    		Note that this is not new, nor is it unique to Starbucks. If we have eaten or worn anything red, bugs may well have been involved.

    "Starbucks has declared that it will no longer use cochineal extract, an insect-derived red coloring, in its wares. If anyone is imagining that the use of this dye is rare or new, they're mistaken." http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-cochineal-starbucks-20120420,0,5639702.story

    Things too strange for you? Well then, welcome to my crusade to remove a little strangeness from this very strange world. Strangely, though, it has caused some confusion. You may have to straighten up after my "de-strangifying" efforts.
