While you enjoying your "StarBugs" with that red lipstick...did you know that the red food coloring is made out of a bug called Cochineal even that red lipstick you have on.
Cochineal: its an insect which natural dye called Caramine is extracted from.

How the red coloring is made
This bug is found on a plant called cacti or Cactus collected and dried. Its body is made out of carminic acid which mixed with calcium/aluminium salts to end up with the coloring dye.
Haha as if someone would give up kissing just for bugs, in some countries they're a delicacy :) thanks for sharing, interesting and weird news of the day for me.
