Likewise, people ask, are jelly beans made out of bug poop?
The disgusting fact is that shellac, used on jellybeans, is made from the excrement of beetles. In otherwords, beetle dung, or bug poop! The female lac bug,Kerria lacca, found in the forests of India and Thailand, secretesexcrement (poop), which forms a tunnel-like tube on thebranches of trees.
