Beetle juice?

I'm well aware of cochineal being used in everything from food to cosmetics. Doesn't perturb me in the least. Its been used for centuries.

The only reason its getting any coverage is because its made from an insect. If it were just an allergy to Red Dye #5, there would not be nearly so much fuss.

Beetle juice?

I used to drink an apéritif until I found out that its rich red color came from ground up bugs. It may be "natural" but I take a pass on it now.
