honest labeling

Thought process. Oh there's a new chip in the vending machine, flavored "The Crab Chip" sounds interesting.. I like crab, I'm gona give it a go. Well, it didn't lie.. if you season you have ever done a crab boil with Chesapeake Bay Crab seasoning you know what I'm talking about and you get exactly that.. a mouthful of crab boil.  Which is not terrible, if you like that kind of thing.  

I'm unsure how I feel so far, but I'm thinking I'll give it another go when my sodium levels have normalized again.

100% my ass

When I think refreshing beverage first on the list in my mind is grinding up bugs for that pretty red color and then mixing it with some juice, yum..  Lucky me that is exactly what carmine is, some sort of reddish beetle that gets ground up and put in our food to make it look more appealing.. The irony is that most people who consume things with carmine in it would probably gag at the thought of eating a beetle.  I'm of the school of thought that says I'd be ok with eating a beetle if I knew I were eating a beetle but not as ok with the idea of them being added in willy-nilly as a coloring agent. I suppose it's maybe better than getting the coloring from petroleum products... My real complaint is that all that beetle squashing and the end product doesn't even taste like grapefruit juice.. Which may make some people gag.. but I really like the taste of grapefruit juice it's not too sweet like most juices.  But unfortunately Tropicana 100% juice tastes more like apple juice with a squish of something tart and a bunch of ground up beetles.  

 
my hands are so big and my feet are so tiny
100% my ass, if Tropicana were like Pinocchio somebodies nose would be awfully big
