Tic Tacs and Eclipse Gum

[oddlefty]

I think I lost a little love for those 1 calorie breath mints today.

If you look at the Nutrition Facts on Tic Tacs and Eclipse gum, you will see as one of the last ingredients "Carnauba Wax".

This Carnauba wax is the main source of candles and surfboard wax, is also used for automobile wax, shoe polish, and furniture polish and buffering.

Does this at all make you want to eat less Tic Tacs, Eclipse gum, candy corn, or Altoids?

Yeh, I know. But using it as a preservative and outside coating still makes me sad for my Tic tacs.

i heard spinach contains a lot of iron. iron, that's what ... is made of.

do you get my point? doesn't have to be bad at all

 

[wh@t]

i have chronic anemia, my blood doesnt retain alot of iron. stop making fun of me!

 

[oddlefty]

Iron is a good thing to have in your blood though.. the main ingredient of surfboard wax isn't.

Ah I eat orange tic tacs by the carton

Maybe you should eat more wax.

Then you would run faster. You know, less friction and all...

 

[Jake...]

[steezeaholic.]

Those orange tic tacs, I down those like nobody's business.

 

[freezed]

lots of fruits naturally contain wax. it's not gonna hurt you. just because something is also an ingredient in shoe polish does not mean that you are eating shoe polish when you eat that ingredient. that would be really silly logic.

haha, there's that one Brita commercial where they say that your tap water and your toilet water comes from the same place, as if it's a bad thing, and i'm sitting there thinking "well what the fuck? that doesn't mean somebody took a shit in my toilet water, it means i shit in the same water i drink. fuck you Brita."

 

[Peter.]

believe me, if it was enough to be harmful, we'd have heard about it by now
