We're sorry in advance if we've just ruined your appetite.
But, the rumors are true: There might be small amounts of beaver butt goo in some of our favorite gummy candies, ice creams, sodas and baked goods. Don't worry though, it's safe.
For the past 80 years, we've been using the "brown slime" emitted from beavers as a way to add vanilla, strawberry and raspberry flavors to some of our favorite foods.
How exactly does this work? Beavers emit the chemical compound castoreum from their castor sacs. The sacs are located under the animal's tail and are secreted when they seek to communicate or mark their territory.

When ever I hear one of these gross out facts, my question is “Who was the brave soul who first thought it was a good idea to try it. . . and said ‘Oh, my, that’s really good!’”

“Look at what just came out of that bird’s butt. I bet it tastes good!” That's why you need to counteract food from a bird's butt with some natural bug barf.

Indeed. We keep a large jar of bug barf around all the time. It typically lasts a few weeks.
