Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 30, 2015

The white jelly beans we get in bulk here are peppermint. Now Jelly Bellies have four different white flavors: the more transparent white is cream soda, the white with black specks is vanilla bean, white with rainbow specks is birthday cake (not all that great), and plain solid white is coconut.

White jellybeans are tasty.

I also couldn’t read the words “Goblin Queen” without thinking about Madelyne Pryor from the X-Men comics. Is that just me, or did other people’s minds go there too?

White jellybeans were always a wild card for me. Could be pineapple, could be menthol.

Peter, Peter. Pumpkin eater…

‘Grapefruit’? The common knowledge when I was growing up was that they were earwax. Must be trying a new flavor…

The real question is are they the fruit ones or the spicy ones? I prefer the spicy especially as the fruit ones now include ersatz green apple and watermelon.

I didn’t know white had so many different flavors. White is my favorite flavor, and the white I’m thinking about is the white that comes in the regular brach’s easter bags.

MY late wife and I had a similar situation concerning black jellybeans. “Symbiosis” is a more precise term for it than “destiny.”

Agreed Unicorn.

I always thought the white jelly beans were vanilla (not including the gourmet brands).

There is a certain brand (can’t remember which) that has a purple jelly bean which I don’t care for. It’s supposed to be a grape flavour but it leaves an odd aftertaste.

It’s like the Olive Theory from “How I Met Your Mother”: The best bet for a relationship is to have one person like olives and the other hate them, so the liker gets all the olives.

I haven’t yet found a dislikable jelly bean…

Does anybody think the white Jellybeans are the Jellybeans Phoebe sucked?
