Special to ivy: Sin tastes like licorice.

OK, an explanation: I had coffee with ivy today, during which we established that relationships (or the lack thereof) can make one meshugah. But she brought me a cruciform tin of "Christian" jellybeans that she picked up on a business trip. The various colors have terms like "Jesus's blood" (red) and "Heaven" (yellow) assigned to them on the lid. "Sin" is, inevitably, black. But the black ones have a respectably strong licorice flavor. I ♥ licorice, so if the makers of the tin were trying to discourage me from sinning, they failed.

Did you eat any of them other than sin? You're still one up on me, I couldn't bring myself to try any of them. Having grown up Catholic, I am super creeped out by the untransubstantiated Jesus's Blood flavor.

I turns out that Jesus's blood is cherry-flavored.

Maybe you can plant one and grow a sin tree! I think that would be lovely.

If this happens, I'm gonna show up and graze.
