How I Celebrated

Jelly Bellys are the best. Also, these Belly Flops are cool because they are the deformed ones which means that they aren't throwing out perfectly good candy. Factories throw out way too much food.

Diet Helpers

History

 Punchbowl
As much as I loved to just eat whatever sugary treats were given to me, I did have preferences for my jelly beans. I was very partial to jelly bellys but would appreciate some starburst jelly beans as well. The other ones were not as flavorful and sometimes tasted more chalky.
