B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for October 29, 2020

Just noticed his fangs.

Bertie Botts’ All-Flavor Jelly Beans?

I think I was five… my brother would have been seven. While going from house to house… some older kids approached us. My brother thought they were going to take our candy. Instead, they told us of a house to NOT go to. Stupid little kids that we were… went anyways. The person giving out candy… gave us Christmas Candy Canes. Wax Lips were easier to chew. Candy Corn had better flavor. And a wet towel would have been easier than trying to peel the wrapper off the soggy old candy.

I never knew Superman fans existed in the B.C. and if only we could see more of the whatshername hot chick’s costume.

… did the Easter Bunny leave them on the lawn?

Poor Clumsy!

Easter of 2009, that is!

Never trust B.C when it comes to treats.

I’m struggling with the concept of “left over” jelly beans. When jelly beans show up in this house, they disappear long before they have a chance to go bad.

Hey BC market those jelly beans that have the terrible taste flavors for a future wizard named Harry Potter.

Ralph Drabble’s ancestor?!?

Gag me

Bertie Botts made us into a world of people who don’t always choose wisely when eating candy. As if we ever did.

Talk about packaging. Some foods are made to endure until the next extinction event. We bought a big box store version of a popular cookie. Not many kids that year. Gave out about half a dozen. Snacked on the goodies myself over the next year or so. A couple years later we finally gave out the rest. All but the last one, that is. Ate that one myself. Still good as the day it was made. Amazing.

Here’s your chance to buy into (create?) Jelly Belly® or Maker’s Mark®. Get in on the ground floor!

they should still be fine

The little brown ones in the backyard are called smartnin’ pills. When you realize you just ate sh*t you got smarter.

“I vant to…”

“You vant to trip, crash, tinkle?” ☺

I’m still giving out candy from three years ago. I will until it’s gone. Sorta hard to squeeze. Are marshmallows suppose to shatter when you throw them against the wall?

Years ago, a boss had a “people feeder” on his desk. Push the lever and it gave you a jelly bean. Well, it had been empty for some time. I filled it up, but as a prank, I mixed in some jalapeno jelly beans. Talk about a prank that backfired. The jalapeno ones were GREAT. You always hoped to get one of those!

Can i get a jelly baby instead?

Aged

Waste not, want not. Some things you want to waste.

Umm. It’s just sugar and gelatin. It won’t go bad. If may not be fresh, but it’s not spoiled.

I like the marshmallow Peeps, particularly the rabbit-shaped ones, but I would rather they were just a little stale. I usually buy them at a discount after Easter, and shelve them until around June. That’s about when they get the right amount of chewy. Last year (2019), I put a pack on top of the fridge and forgot about them. I found them a couple of weeks ago. They’re scout 3/4 usual size, and all you can do is suck on them to dissolve them. There ain’t no chewin’ ’em! Taste about the same, tho.
