Barb, it’s a conspiracy I tell ya.

Carol, that’s really their #1? I’ve met people who like them, but never anyone who said they were their favorite. Weird.

Stephanie, that’s too much pineapple. I mean, really.

If you live someplace where you <em>can</em> get them, I really don't want to hear it. Not with forecasts for the low 30s later in the week.<br/><br/>Amy, a whole pineapple? I like them, but about halfway through I think I'd be tired of it.<br/><br/>Ali, that's not weird at all. Mouth feel counts for a lot. For instance, Jelly Belly makes a buttered popcorn flavor that tastes <em>exactly</em> like buttered popcorn. I love jelly beans. I love buttered popcorn. But those things make me want to hurl. That flavor isn't supposed to be chewy. Jenni, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen you say where you live now. If you live someplace where you can get them, I really don’t want to hear it.
