the perfect snack food?
today is a good day. i believe i have found my snack food nirvana. on a recent road trip to a wedding in michigan and back through niagara falls, i bought an 8 oz. package of assorted jelly bellies. upon closer inspection, i found that they had a dr. pepper jelly belly. when not confused with the identical looking chocolate pudding bean of questionable flavor, this dr. pepper jelly belly provides a party for my tastebuds, only rivaled by the flavor of imperial cane sugar glass bottled dr. pepper from dublin, tx, itself.
upon reaching this pinacle, i soon came to the conclusion that those few beans in the assortment would not satisfy me. directly following the roadtrip, i went straight to jellybelly.com, where i found i could order these perfect beans in 2.2 pound bags. i also found that the reason for such sublime flavor contained in these beans is because jelly belly uses syrup directly from the prestigious dr. pepper bottling company. i promptly placed an order, and received said beans 2 days ago.
last night, while contemplating and pondering these beans, i came to a thought. i believed that there was a good possibility that these dr. pepper jelly bellies could conceivable contain caffeine! with the dire need to sustain my body with this drug on a daily basis, this was a staggering possibility. today i went back to jellybelly.com, and submitted a question: do dr pepper jelly bellies indeed contain caffeine?!? 3 hours later, i received this response:
Thank you for writing. Yes, our Dr. Pepper(R) Jelly Belly jelly beans do contain caffeine.caffeine and dr. pepper in a little reddish-brown bean. indeed today is a sweet day. a day so sweet, two teeth have already fallen out.Here is a list of our Jelly Belly jelly beans that do contain caffeine:

the mighty dr. pepper. although not the nectar of the gods (mountain dew), it is a very fine drink. to pack all that punch in a little bean must be a little slice of utopia.

have you seen that fruity fancy schmancy water called 'voss' that they're selling in finer stores these days? artisanal water from finland they say. or was it norway?
wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
