I knew bout the watermelon but only because someone i work with used to live there.

There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.

Glad I don't drink coffee

I'm not so sure it's crushed marble, either. It's not sweet, so probably corn starch to keep the gum from sticking together.

crushed marble = calcium carbonate and they sweeten it.
