Unlikely Words

Boing Boing had a post about bologna flavored bubble gum, which reminded me of a concept I’ve been tossing around with some friends for several years now: cold cut flavored jelly beans. Imagine being able to buy a bag of jelly beans that had ham jelly beans, cheese jelly beans, rye jelly beans, mustard jelly beans, lettuce jelly beans, tomato jelly beans, mayo jelly beans, etc. You could pick and choose the proportions and there could be several other different flavors like roast beef, pumpernickel, pastrami, cheddar, swiss, and on and on. I don’t think anyone’s making these yet, but someone should, and bologna bubble gum makes me think we’re not far away.
