For those of you familiar with Harry Potter, the title of this post should bring a flood of familiar memories. As I was walking through World Market (the Ackerman family’s favorite store to wander aimlessly through) I saw a box of these peculiar confections. I couldn’t help but purchase.
When Laura saw the box, her sugar dependency overtook her. Laura has seen the movies but is not a true lover of the novels, and might have only seen the Jelly Belly name. It wasn’t long before she was gagging and handing me a small mouthful of colored goo.
This, of course, forced me to “man up” and eat whatever she told me to and try to guess the flavor. I got hung up on “bacon” and “sardine” (all I could think about when tasting the sardine was salt), but was able to identify earthworm and soap. Other flavors: vomit (very gross), booger, earwax, rotten egg, black pepper (really tasted like a spoon-full of pepper), dirt, and grass.
All in all, it was pretty funny. Laura was laughing so hard watching me gag. I like to think of my self as having a hardy constitution, but I had to stop after a while because it was too sick. Fun for the whole family!
