Indigestion

I think I may have discovered a new cause of indigestion in people.

The other night, as I was preparing my supper (a cheeseburger and some 'waffle' fries), I noticed that one of the fries was different than the others. That was when I realized that one cause of indigestion might be Food with an Attitude:

Yum, yum!

I've just recently finished one of my (very!) rare forays into McDonalds for a meal.

This time, I elected to go with the Chicken Select option with Honey Mustard sauce. As I was eating, I got to reading the label on one of the sauce packets (keep in mind that items are listed in order of percentage of content):

• water
• sugar
• dijon mustard (distilled vinegar, water, mustard seed, salt, white wine, citric acid, tartaric acid, spices)
• soybean oil
• honey
• corn syrup solids (um... isn't 'solids' kind of contrary to the idea of 'syrup'?)
  
• distilled vinegar
• modified food starch (modified from what to what?)
  
• egg yolks
• xanthan gum
• salt
• mustard flour
• titanium dioxide (wtf?)
  
• sodium benzoate as a preservative (great - the sauce will probably last longer than I do)
  
• propylene glycol alginate (don't know what it is, but it sure sounds appetizing, don't it?)
  
• spices (apparently I don't need to know which ones)
  
• tumeric
• artificial color (FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Yellow #6)
• contains egg ingredients (I wasn't sure about that 'egg yolks' part, until they added this)
  

I'm not sure if that is supposed to be food, or a list of contents for a chemistry set...
