What?!?! I love the little candy hearts! Although my favorite ones are the SweetTart kind. The blue ones are my favorite. I wish they’d put the orange ones in the hearts though, just like any regular package of them.
TUMS is the #1 selling antacid brand in Canada. TUMS antacids have been trusted by millions for more than eight decades. Since its introduction in 1930, consumers have relied on the same active ingredient in TUMS antacid — calcium carbonate — for effective heartburn relief.Tums Ingredient breakdown:
Active ingredient:Calcium carbonate: one tablet of tums has 1,000mg. Calcium carbonate, which is essentially chalk, a tasteless, odorless powder that occurs naturally in limestone, marble and coral. It is an additive that is used as a white food dye, to reduce acidity in wine, as a neutralizer for ice cream, cream syrups, confections, and baking powder, and also used as a firming agent.
From Wiki….Chalk ( /ˈtʃɔːk/) is a soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is an ionic salt called calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores.

One time when I was younger my brothers told me a chalk egg is chocolate, so I licked it. It didn’t taste good.

Don’t shoot the messenger but, according to Wikipedia, it was once plankton poop.
