From Wikipedia, "Carmine is used in the manufacture of artificial flowers, paints, rouge, cosmetics, food additives, and crimson ink."

It also consists of mostly scale bugs, such as the cochineal bug. They are first smashed, or squished, then they are dried, and then are boiled. The reason for boiling it, is because it produces a red color, and is used in food, such as red Gatorade.
