To be annoyed at my corner shop?

I went to get the newspapers and found that they have installed a jelly belly counter Shock. I love jelly bellys. But in the past I would have had to go into town to find a place that lets you pick all your favourite ones to purchase, so I don't buy them very often.

Now I can buy these literally 3 minutes walk away from my house! I think they are very unreasonable to stock these so close to where I live.

So would I BU to perhaps firebomb the shop?
(Not that I would actually have a clue about how to do this).

I have my own personal Jelly Belly display. Look - there, in the mirror.

I don't think it is any particular flavour, though. Just Talc flavour.

If anybody is interested in purchasing a bit of it and taking it away in a small white paper bag, then they're more than welcome.

Is it the same as a jelly bean ?

lesley33 · 15/04/2012 10:50

Jelly bellys are posh jelly beans with lovely flavours. And ASDA sell them , so not that posh tbh.

I brought my sister an 'at home JellyBelly counter' once. I got all the stands and stuff from eBay then filled them up with all the individual flavours of JellyBelly, it took me yonks but her face on Christmas morning was worth it (it was like this Grin but bigger)

lesley33 · 15/04/2012 10:52

i must also add that i can't stand jelly babies or any of the jelly family really, sorry!

TalcAndTurnips · 15/04/2012 10:55

Sorry Lesley Grin < sincere apology face.

It's the wobble wobble wobble bit in the middle - at about 1m 15sec.

lesley33 · 15/04/2012 10:56

Its not jelly babies needtosleep. Jelly bellys are totally different. yes jelly babies are horrible and synthetic. Jelly bellys are lovely.

OP posts:
NeedToSleepZZZ · 15/04/2012 11:02

yes, definitely better than jelly bellies!

CecilyP · 15/04/2012 11:07

No, you wouldn't be unreasonable. I am always firebombing shops for not realising how weak-willed I am and stocking things that are going to tempt me.

lesley33 · 15/04/2012 11:19

Grin Thanks Cecily. I knew I was nbu. Rip how exactly do you make a firebomb again?

NeedToSleep - ouchy! That smarts Shock

DH reckons it's a sort of mixture between smokey bacon and aniseed flavour - would you concur?

Newtothisstuff · 15/04/2012 11:34

lesley33 · 15/04/2012 11:53
