Jelly Bellies....the devil's food

[Grizzly]

Any of you guys like these things? I love them, but there's something soooo wrong with them. I'm pretty sure they're the devil's food. I mean, how can a little lump of sugar taste just like a piece of popcorn? That's just not right. Something supernatural has his hand in the making of them.

You like that dam popcorn one? YUCK! THat one tastes like ass...I like all the others though...

[Grizzly]

The popcorn is my favorite! I also want to know how the hell they got them to taste just like coffee and blueberries. The Devil is in them!

I love the buttered popcorn, and the carmel corn, too! yum yum!

Grizz, what kind of sugar do they use to make those? If its corn syrup or fructose, then its not the best refeed food.

[Grizzly]

Uh-oh. I don't know what kind of sugar they use, actually, because I threw the package out and I have taken out that garbage bag already. Let's look at what else I have.

Swedish fish- got corn syrup

Red Vines- got corn syrup

I also ate a bag of chocolate twizzlers, but that one is in that particular garbage, too, but I assume they're alright since you eat twizzlers on your refeed.

What kind of sugar do I want, then? Regular sugar? Does anyone even use that shit anymore? How about sherbert? I would imagine that would fit the low fat, high carb bill.

WTF is a "Jelly Belly?" Is that a Northern candy or something?

Your friend,

Mark

P.S. Any why does something with sugar taste like popcorn? Why not just eat popcorn?

[Grizzly]

Are you fucking kidding? You don't know what a jelly bean is? My god, steers, queers and no jelly beans. Well, I'll be. You have to be kidding me.

[Mark Kerr]

Oh! I know what a Jelly BEAN is but I just didnt know what a Jelly BELLY was. I didnt make the connection. Sorry.

Your friend,

Mark

[Grizzly]

Oh, ok. Yeah, a jelly belly is a belly bean that tastes like some other sort of foodstuff.

Jelly Belly is the king of Jelly Beans. You know that you've had too many when you know all the colors associated with all the flavors and don't need to look at the back. The buttered popcorn ones, bleh.... BS you can have them with the licorice ones you like. I go for the fruit ones: Strawberry Daquair, Strawberry Jam, Juicy Pear, Tutti Frutti, Rasberry, Blueberry, YUM YUM. I'm a candy addict. Love any chewy candies: Jelly Bellies, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, Caramels, YUM. Now you made me hungry, gotta go find my candy stash

The yare gourmet jelly beans, and should not be confused with those gross, tasteless crap jelly beans you normally get at the store.

Grizz, Im actually not sure whats used in Twizzlers. Id guess that its corn syrup but will have to check for sure. Ill look when Im running errands today.

[ratmonkey]

they use chemical mixtures to simulate the flavors. i saw that on the food network.

[Bob Smith]

1g sugar per bean. Its amazing how accurate their flavors are.

[Grizzly]

So the bellies are alright?

You'd best put a check on the candy habit of Jewel's, Bob. Otherwise... They always start pretty, but you know what happens 5 or 10 years down the road. Be careful.

No kidding! Within a week of moving into her apartment, she scarfed down a full bag of carmels, a bag of Jelly Belly's, some cookies, and probably some other sweets that I can think of right offhand. Whats amazing is that she still has some abs and an itty-bitty waist. Shes a metabolic freak, I tell ya!
