Sour Jelly Bellys

Today I celebrated the crucifixion of Jesus by eating a bag of sour Jelly Bellys and doing homework. The Jelly Bellys were tasty and both sweet and sour as advertised, although I think an entire bag was probably about 3/4 of a bag too many. I can't believe how much better they were than Sour Skittles.

Wow, Laurie. You're pretty good at updating our Twitter. It's already updated. I'm impressed.

Popcorn is my favorite flavour, followed by the banana-spotted thingies. I can only eat a couple, though.

Ever had those weird Harry Potter jellybeans? The dirt flavoured one actually tastes like dirt, and the mould flavoured one actually tastes like mould. No shit.

My god, why would you want to eat a mold flavored jelly bean? Or a popcorn for that matter. (That's right, you can put popcorn jelly bellys on your list of things I don't like, John.)

Oh also, Andrew...you can update it too! I couldn't find your email when I sent it, but John or Glenn can email you the password.

Did you eat the bag of jelly bellys one at a time or did you wolf them down by the handful?

Banana Runts.

1) I concur with John about popcorn flavor. It's the best, plus everybody hates it so more for me.

2) I just had a box of Runts at work. Did you know they added two disgusting new flavors - mango and pineapple?

laurie said...

Banana runts...YES PLEASE.

John said...

I could eat a whole box of just banana runts interspersed with, like, 1 or 2 of the lime and strawberry ones. When I was a kid, I used to wedge 2 banana runts between my upper lip and teeth like vampire fangs and say, "I vant to suck your blood!"

laurie said...

And by "when I was a kid" you mean "last week," right?

Banana Runts = Ick.
Popcorn Jelly Bellies = Yum, but not all by themselves. I saw that you can buy the popcorn Jelly Bellies by the bag in some shops.

I used Sour Jelly Bellies to propose to my wife. I spelled "Will You Marry Me?" on the table with them. Word to the wise: Don't wear shoes around the table if you're trying to do this. They don't like to stay put. At one point, it spelled "Wod Yeo Midly Mir?"

DCP said...

Well, hate to break it to you John, but the mango and pineapple flavors replaced lime and lemon.

John said...

I'm too old for candy these days anyway.

@anon: I ate them one at a time while working on a paper.
