I have been enjoying the new Tropicana Fruit Squeeze drinks in the lemon flavor for a few days now. I drink mostly water, but they've been a nice addition and have very few calories, and sucralose as a sweetener. I usually like to lighten my lemonade or fruit juice with water, so these fit perfectly.<br><br>
Today I bought their tangerine flavor, and didn't like it. I decided to look at the ingredients list for some reason: it has cochineal coloring in it. Because I'm familiar with colchicine (a med for people with gout) I immediately knew the root of that word. Cochineal coloring is made from insects. Gah! <img alt="razz.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/razz.gif">uke: They put insects in my drink. Talk about bug juice! And most people won't even know they're drinking insects, b/c of the fancy name they gave the coloring. Vegetarians beware!
