Day 7: Don't Work on the Gross Floor of the Factory

We weren't very exciting today. I mean, I was exciting (when am I not?), but we as a family weren't exciting.

I put on pants and went to Target. Exciting. 

We played a new game with the kids this afternoon. This little gem is from the Jelly Belly Factory (which we live an hour away from):



The idea is you spin and the arrow lands on a color of jelly bean. Which could either be the nice tasty normal flavor, or, the gross spit-it-out-before-you-throw up flavor. There's two flavors to each color so you never know.

They should have done this with those box of Sees chocolates. Then you really never know what you're gonna get. Eww. 


Also, what poor unsuspecting group of new employees at the Jelly Belly Factory did they employ for Gross Bean Testing? Like did they warn them when they got the job? "Hey! Congratulations on your new position here at the factory? Now, go up to Floor Seven, and they'll give you a bunch of fresh batches to taste test. Make sure the stinky socks actually taste like socks! We have stinky socks to chew on to make double sure!"

This game is made with my kids in mind. It's fast paced and doesn't last long (you really don't want to be eating that many gross beans. And I swear they put more gross ones in than good ones) but we were all howling with laughter by the end of it. 

P.S. Camden LOVED the toothpaste flavor. And now I know why the toothpaste goes so fast around here. 

Buttered Popcorn, or Rotten Egg? I don't like either so there's no winners here.
