It is basically found in any sticky candies and foods.

Glycerin(e) (spelt with and "e" at the end occasionally. And it can either be animals or vege fat, so you'll have to call the manufacturer to find out.):

Toothpaste (Colgate is good; NOT crest)

some mouthwashes

A lot of soaps

Some lotions, Oh yea, gelatin can be in some lotions too.

Nerds

Red Hots

Good luck, and always read the ingredients =]
