You Know What I Really Hate?

I really hate it when you open a bag of the Easter jelly beans to do a taste test to make sure they are the right kind of jelly beans (the ones where the red tastes like red and so on) and you put some in a small dish to munch on while you're at your computer and you're pretty sure you pulled out all the black ones because the only person you know who likes the black ones is your mom, Dame Judi, and she's not here to give them to so you just throw them out because no one in your house is a fan of the black jellybeans (which, oddly, are the only ones that taste like an actual thing, in this case, licorice, which generally you enjoy but somehow not in jelly beans so much) and you are munching away and looking for the recipe for tonight's dinner and all a sudden you bite down and somehow you snagged a black one so then you have to spit out your mouthful of jellybeans and take the time to vet them all again to make sure there aren't anymore black ones that obviously looked purple in the light.

I really, really hate that.

Well, Grish, considering it was Satan's Warehouse that called, we Costco-ites obviously had nothing to do with it. Good luck though.

Sfoof, I'll save the black ones for your husband. Enjoy your pasquetti!

So glad it's not just me twisi and punctuation is highly overrated capitalization too

One of my coworkers will eat only the black jellybeans. She also doesn't like chocolate, so I think she's off in more ways than one.

Actually, I like black jellybeans, too, but my faves are pink and white.

Not being a jelly bean fan, I can only indirectly sympathize...sort of like when I get the coconut one in a box of assorted chocolates. Ew.

You crack me up, Lorraine.
On the licorice thought, it's a sometimes and sometimes not thing with me.
Favorite jelly bean- orange.
Here's to dishes full of blackless jellybeans.

Once, my little brother was eating a fig newton and I told him that the inside of fig newtons were nothing but ground up worms and sugar.
He hated that.

Oh, and I'm totally with you on the black jelly beans.

Bad Alice, I can, if necessity warrants, eat a black jelly bean and enjoy it but it CANNOT be eaten in concert with the pink and white ones. Or purple. Fond of the purple, I am.

Syd, it is EXACTLY like that. Which could open up a whole other thread of conversation. I very much enjoy coconut in many of it's applications but I don't know what it is about the ones in the box of chocolates...just horrid. And now I've got Forrest Gump in my head.

Oh, Grish...the satisfactions that await you, humiliating your offspring with your superior bowling/golfing/batting/guitar playing skills. It was totally worth the aggrevation, wasn't it. (Go get Guitar Hero. Now).

Sling, as always, you make a very compelling, if exaggerated, case. Please note, for the record that I absolutely, positively ADORE Good 'n Plenty.

See? Complicated woman of mystery. Me, I mean.

Greeny, and I almost forgot Pernod. I very much enjoy the ocassional glass of Pernod...I think I have to say I'm center left on the general subject of licorice.

Buck, I'm astonished that your brother bothers to maintain a relationship with you. You were very terrible to him.

I think the jelly bean makers should stop putting black ones in the assortment and just make single bags full of black ones for the people who enjoy them.

Yes, I was terrible to my little brother, but my step-sister always started it. It was her fault.

I'm glad it made you happy, honey.

As long as your step-sister was properly punished, Buck.

Feel free to save the black ones for me. Those and purple are my favorites. Guess I better get a bag at the grocery today since I have a craving now.

Lol, well may get guitar hero after I get tired of Wii sports and stuff. The boxing rocks though. I also liked the golf and tennis alright...
