Bugs, butt, dog vagina pheremones and other weird food additives you've probably eaten today...

People are willing to eat all kinds of weird stuff, but often we're eating all kinds of weird stuff when we think we're eating something totally normal. Like gum. Or Jell-O. But hey, if it tastes delicious, what's the harm in a little secretion from a pig's anus? Here are 10 very weird things manufacturers put in very normal-seeming food. Now pass the anus candy.

Beaver Butt-Juice: Sodas
Yes, it's pretty effin' weird that one of the things that makes artificial raspberry flavoring in sodas and candy taste raspberry-y is castoreum, something that is exuded from a beaver's anal glands. What's even weirder is that this discovery was the result of somebody venturing to taste a beaver's anal gland secretions.

Crushed Beetles: Tons of Red Food Products
One of the most commonly used ingredients in red food coloring is flakes of mashed-up beetles, and not the kind of mashed-up Beatles Danger Mouse did when he combined The White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album. Still, we're willing to bet that Ringo loves him some red velvet cake.

Dog Vagina Pheremones: Beer and Wine
 Ever wonder why Spuds McKenzie loved beer so much? Beer and wine often contain a preservative called methylparaben, which, in addition to keeping booze fresh, is also a pheromone found in dog's vaginas. Does that make us all Eskimo brothers with Spuds? Full story...
