[IALuder]

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. :rolleyes:

the average person who eats hotdogs will eat approximatly 2.3 human fingers! thats interestings, the spider one is wrong, you will eat at lest 3, and there is an arachnid within 3 ft of you at all times

[SolPol]

I heard that the average American swallows about 5 spiders a year.

[AkimboStylee]

that is why i said at least 3

[SolPol]

Yeah, but it's 5 per year, not in a lifetime.
