I Pit Jelly Beans (the lollies)

The BBQ Pit
1

Darn you Jelly Beans with your rainbow hued assortment of colours.

Why must you mock me with your uneven assortment of colours?

Now I must spend several minutes sorting you into colour groupings. And because of your uneven distribution I will have more of one colour than another - see the greens predominate and only one black!

The horror.

Once the numbers have been evened out then I must make a decision on which colour order you are to be eat in.

Lights to darks, darks to lights. All of one colour then all of the next or should I eat on from each group then return to the beginning.

Oh the pain. Damn you jelly beans for entering my life.

someone really needs a holiday

everyone else knows that the lack of black is a very good thing (if they are aniseed flavour, if they are in fact the really dark purple and therefore a delicious berry flavour there can never be enough, I curse black jelly beans for being unclear)

Life is so much simpler when I just by a packet of black jelly beans. No other colours to confuse my poor tired brain.

It’s a general rule in the world of lollies that the darker, more luscious flavours are outnumbered by the anaemic ones - particularly the horrid greeny types

There seems to be an unreasonable number of bland white jelly beans. Perhaps I should write a strongly worded letter of complaint.

Imagine if they were Jellie Bellies! Then you would not only have to analyze single flavors, but combinations, too…

Not to mention trying to differentiate between the lovely brown chocolate and the vile brown coffee bean…

No please No! jayjay please stop with those vile suggestions Jellie Bellies are evil and confusing. Food must be orderly and behaved not unruly and riotous like Jellie Bellies.

10

you must really hate the bags of frozen mixed veggies

All those carrots, peas, beans and corn intermingling, oh the humanity!

11

Don’t. Mention. Those.

Food just should mix EVER!

Ah, a fellow Obsessive-compulsive candy eater.

Now, I’m not one for jelly beans, but M&M’s must be eaten one color at a time: first the dark browns, then the tans (sigh, remember the tans? I miss them), then the reds, followed by the yellows, oranges, and finally the blues.

Yes, I said finally. Only heathens eat green M&Ms.
Now they produce all those disgusting variations – red & green (what? and have to waste half the bag?) and Harvest colors and Easter pastesl and on and on. :frowning:

I also take issue with mixed nuts or even worse mixed nuts and dried fruit! Having to pickout all the little raisins, sultans etc is a such a chore.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Jellie Bellies…

Someone at work must have been reading this thread whilst I wasn’t looking because I got a large box of mixed Cadbury chocolates as a Christmas pressie yesterday. Had to sit down and sort them into even little piles before I could even consider eating them. Hubby was pleased because he got all the uneven chocolate.
