Did you know Jelly beans and apples are coveredwith some pretty gross stuffs?

Jellybeans are a tasty treat and come in many flavours, but did you realize their shiny coating is made from bug feces? Shellac, also known as confectioner’s glaze, is made from a resin excreted by the female lac beetle, indigenous to India and Thailand. The resin is processed into flakes, dissolved in denatured alcohol to make liquid shellac, and then sprayed on food products or used to make lacquer for hardwood floors and furniture.

Shellac is also sprayed on grocery store apples to make them shiny and keep them fresh in the store. When you pick an apple fresh from the tree and rub it on your shirt, you will produce a nice shine from the natural waxy protection already present in the apple skin. But if you wash that apple first, you won’t be able to make it shine as washing it removes the waxy coating. Apples sold in grocery stores must be washed for sanitary reasons and then sprayed with a fine mist of shellac to restore outer skin protection. Without this waxy layer, the washed apples would spoil too quickly.
Did you know I USED to like jelly beans??

Lol.

Did you know that according to that method I have had over 250 deleted, and I know that's not true because I have never gotten in trouble... I mean, I've had the mods delete some, but there's NO WAY that many have been deleted!

Did you know that if you have a farm tractor and want to play you can drive over them a few times and the bark will come off

Did you know that my rooster was NOT amused when my daughter dressed him up?

Did you also know that our Hen saw him dressed like that, and she attacked the offending dress up clothes until they went flying off him and she then kicked them into the ground. She decided he needed saving.

​

Oh, and did you also know, that our dog was not amused by it, either.

Both; she was filling out a computerized form. I told that if she didn't know the gender of a 72 year old person with a deep voice and a beard, sitting 3 feet away, then the Red Cross didn't need my blood. I related the story to the family doc two days ago; he couldn't believe it, either.
