    Default gatorade, skittles, and tootsie rolls

    so as most of you dont know, gatorade, skittles, and tootsie rolls have recently become kosher.
    and i have tried all of them and have passed the verdict:
    gatorade is pretty good, like a sweeter powerade.
    skittles is ok, but not great. just like chewy M&Ms.
    tootsie rolls were "meh." all the hype over nothing.

    Hey, I like tootsie rolls! Skittles are better, though. Can't stand gatorade. Are sweettarts kosher?

    Skittles are freakin awesome. Tootsie rolls even better; not my fault you are too blind to realize this.

    Gatorade is great for mixing with wodka, if the drinking behavior of my jewish buddies is something to go on wodka is kosher as well. But then again they eat more bacon then I would ever want to.

    How does that work, have they changed the ingredients to remove certain animal produce?

    uh, no.
    kosher foods cant contain products from non-kosher animals, like bugs, or pigs or such animals.
    many candies used to, or still have colorings that are made from bugs, which is why they arent kosher.
    for example, red M&Ms used to use bettle juice for the red coloring. when they became kosher, they stopped using the bettle for its color.

    lol i knew that but i thought the final step was a blessing from an actual rabbi, like a seal of approval.

    never mind, im not the jew here.

    That's segregation and it's wrong. I demand equal rights for skittles of all colors!

    I can't find a link to confirm this.... got one?

    sure.
    here, look at the section "1970s and 1980s"
    the red coloring was made of Cochineal, which is made from bugs.
    Carmine may be prepared from cochineal, by boiling dried insects in water to extract the carminic acid and then treating the clear solution with alum, cream of tartar, stannous chloride, or potassium hydrogen oxalate; the coloring and animal matters present in the liquid are thus precipitated.

    Yeah, I read about this before numerous times. Cochineal were used by Aztecs. Nowadays, the foodstuffs companies will do anything to have 'all natural' on their product. Bollox. As if there is any difference between carminic acid from the lab and carminic acid from the bug. But the green nuts are too chemophobic to realise that that everything is a chemical, whether good or bad. For that matter, my father thinks that way too, but his understanding of health science is appalling. Which means that he is normal, as per the societal average.

    You do not want to know how many hundreds of billions, any, probably trillions of dollars are wasted painstakingly exacting all sorts of chemical compounds that could be synthesised in a jiffy for a tenth, hundredth, or even one/one-thousands of the cost of the 'natural' extraction process. At the same time, of course, the more complex compounds are in fact easier to extract from biological entities, but that is a whole different story, as are the compounds too complex to be synthesised at all.
