Philosophically eating

The hubby and I were in the car last night on the way to try and make a bit more progress in cleaning up the old digs. In typical late-night, tired-of-cleaning, just-want-to-be-done-with-this-move-thing fashion, a deep philosophical discussion ensued about the merits of gummy bears.

Yes, gummy bears. They are one of his favorite forms of sugar and so of course, to help make the cleaning more pleasant, we had a reward bag of the goods sitting between us. As he flicked a slightly smooshed red bear into his mouth, I began to question him about the difference between colors, brands and which exactly he preferred.

Him: "A taste test is in order."
Me: "Ooooh, fun! We could buy a few different brands and have a party!"
Him: "Let's see, we got Tyrolli, Black Forest, Haribo..."
Me: "And you know I'll make a grid."
Him: "Some of them are softer than others."
Me: "Yes, but what about the taste?"
Him: "You're going to blog about this, aren't you?"

Of course!! So, this weekend's festivities will include tracking down various brands, then plotting out the factors to consider: brand, color, texture/softness, best bear-resemblance, etc. Anything else we should consider? Are we missing brands?

Sweet and sour... hadn't considered that aspect; I think we were just going to go with sweet, but we may have to toss some sour in there for good measure!

And you're right about this not being the most philisophical of conversations. Guess I'll have to ask him if he bows down before the Gummy Bear God! =-)

Results posted sometime next week!
