This Christmas we did “secret santa” and my Santa brought me some Bean Boozled jelly bellies. 10 different colors, 20 different flavors.
White could be coconut…or baby wipes. Yellow could be buttered popcorn…or pencil shavings. See for yourself.
The thing that blows me away is the flavor accuracy. The “bad” flavors were ear wax, toothpaste, baby wipes, boogers, skunk spray, black pepper, vomit, pencil shavings..and two others. And they taste exactly like what they say they do. That is chemical mastery.
If you put an exclamation point at the end of “different” it makes it special.
I’ve got about four more months in Hawaii. I’ve noticed some different ways and different things that are different. Different.
5. Their swimming water doesn’t seem to have any ecoli warnings.
4. Flip-flops are called slippers…I don’t know what they call slippers.
3. I can buy surf boards in convenience stores.
2. Bikinis are acceptable attire for shopping in the ritzy Waikiki area…pick up the pace, Michigan Ave.
1. People in cars will stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. And I’m talkin’ two lanes in both directions. I hope I don’t get too comfortable with that when I get back to Chicago.
One thing stays the same. In the land of Kehaus and Kekais, “Rance” is still a rare name.
