The Scary Truth Behind Halloween Candy

Candy Corn contains Blue No. 1, a synthetic dye used in soaps, shampoos and cosmetics -- including Listerine; Yellow No. 5, which is another dye commonly found in fortune cookies, DayQuil, and Swiss Rolls; and carnauba wax, which produces that glossy finish in car wax, shoe and furniture polish. Ironically, it's the same coating used in dental floss.
