From what I had heard, they are used in candles (obviously), on some fruits like apples to make them shiney, and also as a coating for some bubblegums.

Waxes have been used on fruits and vegetables since the 1920s. They are all made from natural ingredients, and are certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be safe to eat. They come from natural sources including carnauba wax, from the leaves of a Brazilian palm; candellia wax, derived from reed-like desert plants of the genus Euphorbia; and food-grade shellac, which comes from a secretion of the lac bug found in India and Pakistan. These waxes are also approved for use as food additives for candy and pastries. (Now you know why your chocolate bars melt in your mouth but not in your hand…)\n   The commercial waxes do not easily wash off because they adhere to any natural wax remaining on the fruit after cleaning. Waxed produce can be scrubbed with a vegetable brush briefly in lukewarm water and rinsed before eating to remove wax and surface dirt. (Using detergents on porous foods like apples is not recommended!)

Let's see if I can handle this...candles are (mostly) made from petroleum-based materials that are prized for their ability to easily change from solid to liquid by the application of heat.  When solid, the molecular bonds of the material are so dense that they let little or no light pass between them, thus the "milky" appearance of the wax.  When heated, the molecular bonds of the material are so broken apart that they easily allow light to pass through and so appear "transparent."

This is called 'candling' and is done using a cone shaped candle and a protective shield. \nThere are special candles, not just any will work.\nThe candle is placed in the ear with a shield, or pan, between candle and ear.  It burns for about 10 minutes and is supposed to draw toxins and extra wax out.

Although poisonous, the berries on the mistletoe, when squeezed ooze a whitish substance similar looking to semen. \nKissing under the mistletoe was in hopes of good fertility for a couple.\nWhy at Xmas time, I don't know.

I'd say that's as good an excuse as you are going to get to let your mom "test taste" your candy theories. just kidding. let's see, pros of candy: it's delicious, it can make you happier, cons of candy: eat to much of it and you get sick, overweight. and if you eat it continually for long periods of time there's a chance of getting long term illnesses. that about covers it

My parents used to do dollar store things for me, crayons for the bathtub, small puzzles, coloring books, etc that aren't that expensive.  Lottery tickets were good too (although they would have to cash them in for me, but I loved scratching them off!)Now I get things like shampoo, soap, things I need!Don't make the mistake of allowing them to have a giant stocking either! It will be easier to fill.They also used to decorate the tree with sticks of bubble gum and candy as an extra bonus!

Hi ginaballerina,\nEar Candles removes excess ear wax and toxins. Detoxify sinus and lymph system. It's relaxing and soothing. Ear candles are made from unbleached cotton strips and beeswax. You can find these at health food stores. Good Luck: Blueladybug

Probably for soothing burns from skin exposure.  Refer to the MSDS or call the supplier.

1.  There are some additives used in cake mixxes that make a better product. I do not think that color should be added to things. Some people are allergic to the colors. (my husband and my dog) There are natural colors that can be used. Beet juice for instance for red.There are natural flavorings that can be used. \n2. Some additives are preservatives and they do make food last longer and prevent food poisoning. There has been research into ADD and ADHD being affected by food additives, particularly colors. \n3. Some people are allergic to MSG ised to enhance flavor. (me) it is the cause of "Chinese Restaurant" headache\n4. On the whole they are not potentially harmful, but I think we could use far fewer.We could stick to natural ones.

No it is a gimmick to get people to buy the gum. What they are selling is the sensation as no real tempeture change will take place.

I would guess that it is because it was not properly commercialized. Don't worry I will explain. It doesn't cost much to celebrate. When I was a kid we would get some dixie cups and pipecleaners and make those into basket. We would then put a few candies and flowers in there and take it to our friends and neighbors house. Set it by their front door then run away. It's way too cheap nobody profits. So it was not promoted and was forgotten about.

Yes, I tried them and found that there was little effect , if any, other than it burned the snot out of my lips!\n\nWhat has worked is Colgate Whitening toothpaste w/oxygen bubbles.  It's lifted the discoloration from my teeth (smoke and drink coffee) to a very apparent white.  Give it a go, for the two bucks it's sure worth the try.\n\n(I also use SonicCare tooth brush and gargle for about five minutes each morning w/a strong antiseptic mouthwash).

To be used after cleansing and before moisturizing. It really helped cut down on breakouts for me.

they are used to draw the moisture out of the air and keep things dry.\n\nthey tell people not to eat it because they don't want to get sued by stupid people.
