On life, love, and jelly beans


There are a few things in life that I really love. One of those things, I've discovered has a kind of secret society of people associated with it. I mean there's a group of fans that are bonded together by the love of this item. What am I talking about??? Popcorn Jelly Bellies. AJ over at Babybangs got me thinking about them.

And, just the thought of them. . . . ah, there's nothing quite like them! Sweet and buttery at the same time! Oh my! My mouth is watering as I'm typing this.

There's new member to this group--my mom. You see when I left my parents home on Monday, I left a little "surprise" for her on the dresser. You guessed it--Buttered Popcorn Jelly Bellies. And while my mom was totally unaware of the Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly world, she's now a convert.

So watch out folks. You never know when you too may be "jelly bellied" by a Buttered Popcorn flavored fan. My advice? Simply sit back, put a good flick on the TV and enjoy. After all, it's a sweet, buttery treat with no fat! Who could ask for anything more?

It's time for me to stop lurking in the shadows and declare my love for this sweet, buttery treat. So here goes (deep breath).

"Hi, my name is Cheryl and I am a Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly Lover."

Reply, "Hi, Cheryl."

How about you? Anyone else brave enough to declare your love?

maybe i've never had them...cause the "popcorn" flavored jelly beans i'm thinking of are SO GROSS. i don't know if they are jelly bellies though..it was probably a knock-of version. you and amanda have inspired me to keep trying...i WILL like them one day. i have the biggest sweet tooth on the eastern coast, how could i not like these?!

Never had heard of these. They sound like a flavor of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans! I shall have to investigate!

Yes!!!
I have never seen a whole bag of them!!! I'm just the girl who searches the bag... because I know EXACTLY what they look like!

It's 8:00 in the morning and I want some now!

Thinking about buttered popcorn jelly bellies just makes me vomit a little in my mouth.
