I went to the Jelly Belly Factory for the first time yesterday. It was kind of fun. The art pieces were really interesting. I don't know about driving an hour just to tour the factory though. But since it was raining, it gave us something to do. That is, after we spent a good 30 minutes with the coinstar machine, pouring one of those Alhambra water containers full of coins. I kept apologizing to the people in line behind me. I think there were over 10,000 pennies in total.

The look on my cousins' faces when they tasted the rotten egg jelly bean was all worth it. I had black pepper and earthworm. Pretty nasty.
