Oh, Duck Me

Moi, being a genius back in 2007:

enuff with the 72 packets of duck sauce. ever see this stuff and think good lord....what the fuck are we doing to these poor ducks??! 

All these years later, we have the answer to wtf IS duck sauce:

Most of the slim plastic packets of duck sauce that you'll get with a takeout order are primarily made of water, sugar and cornstarch. Those are usually the first three ingredients — but then things get interesting. Apricot is the ingredient that gives the sauce its fruity sweetness and at least some of the orange coloring (the rest is made up by artificial caramel coloring and, frequently, Yellow Dye No. 6, which is a "sunset yellow").

Sounds gross, I'd rather just eat a duck.
