Jellybeans
Apr. 10th, 2018 11:43 amI like jellybeans. But since they're pure sugar, I also like to avoid them. When I was in Phoenix last week on my last shopping day at Paradise Valley Mall, and one for four for shopping (well, technically two for five) I decided to get some jellybeans. There's a Fizzywigs (IIRC) across from The Body Shop where I was picking up a tub of gunk (that's the technical term) for my wife, having previously picked up a tub of gunk for myself. Had she contacted me earlier, we could have exploited their buy two, get one free offer for buying expensive tubs of gunk. Oh, well. On departing, I decided that it had been several years since I had bought some jellybeans, and I indulged myself.
(Body Shop keeps discontinuing my preferred brands of hand cream, I was making due with Almond Hand & Nail Butter and they introduced Almond Milk & Honey. My prev fav was Spa Wisdom Africa Honey & Beeswax, which went away, but may be returning! But they introduced something called Almond Milk & Honey which I REALLY like: very smooth application, dries quickly, and low order. I sometimes have hyperosmia and I require low odor.)
Last night, I was pondering how to safely consume the jellybeans. It wasn't just a matter of pouring a few in my hand and popping them in my mouth, it was more a matter of poodle-proofing them. And then the proverbial lightbulb appeared.

I have two or three empty bottles of a famous coffee brand known for burning their coffee, I find them handy to keep around for a variety of uses, such as crushing nuts or melting butter for popcorn. In this case, a temporary jellybean holder.
Said variety are cotton candy, popcorn, and I thought I'd try French vanilla. I'm kind of disappointed in it and don't plan on buying any more of that. I like the Dr. Pepper, I might get some more of that in a few years.
