    The outer layer chips off like paint and falls to earth where they are collected into bags. This explains why they are yellow and orange.

    Hope this helps

    Not our sun, but other than the hydrogen (which is only a small portion by weight), they come from suns in general.

    Not anymore. They used to be but a while ago they moved operations to save money on manufacturing. Interestingly, they now use byproducts from the harvest of Sunny D. While not quite as tasty as the original recipe, this new way of making them not only is more cost effective, it reduses waste and pollution from other products such as Sunkist and Starbursts. So these products arent just good for the body, they’re good for the Sol too.
