The Modern Jelly Bean

I recently discovered a new type of jelly bean... Nerds Bumpy Jelly Beans.

I first was introduced to these bursts of flavor at KC's house. I was never a fan of jelly beans, but always a fan of Nerds. Never knowing they even existed, I tried one and absolutely fell in love! After my first bumpy bean... They started showing up everywhere. I went to the grocery with my Mom over spring break and saw them in the season's aisle. I picked up a bag, in hopes I would have them all to myself. After bringing them home, my Mom, Dad, Travis and I managed to finish the whole bag in a few hours time. In that time, they were all hooked to this magnificent bean. Yesterday, Easter, I got a triple dose of the new bumpy beans. My Mom gave all of us kids (brothers, sister-in-laws, and boyfriend) 2 bags of the beans. Just more people to add to the obsession. Then, we went to dinner at Trav's Dad's house. The bottom of the Easter basket was filled with bumpies. My entire Easter Sunday was filled with the consumption of Nerds Bumpy Jelly Beans and I loved it!

I also must tell you of the jelly bean pooping bunny. Trav's Dad gave this to him as part of his Easter basket. Just a funny toy I thought I would share. You wind him up and he starts walking. A little flap opens on his butt... Out comes a jelly bean! We put the bumpy beans in there, but there size caused a bit of a problem.
