!!....
Savanna I can't believe that!
Camila I only believe the hot dogs and nuggets but I still eat them because I like them and I will continue to love and eat ice cream ,and every other food I like, sorry this was a waste of time :)
Lilyv if the purpose of the article was to convert me vegetarianism, it's working :p
Kaitlin Okay I believe the Hot dogs and a couple others,but cinnamon????? .....No...
Sarah Eurgh...chicken..for real :-s
Marzie I need a reliable refernce before believing
Marzie This is nonesense!
selina_igu I knew about the jellybeans and other candys that contains part of a pork(like gelatin, you find it in almost every candy, and it contains pork/bones and these stuffs)... but never heard about all the others ????
Spicee I don't buy all of it. Sounds like sensationalized b.s. Even if it were all true, would not care. Still would eat most of these.
Whe_N Haha! Good info. 😩👎🎉
Ashiaa Im addicted to Starbucks but I never order the strawberry frap so I'm good! 👌💁
Stefanie It sounds like this writer is a load of fun at parties 😒
Annjoylife :sticker_lovely:
Katniss Is this actually true?
Rogina #6 isn't even true anymore, there was this huge dispute between especially MnMs and vegans/vegetarians that they were being tricked into purchasing foods against their religions/beliefs/diets. So no, there are no more bugs etc in MnMs or any other major company like them!
Anoes Jellybeans contains porkbones.
Nasrin omg are you serious
Debf Lay the next load in the orchard.
Hannah Do you really expect me to believe all this nonsense?
