Don't let it sit on your wood furniture - it probably hardens up like Shellac too.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs. -

Maybe that is why Starbuck's coffee is so bitter?
That said, I think that I would rather eat a natural dye obtained from a high protein source than some wierd lab dye that 10 years from now will have a lawyer ad on TV...That awkward moment when you realize it IS your circus and those ARE your monkeys!Comment

Bugs seem like a bit of an odd thing to get worked up over - even for an animal rights activist, wouldn't the ham sandwiches be a bigger deal? You've got to make the red dye out of something. And it's probably something most people wouldn't want to eat.Comment

if youre drinking red foo-foo starbucks drinks you need your man card pulled...this is becasue the vegans and veggitarians are boo-hooing..who cares really...we've been eating that pink slime crap most of our lives and never knew it and were were fine with it....Meh.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

Haha, yeah, the guy had known about it for 17 years, and we just now care? Even the guy/FDA scientist that brought it up simply called it "economic fraud" and nothing was ever said about it being unhealthy or unfit for human consumption. Even better, was it was substituted for a previous filler, which the previous filler material wasn't ever mentioned, could be worse!Originally posted by JOES66FURY View PostLast edited by TheSilverBuick; March 29, 2012, 08:09 AM.Escaped on a technicality.Comment

strange product.
mexicans called it tuna blood.
they should use beef tuna and chicken to satisfy the vergetarians concern over the bug.

Wow! We have that stuff on our Cactus! It is truly a beautiful Crimson Red. Our oldest daughter used it one time for a science project about natural dyes, we really didn't know what it was though, it certainly dyed things well!Originally posted by TC View Post
It looks like some kind of mold or mildew when it is on the cactus, it seems to eventually kill the cactus...I had no Idea it was bugs!
See how much you can learn from Bangshift!That awkward moment when you realize it IS your circus and those ARE your monkeys!Comment
