Not sure it is really that hard to tell them apart.

Sure, but you’re looking at a picture of them side by side there. What if there’s only one left in the bag, without the other to compare it to? Could you be sure? What if the lights were low? What if the lights were low and you were with your beloved, and they sweetly and seductively asked you to feed them a grape jelly bean, and you lovingly placed on their tongue a licorice one inadvertently? It could be the biggest mistake you ever made!!! IT COULD BE THE END OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!! You could slide into the blackest depths of depression, as black as the cursed licorice jelly bean that was your undoing. But nay, it was your hubris that was your undoing, wasn’t it?

For the record, I’m Team Licorice.

Reminds me of trying to tell the black Jujyfruit gumdrops from the other dark ones in a movie theater. You had to hope that there was enough light from the movie screen to be able to tell them apart without biting them.

Next time I go to the movie theater, you can have mine.

I’m am, too! Just definitely NOT Team Swedish Salty Ammonia Licorice. That’s a bridge too far for me.

licorice is in my humble opinion: “the antithesis of candy.”
