Varmints, Vermin, Vermints

Can you think of a more unfortunate name for an all natural breath mint from the great state of Vermont? Given that the federal government has a limit to the number of insect parts that can be found in candy. Or so I've heard. Given that confectioners glaze can actually be made from insects —since food grade shellac comes from the the lac insect there's no question that insects have been involved in the making of a lot of candy. For that matter, food grade shellac is applied to apples after they've been washed of pesticides, which also removes the natural waxy protection off the apple skin. So shellac is applied to protect the skin and give some shine. Gives new meaning to Gummi worms, eh?
