Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 05, 2015

A week to nearly a month for a jelly bean?! Whoa!

Good luck on those post-nuclear-apocalypse taxes.But I don’t think so.

That must be why you don’t see Violet eating jelly beans.

re IRS. . . Of course they do. Would we expect anything less from our illustrious government?

At least we can expect property taxes to go down.

Saw Terminator Genisys yesterday. Lessee Skynet beat THIS

The jelly bean thing would be more impressive if they didn’t make them 10 billion at a time.

1)There are THREE things certain in this life: Death, taxes, and more taxes!!

2)These days one doesn’t have to be in Dallas or Austin to be deep in the heart of taxes!!

If the IRS shows up here after a nuclear war to collect taxes. I’m going to be making some IRS Jerky!

I wonder why some take 7 days to make while others take 21 days.

That just goes to show how out of tune the IRS is with realism. I would give a day salary to see that operational procedure Page 1 of !00 as directed (a) Geared up with Geiger counter is optional in relation to ground zero, but mandatory for G11’s & upper pay grades. (b) Collect DNA from immobile or otherwise deceased subjects: (note) see the scrapper and plastic bag provided in check -out kit Yada Yada Yada

This site doesn’t sound like it takes so long. I wonder if they used to use a different system? You can also find plenty of recipes online, which don’t take as long. Looking at some of the manufacturer’s sites, no mention is made of them taking a long time. Of course lack of evidence doesn’t prove much, but I do wonder where (and when) Ripley’s information came from. My Dad used to work with a guy who’d spent something like 20 years travelling the world tracking down stories for Ripley to verify the claims. Listening to him, it sounded like they were real careful.http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/how-are-jelly-beans-made/
