At least it's natural?
Screenshot of Wikipedia article: Resinous glaze is an alcohol-based solution of various types of food-grade shellac. The shellac is derived from the raw material sticklac, which is a resin scraped from the branches of trees left from when the small insect, Kerria lacca (also known as Laccifer lacca), creates a hard, waterproof cocoon." When used in food and confections, it is also known as confectioner's glaze, pure food glaze, natural glaze, or confectioner's resin.

I'd go to law school right now if someone promised me I'd get to do this when I'm done
A screenshot of a text-only tweet by @therealdavearn1, which says I got to do it today. A lawyer's dream. I asked a falsely pious person who testified that the 10 commandments were the most important thing in his life to simply "Name them" He was unable.
