The mystery bean machine and some packs of Jelly Belly jelly beans.

The whole family is nuts over these jelly beans.  I luckily won two 100g packs of Ice Cream Parlour Mix by joining their simple Facebook contest.  We made a trip to their store to claim my prize and Caity got to pick her choice of the sweet treats.  If you’ve heard that phrase “like a kid in a candy store“, her happiness literally was like that.  She was over the moon and couldn’t contain herself when she saw the store even from afar.  “Look Mami! There’s the lollipop! Yummmmm!” She chose  twirly lollipops and the sugar cane which have long became a history.

We got one of those mystery bean machines, a cool dispenser should I say. Whenever you pull the lid up and lower it, a bean/s would sit on the middle.  The kids enjoy taking turns in pulling the lid then they would fight as to who gets the beans first. So fun!

It’s quite addicting just popping these little sweet beans in our mouth.  It doesn’t feel like your throat is scratched by abrasives when you eat much of these, unlike those other candies or jellies that irritates the throat after eating a lot.

We’ve learned that it isn’t wise to buy these in specially packaged boxes.  It costs much and the jelly beans still got mixed up inside! Duh!
