My mom needs to stop ruining food for me. First jell-o, now ice cream. There's nothing left to have for desert! :crying:

[link]

For years, various food companies have been using "castoreum" to flavor ice cream and other foods. The problem? Castoreum is a fancy word for a compound from the crushed anal "sacs" of beavers.

Not only is this stuff disgusting and inhumane, it's kept totally secret. Under FDA rules, companies don't need to include castoreum on the ingredients list -- they can just call it "natural flavoring".

Seriously, mother, stop showing me this shit. I didn't need to know that. :stare: Now I shall ruin ice cream for everyone else.

People use the droppings of a certain species of cat in a certain type of coffee. What's worse: actual shit or just the anus?

They actually have the cat eat the coffee beans, the digestion process make the coffee beans better I guess? And the coffee beans are sorted from the droppings.

According to Wiki its just the US and Switzerland (and they only use it in snaps). But it is wiki so it could be leaving some countries out.
