they have the orange ones in our staff canteen right now - so they do still exist. Frustrating as I can eat them right up until the last ingredient, shellac, which is what they use to make the outsides shiny - doesn't affect the taste at all. But it makes them not vegan. Grr.

I thought shellac was a synthetic, a type of plastic?

no, alas, it is made from the secretions of insects.

Which insects? What secretions? Actually, don't worry - I'll google it!

You kept the fact you like books a big secret.

I guess it depends on what moves you but with a book I can be focused on that but with music I have to be doing something else (unless its live music).
