picked up a box of "Sno-Caps" as I havent seen them around since my days of working in the movie theater. Anyways....while the box was upside down....I glanced at the ingredients which consisted of:

Semi-sweet chocolate
Sugar
Cornstarch

AND

Carnauba wax!


Wtf. Learn something new everyday. So next time you are waxing your car...take a chunk for yourself




* I am absolved from any liability if any idiot, incuding Marbels, really attempts to ingest carnauba wax due to the direct or indirect result of this post.

 

 

Don't mix it sillca!

 

OMG you have entirely too much time!

 

Yes, he is lucky.

 

Carnuba wax is a product from a plant.

 

Holy ****... your eating plants!

 

Carnuba wax is in a lot of stuff to eat. It likely helps keeps the product a solid at room temperature.

 

Thanks Mr. Wizard!

 

I have a bottle of Zymol you could wash that down with...

 

The carnuba wax is a solid at room temperature and is much better than eating hydrogenated oils, which do the same thing but are the source of trans-fatty acids, which are thought to be bad for you.

 

Thanks, Richard Simmons!

 

And since it's listed last, there's not much of it in there anyway. Ingredients are usually listed in order of % content. Most -> Least.

He should be more worried about the 48 grams of sugar he just ate.

 

No...I'm really not. I'm still hung on the wax thing!

 

It's great isnt it?
