Kiara: "You brought the good sh!t?" Mumei: **Pulls out rice crispy**

[@stuffz1757]

Mumei is referring to a type of red dye made from crushed up beetles. Red #4, or otherwise known as Carmine, or cochineal. It's not banned across the board in the US, at least I don't think, but I do think it's banned in certain parts. Sour patch kids do not have it, rather they have dyes like Red #40, and Yellow #6 and #5, and Blue 1, these are likely banned outside of the US because they're basically made from petroleum and can possibly be carcinogenic.

[@beemoh]

Beetle-based cochineal also isn't vegetarian-friendly, so it's more likely that in lots of places it's just fallen out of favour rather than been formally 'banned'.

[@uruxdrone]

@@beemohsome vegan do not consider food made with insect as « animals », but it really depend on who you ask and their belief It’s called entomophagy

[@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives]

It's mostly the gelatin. We used to use horse bones in our gelatin in the 40's, and becuase we medicate and use steroids on our horses, it contaminated the bone marrow and caused a ban on American gelatin products. We stopped doing it in the 90's and no trace has been found in any gelatin since 2007. The ban still remains though, because it reduces competition.

[@GeronKizan]

And now reine is addicted to the sour patch kids thanks to Mooms. (The strawberry ones are best)

[@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives]

No worries, they're only banned because they are a gelatin product. Amarican gelatin used to be made with horse bones and the marrow was contaminated because we heavily medicate our horses. We stopped using horse bones in the 90's and they have been safe since 2007. So the only reason some places still have the ban is because they're afraid of the competition. Which is understandable, sour patch gummies are great.

[@Riktasi]

@@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives Sour patch kids don't contain gelatin. They're made of modified corn starch (basically mix corn starch with water and boil it). Rubbery gummies like gummy bears/worms are the ones that contain gelatin. Chewy candies like sour patch kids and fruit slices use modified food starch.

The reason suprise eggs were banned in the US is because they violate a policy about not putting not edible things inside food. It sounds alot less ridiculous when you know this. Also they did make a different version for the US market.

[@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves]

yeah that's why they mentioned Kinder Joy. They're somehow different from the regular Kinder eggs Kiara and other europeans like her see on a daily basis. I genuinely don't know what the difference between a Joy and a regular Kinder egg is...

[@AmeVIRUS_]

@@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves kinder joy are pots shaped like eggs containing mini ferrero rochers and a chocolate flavoured cream on one half, with a toy separated into the other half, kinder surprise (also known as kinder eggs) are actual mini easter eggs made of swiss style chocolate, which contain the toy inside the hollow shell

[@Matekothesmall]

@@AmeVIRUS_ But the toy is in another shell... so its chocolate shell, then platic shell and only then comes the toy. Oh, and of course the wrapper.

[@1tylerq127]

It's because some kid tried to eat the egg whole and nearly choked on the toy.

[@1tylerq127]

​@Matekothesmall that's the American safe Kinder Joy version, normal kinder eggs have the shell inside the chocolate egg.

[@demonkingsparda]

If Kiara thinks that's bad, wait till she finds out how coca cola got it's name

[@thegreatbeavers]

show Kiara Hersey's Chocolate and also reveal that it's made with science.. Also explains why it does taste like vomit for some reason..

[@IRMentat]

@@thegreatbeaverssugar vs dairy. There’s bad chocolate in Europe as well (much of the fancy stuff can be super overrated due to their sugary content/texture or fillings) but compare cadburys or Lindt (super common U.K. brands) with hersheys and it’s the difference between a soft bite of heaven and a brick of grainy sugar laden brown stuff. The climate and storage expectations of both are vastly different from each other tho.

[@NJAR31298]

@@IRMentatI think the big flavor difference has something to do with the production process. Like hershey’s involves butyric acid, which is why some associate the taste with vomit

[@drpibisback7680]

​@@NJAR31298Correct. Butyric Acid is used to simulate the process of aging the cocoa beans, which takes longer and is much more expensive than breaking them down with acid, but it adds a noticeable tang to the flavor. Personally, as someone who grew up eating Hershey's chocolate I find it weird when other varieties of chocolate _don't_ taste like that.

[@deathgnomes]

I mean I believe Coca-Cola is still made with Coca leaf byproduct. But that doesn't mean it's toxic or bad, the worst part of any Soda is the corn syrup and sugar.

[@sleepyarcheremiya955]

Such a Mumei thing to do lmao.

[@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives]

Crushed bugs, flowers, gelatine. The gelatin is the main thing and why they are band. Becuase in the 40's we used to use horse hoofes and bones as a basic ingredient in gelatin snacks. But becuase we have horse racing in america and we use horses mostly for labor, we have no problems with giving them steroids and medication to make them stronger and heal faster. But becuase those chemicals were also found in our gelatin, we had to stop. In the 90's we stopped making gelatin with horse bones, but becuase we were exporting them still, a bunch of countries banned any food that used American gelatin. All horse based gelatine hasn't been seen in any gelatin products since 2007 however. It's been safe to distribute. But many countries overseas still keep the ban in place, MOSTLY to reduce competition.

[@shingofan]

I figured the bans still being in the books was because of laziness

[@AidanS99]

Europe- Bans American food dyes that may give kids ADHD. America- Bans European candy because it has plastic toys in it and that’s considered a choking hazard. I think both arguments are fair.

There are lots and lots of different types of common foods or food items that are legal in one country and not another for reasons silly to serious and they're not always clear so don't read a whole lot into it. For example currants are almost non existant in the US as growing them was until recently illegal in the US due to a fungal blight that tended to be on currants that would kill a particular species of tree that was important to logging in the USA. As such you really don't see as many currant or currant flavored items in the US as you do in Europe.

Theirs some food from the British Isles that are banned because it’s considered a health hazard for being basically raw food. Things like Haggis, Blood Pudding and Ire Bru which is a drink banned in the US because the food coloring they use is illegal in the US.

[@thonker]

Interesting note: in some Spanish speaking countries there is the word "Buhonero(male)/Buhonera(female)" who were people who sale trinkets between towns.

when it comes to a LOT of food/snacks/candy.

Tho red 40 is less so linked with cancer, and more linked with skinn allergy development and adhd. you also have the old general use blue food colouring die, that was so strongly linked with cancer development, that is is close to not found anywhere, other than in the us^^

1:08 Because Politicians need campaign money for election. Companies and their owners have the most. So the Politicians tend to do whatever the Companies say. Or the Companies just cut out the middle man and have their CEO's and minions run for office themselves, often winning in a landslide simply because they had plenty of money to advertise themselves. Meaning they can do things like write up new laws that benefit themselves and break any of the smaller companies. It's one of the reasons big companies love high taxes, it eliminates their smaller competitors that they absorb along with any innovations or inventions they have control of and get a de-facto monopoly, allowing them to eat the higher taxes like it's nothing, whether or not they actually pay them. Thats why possibly toxic dyes are used in US foods, because the companies want to use cheaper more colorful stuff for higher profits while also keeping their buddies in the medical industry flushed with customers. Thankfully, the situation with a certain Beer company and Hollywood has revealed their power isn't as absolute as it seems.
