However, it can also be used to enhance strawberry and raspberry flavors in foods. Now, I might be jumping the gun here, but there may be a connection between two of the Pixy Stix flavors and a natural animal source called “Castoreum”.Ĭastoreum is essentially a liquid obtained from beavers in order to produce vanilla flavorings.

He pours a little in and says what do you think? Give it about five seconds and you feel like a Pixy has just slapped you in the face with Pixy Dust. So he tears open the top tells us to open our mouths. He tells me has gotten the infamous Pixy Stick. So I’m out running around with my friends and one of them gets what looks like a stick of power.
