Sure. It’s called carmine or cochineal and it’s made from little red bugs from South America. They use it to color your strawberry yogurt pink, for instance. You think the pink comes from strawberries, but real strawberry yogurt isn’t that pink, because the strawberries’ color isn’t concentrated enough. But since we’re so used to unnaturally bright food, they mix South American bug juice into it to make it pink.

Also pink sodas, grapefruit juice and so forth.
