'Cuz they're gray and slimy and eaten *gurgle* raw.

And yet, I like and eat sushi. Go figger. ;)

I abhor licorice-y-tasting root beer.

Is teh bleurgh.

Also, no black jelly beans...And I don't particularly care for any of the candies in a "box of candy" like you buy your sweety on Valentine's Day.

Toss your beans over to me Grav, I adore black licorice anything. Just purchased a tiny bag of the made in Australia kind-for snacking emergencies.

Mum thought she was bleeding from the bowel a while back. This involves black tarry stools and/ or coffee like granules.
Turns out she had pigged a whole box of Bertie Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts. They don't agree with one of the medications she is on and caused stomach ache (and intense fright.)

Funny in hindsight though.

Mammydigr gets my black jelly beans.:D
