Jelly Bean War

You can forget how good a jelly bean is, but you will not forget the scarring sensations of eating baby powder, rotten eggs, or some sweetened skunk spray.

This my friends was Jelly Bean Wars -- a not so auspicious challenge.

Lounging around last week, awaiting my departure from Milwaukee and looking for some entertainment, I looked up at my cousin and made her a proposal:  "Gabrielle, will you eat a black jelly bean if I promise to eat a black jelly bean too?"

Before I could finish asking the question, she retorted with sure displeasure.
"Why?" you, the reader, might ask.
Well, because it wasn't just any black jelly bean of licorice flavor that she may be ingesting, there was a chance it was the ever-undesirable sensation of Skunk Spray.

Oh yes, this wasn't an ordinary box of jelly beans, it was a box filled with beads of wrongfully flavored sugar presented in the form of boogers, vomit, ear wax, pencil shavings, moldy cheese, rotten egg, black pepper, and the consensual disgust of the night -- Baby wipes.

However it wasn't that easy. The fun was this; you didn't know which flavor you were eating.

There were eight different colors of jelly beans. Each color could either be a regular flavored peach, pear, banana, etc., or it could unknowingly be it's counterpart like the all too realistic tasting "vomit", "booger", and "pencil shavings", respectively.

So, still starving for some action that evening, I knew I had to crank up the challenge on my end by making sure I would put myself in a "lose-lose" situation, giving her some incentive, and hopefully having some laughs.

She accepted so benevolently. The agreed verbal contract was this:  We each eat one black jelly bean (either licorice or skunk spray).  If she discovered she was chewing skunk spray, then I had to also eat a second jelly bean that was potentially Vomit flavor (the yellow and red one), and extremely disgusting, in addition to my original black jelly bean.

And so it goes...

Would you take the risk?  Do the flavors of Skunk Spray deter you from anything resembling this challenge? Or do you take on the challenge for a little family fun?
Did Gabrielle accept my challenge, and if so, did I want to actually partake knowing the flavors that present themselves...?

Think about it, and check back later for the video result.
