    I’ve heard about the mushroom ketchup on the Townsends channel on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29u_FejNuks

    With just bananas? I would have thought it would be with all nuts and fruits.

    I think the red dye thing is also true for lipstick.

    So that’s why that DNA testing company said I was the 5th cousin, 10 times removed from the second banana. When I look in the mirror, I can see a faint resemblance. :)

    In 2012, customers were upset when they found out that a big coffee chain used that red dye in their drinks. That dye has been used in many other food products for years.

    The broad definition of ketchup is any spiced sauce. That’s why the bottle says Tomato Ketchup.

    Originally the term “Ketchup” referred to any table sauce, and in the far east a ketchup made of bananas is common

    Vegans only eat products that are labelled suitable for vegans.

    Smarties had to withdraw their red Smarties when it was discovered that the Jewish and Muslim consumers were prohibited from eating them.

    I remember several years ago, there was a news story about red food coloring coming from insects. Vegetarians and vegans were upset, because they believed the source of the red was not from animals. They felt the products had been improperly labeled; they had been, in effect, lied to. Apparently, the suppliers mistakenly believed the product qualified as non-animal sourced.

    Ketchup was originally used to cover the putrid taste of spoiled meat.

    No need for a funeral for them just because we share half our DNA with them. Past their prime Bananas are great for Banana bread.

    I might share my DNA with a banana, but I don’t share my banana with anybody.

    Does this mean that when we eat bananas, we’re cannibals? But I really don’t eat them. Unless it’s banana bread or banana pancakes made with super-ripe bananas that don’t have banana chunks in them. Otherwise, I only like banana-flavored stuff.
