I want to talk about one of my favorite (and least favorite) candies: jelly belly's. I say least favorite as well because of the obvious buttered popcorn, caramel corn, cinnamon, etc. It's the worst when you pop a handful of jellys expecting dank fruity flavors and you get one of these. Take for example the combo I just ate: tutti-frutti, rasberry, and licorice. Now, in my defense, I thought the licorice was grape jelly (which would have been a fine combo). Licorice is just one of those flavors that you throw away if you're alone, and trick your friend into catching in their mouth if you aren't. Since all my housemates just like the fruit flavors, the end of a jelly belly box is always full of cappuccino, chocolate pudding, peanut butter, toasted marshmallow and the likes. Usually people in my house just quit eating them all together at that point; we just wait for our guests to finish them until we can get a new box.
I could never understand my dad. He used to just charge the jelly beans; he'd take a handful and plop them all in his mouth at once. I've never tried it, but I imagine it would be like when you mix a bunch of paint colors and it just turns brown, except that it's in your mouth and tastes like shit. Now that I'm thinking about it though, he also liked licorice, so I guess it makes sense.
