I hate squid and octopi.
So...
Beldaran, I wanted to thank you again for the Dr. Pepper. I just had some, and it's about x10 more delicious than regular Dr. Pepper. It reminds me of Jelly Belly's Dr. Pepper flavored jelly beans, which I didn't really think tasted like Dr. Pepper until now.

Oh yeah, heard about that.
Kinda sucks, although I can see how they'd want to make the movies more "realistic"
Heh, you know what was awesome? Bertie Botts jelly beans. I mean sure, it was a corny book/movie tie-in, but it actually worked. I mean, I still can't believe they actually made jelly beans that tasted like grass and vomit. Hell, I'll never forget the time my sister handed me one and claimed it was marshmallow-flavored (my absolute favorite jelly bean flavor in the entire world), and it ended up being sardines.
That said, I gotta admit - aside from marshmallow (and pear), Dr. Pepper is one of my favorite jelly bean flavors.
EDIT: Also, Amaster, I gotta admit - while I'm a little disappointed with the lack of squid, I've gotta give Zack Snyder props for doing his best to remain true to the original story. I read some of the early script drafts, and suffice it to say that they give me the jibblies, and I'm glad Zack Snyder didn't put up with any of that crap.
I remember the time we tricked my mom into eating a vomit flavored jelly bean. That was one of those few priceless moments of my life. 😃
Heh, every now and then a product tie-in comes along thats actually good. Those that are, I savor.

Yeah they are tasty. I'm pretty fortunate that they sell them at the gas station by my house for ~ $1.20. I grab one every once and a while.
I don't see how vomit is a flavour. Vomit tastes like whatever you ate before vomiting… plus the burning feeling of acid in your throat. And I don't think they put stomach acid in the jelly beans, so "vomit" must just taste like "food".

I have suffered from really bad vomiting problems my whole life due to an undiagnosed wheat allergy. I am a vomit aficionado. I have probably vomited over 500 times in my life.
It does not taste "like food".
This is one of the moments when I agree 100% with you.
Vomit tastes nothing like food. Nothing. Nothing at all.
It seems I had vomiting confused with regurgitating… which are not the same thing. Interesting. >.>
Then what does vomit taste like?

I imagine that if you to take a blender at fill it with
1) Bread
2) Beer
3) Uncooked Hamburger Meat
4) Hot Salsa
5) Fart
Blend it up, spill some on your shirt, then take a swig and swish it around in your mouth until it gets really warm and full of spit. Spit it back out into a cup.
Drink that cup. That's about what vomit tastes like.
Vomiting Bile is different from vomiting any other stomach contents. Bile is yellow, or light green, and extra bitter. It comes up when there is nothing else in your stomach, since it fills with it (along with stomach acid). I guess bile is supposed to help your body break up, and absorb fatty proteins or something.
So, you've never vomited before, Shazza?
I haven't vomited, that I can recall, since I stopped eating cheese. Which was about ten years ago (roughly, I guess).
Lucky.. I've had vomiting as a symptom of something about four times in my life. The last time was about three weeks ago. Shit was most def NOT cash.
In addition to whatever you've eaten, vomit tends to contain butyric acid, which greatly contributes to its foul odor and taste. It's also a chemical found in parmesan cheese - which once and for all answers the question of why parmesan cheese smells like puke to me, something I've wondered since I was a kid.
Now it all makes sense. I never liked parmesan cheese. Now I know why.
So back to the original topic, which of those flavors do you think they out into the vomit flavored jellybeans?
Having had a vomit flavored jellybean, if I had to hazard a guess, I suspect they take something like tuitti fruiti and and add butyric acid.
Who the fuck eats jelly beans anyway?
/rhetorical question
Okay, I've just read something in my biology text book that somewhat scares me.
Once ingested, the E. histolytica destroys the cells of the intestinal walls, causing ulceration, which can result in severe diarrhea and lead to death.
Diarrhea so severe that it kills you. That's a scary thought.
I've seen it happen, man.
(not really)
That's not really news. Pretty much any disease which gives you diarrhea can kill you - usually as a result of dehydration. Basically, you can't absorb any water because whatever water you drink just gets crapped out again. You have receptors in your intestines that take in water - germs that cause diarrhea overload those receptors, causing them to reverse and actually start pumping water into your intestines.
Still, that's just scary. Darn thing basically eats your intestines from the inside out. There's a horrifying thought.
That's what dysentery is, I think. Death by diarrhea.
It's got to be horrible to have that. Sitting on the toilet, crapping your life away, while micro-organisms are nibbling away at your insides.
Damnit. I hate having to sit around in semi-damp pants. They weren't completely dry when I took 'em out of the dryer, but I needed some pants, I was sick of waiting, and I didn't want to waste any more quarters.

Sure, blame your wet pants on the dryer. Be a man and own up to pissing yourself, all the cool kids are doing it! :tongue:
No, that would be why I had to wash my pants in the first place.
Yo. Been awhile. A lot has happened to me in since I was here last. Most important (and life altering) was hearing that my dad (Scarlet Dragon here on AGN) has passed away. Just thought I'd let those of you who may have shared some posts with him about that. Laters.
Ouch. I'm really sorry about your dad.
I really don't know what to say. Your family's in my thoughts and prayers.
