The Grand Bott's experiment

[Meg Demeranville]

Sorry I am late in replying to everyone. I had to work the night 
shift at the morgue last night so I was away from my computer. And I 
was suppose to be studying for my Developmental Anatomy test today.

Nope, sorry. School intervens too much. And I have seen him at least 
three times a week since he was born. With very few exceptions. He 
even called me at work last night to make sure that I still was 
taking him on Friday. 

Is it a bad thing that I can rattle off everything about him (shoe 
size, favorite foods, last book read, etc.), and still have to ask 
what my little brother which classes he is in?

>> Vomit - We only got one of these. So our class president was 
daring and tried it. According to him, it tastes like the Gross 
Anatomy lab smells and spit it out. Of course that meant everyone had 
to smell he remnants of the bean. I think "concentrated Gross Lab" 
was the  consensus. (And yes, we are a little off, smelling 
something  somebody spit out, what can I say, we are medical students)

Ahh, you guys are hilarious!  You cracked me up, especially sniffing  
someone else's.....stuff.  Hehe  I have yet to get a booger 
one....but I thought that sardine was NASTY.  I'm thinking ear wax  
might be better than sardine.  Maybe I will get one of those next 
time!

What can I say? It's becoming more frequent. "Hey this is disgusting, 
come over here and see this." Or my favorite "Oh sick, that's gross, 
hey everybody come touch this!" We really need a break. Oh well. 
Seventeen class days till Christmas break! (I'm not counting or 
anything)

Gail asked:
WHERE does one get these Every Flavor Beans?!?!?!? (in the U.S.)
I'm always hearing about them, but I never see them!

I found most of it (the rest of the candy) at Toys R Us. I found 
boxes of Bertie Bott's at CVS, our local drugstore. 

Gail further asked:
Can you look on the ingredient list and see if they are vegetarian? 
No gelatin? Are sardine flavored beans really flavored with fish? 
Hey, this is important to me.

Here is what the side of the box says.
Sugar, Corn syrup, modified food starch, Contains 2% or less of the 
following: grape juice concentrate, blueberry puree, banana puree, 
spinach powder, black powder, citric acid, malic acid, maltodextrin, 
natural and artificial flavors, color added, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, 
Blue 1 & 2 Lake, Yellow 5 & 6 Lake, Blue 1, Red 40, Beeswax, Carnauba 
wax, confectioner's glaze, salt. Manufactured in a plant that 
processess peanuts. www.harrypotter.com

Does that help Gail? They are a Jelly Belly product, so you could try 
that website as well.
