Here are some sneaky products that contain gelatin that you should watch out for:
Jell-O (obviously)
Starburst
Skittles
some yogurts
Gummi Bears
Frosted Mini Wheats
Pop Tarts
Altoids
Some skin and hair care products also contain gelatin. Be sure to read the labels on Noxzema and Neutrogena products.

The fact that they contain some sort of animal product makes them all the more appealing to me.

are these made from the hoofs of the pigs you eat or are their separate pigs being raised for this?

Actually, many skincare products contain lanolin, a by product made from sheep fat, I believe. But there may be pig pieces in there too.
I'm going to have to start offering veggie Jello shots next time.

one of our transsexual advertisers goes by Skittles. She was just here. Very excited about her new ad. Jumping around and spilling out of her shirt a bit. Puts this thread in a new perspective for me.

all our TS advertisers are pre-ops. And they're advertising their time and companionship, of course.

Lanolin is a waxy substance exuded by sheep that covers their fur, which helps them shed water. It is gathered when they are shorn, by boiling the shorn wool. I learned this when I did a book report in elementary school, and luckily I still remember it.

wikipedia.org, anyone?
Lanolin, also called Adeps Lanae, wool wax, wool fat, or wool grease, a greasy yellow substance from wool-bearing animals, acts as a skin ointment, water-proofing wax, and raw material (such as in shoe polish). Lanolin is "wool fat" or grease, chemically akin to wax, which is secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals, such as sheep. These glands are associated with hair follicles. Lanolin's ability to act as a waterproofing wax aids sheep in shedding water from their coats. Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin, and the extraction can be performed by squeezing the wool between rollers. Most or all the lanolin is removed from wool when it is processed into textiles, eg yarn or felt. The Fanning Corporation is the only lanolin producer with a refinery located in the United States.

Of course! They grow some rabbits for their fur (angora) and others for those tiny little teeth (tiny size chicklets).

If they're going to put pig things in them anyway, the least they could do is make bacon flavored Skittles.

So does this mean they should change their slogan to
"taste the rainbow of hoove flavor" ?
I grew up in Stoneham down the street from the Jello factory in Woburn. Some nights when the wind blew it would smell like rotting animals (no joke - and probably was - Boiling toiling piggy) Other nights it would smell like raspberry or strawberry - oooooh Childhood memories

i am not a vegetarian but i would think that there would be more demand to label such goods as containing animal byproducts

Skittles are processed to the point that they're not even food. Any animal byproducts are more like a polymer by the time you eat it. It's like not driving because gas has dinosaurs in it.

Although, I'm not sure skittles has any animal in it. I don't want to buy them just to look at the ingredients though, they are bad news.
