Pickles by Brian Crane for December 18, 2015

Looks like he’s doing an eating experiment to me.

Wouldn’t that be like if… oh, I don’t know… drinking your cappuccino in a mug with the John Deere logo on it and then drinking the same cappuccino in a mug with the Dallas Cowboys logo on it to find out if the cappuccino tastes any different?

Ya know, I’ll bet he could eat the whole bag, and not tell the difference.

Opal is not happy with him.

Was that yesterday?

I’m old enough to remember when you could anticipate the flavor of gumdrops from the color.

If he mixed in a bag of dark chocolate kisses, he’d have a harder time….the silver ones would be milk, the purple ones ( purple ones?) would be dark…. and the red and green would be either.

There are mint ones…. but the wrapper is lighter green with white snowflakes.

Oh … and “peppermint” ones in striped foil, but they’re icky white “chocolate” and not worth discussing.

What? How do I know all this?I… um… well, I… Somebody told me…or I …um… read it someplace…. or something…

And so do m&ms

How much is the “Grant” for that study!?

The results will be more valid with a large sample size, Earl.

Now that was funny!

I used to try and find a difference in M&Ms.

Earl’s just making an excuse for eating all the Hershey kisses.

Christmas candy taste testers should not be rushed, Opal. This is serious business. What Earl needs is a nice glass of milk to cleanse his sensitive palate !

hmmmm – where can i get funding for just such a study????

Do the ones with the nut taste different ?

now i’m craving chocolate

They also taste the same as the pink, purple, and green ones at Easter time.

I’m in the UK so I’m not familiar with “Hershey’s Kisses”

I might have heard the name somewhere.

You need a large sampling to be sure.

Looks like an ad for Hershey’s Kisses. (Not that that’s a bad thing.)
