Yuck, no licorice for me thanks. Phred - you can have mine, after all, at Thursdays, food has no calories, never mind any other deleterious effects. If I get an Easter basket, I save any black jelly beans for my big brother - he actually likes them, I never did! Okay, nowadays, sometimes they are a couple months old by the time he gets them, but hey - jelly beans don't go stale, do they?
