Jelly bean issues

I like jelly beans. But I have two major issues with them:
1. Jelly Belly brand jelly beans are quite good. Their self-proclaimed title of "Gourmet" is well-deserved. But they have so many flavors, special care must be taken to not mix flavors that shouldn't be mixed. So instead of sticking my brutish bear paws into the candy dish, I have to use my dainty little fingers to select beans of one color. And I still have problems: I pick up a bunch of white ones, and I happen to pick up one of the dreaded flavors: Buttered Popcorn. Unbelievably disgusting. The person who invented that flavor should go to jail.
2. Black jelly beans. I like black licorice, and I like black jelly beans that have that flavor. But black doesn't mix with any other color. Period. Not to be racist, but I would say that the black jelly beans corrupt the entire bag. So again, I have to be careful about which ones I'm putting in my mouth. I like to get the Farley's brand bags of jelly beans. Most colors mix fairly well. A yellow will mix with a white. A green will mix with a red. But God forbid a black bean gets in the mix. Call the ambulance; you're better off dead. And just when you think you're safe, you put some purple ones in your mouth only to find out that a black one blended in with the purple ones. Gross. I can't even talk about this anymore. I'm repulsed. #food
