Ever wondered what gives your favorite fruit snacks that glossy look? Turns out, it's the same kind of wax used on cars! Don't worry, it's totally safe to eat. This natural wax, called carnauba, comes from palm leaves and is also found in makeup and even dental floss.
Who knew your snacks had so much in common with your car?
