Sure, everything is more expensive than you think it should be, but if a pound of skittles didn’t cost the same amount as two months rent, how else would the Candy Store Owner afford his mega yacht and private jet? But don’t get too stressed thinking about cavities, you’re here to have fun. So get lost at the chocolate display that is like the entertainment we see on tv. Some dark, some too sugary sweet. Or spend some time picking out an oversized gummy bear, which is like a life partner that you’ll enjoy for many years…until you get tired of one day and throw away.
And in the back of the big candy store we call home is a great wall of assorted jelly beans. Which are kinda of like the different religions on Earth. You may not care for Jelly beans, but around 5.8 billion people do (Pew 2012). There are many different flavors to try. You can pop in a “Very Cherry” and realize that’s’ the perfect fit for you. Or you can try the popcorn flavor, not like the taste, and decide to crusade anyone who does. Unfortunately, the candy store has a very violent past when it comes to the different flavors of jelly beans. In fact, 121 wars have been fought over jelly bean preferences which would make one think that the battle of bean supremacy would be a leading cause of fear, anger and sadness in global populations.
