Have you ever had these?
There are several types of jelly beans but two kinds of each color. You can pick your color but as you place it into your mouth you don't know what you are about to eat.
Here are your options:
Skunk Spray or Licorice
Rotten Egg or Buttered Popcorn
Canned Dog Food or Chocolate Pudding
Booger or Juicy Pear
Baby Wipes or Coconut
Pencil Shavings or Top Banana
Toothpaste or Berry Blue
Barf or Peach
Moldy Cheese or Caramel Corn
Centipede or Strawberry Jam
Disgusting right?!
This was very comical with the kids but some even kept coming back for more! Of course, several adults from church {myself included} tried some and I can tell you that the risk is not worth it!
These jelly beans also doubled as my object lesson for the kids. How our 'yummy or good words' can leave a good taste in someone's mouth, but those 'yucky or not nice words' leave a very gross taste in someone's mouth. The thing about those bad words too is that just like the gross jelly beans, the taste usually stays longer in your mouth than the yummy ones.
Just thought I share a little humor from my weekend!
Happy Tuesday!
Great application!

That's a great idea to use those for an object lesson!!
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Shipshewana, we could buy those at one of the tourist shops and we would often give them as gag gifts or take them to family 'gatherings'. It would make for an interesting evening :)
