Winning caption by Lizzy:
To bean, or not to bean, that is the question.
Happy Earth Day, everyone! I tried to come up with something earthy for today’s Tiny Thing, but I’ve already knitted a Tiny Seedling, a Tiny Tree and Shrub, and a Tiny Earth. So here are some jelly beans instead!
Jelly beans are perhaps the least seriously taken food, and these guys are out to prove the world wrong! What serious thoughts do their sticky sugary Easter-y exteriors belie? Leave your caption in the comments and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday!
The winner this time will get a special springtime pattern package: Ninjabun, Rainycloud, and Which Came First!
I have a caption for those adorable little jelly beans:
“Ahhh! Don’t eat us! We don’t taste like regular fruit! We taste like ROTTEN fruit!”
No, we can’t jump. You must be thinking of someone else.
“We’re off to school so we can become Smarties!”
Jelly Beans: It’s what’s for dinner!
No! we’re not jumping beans! Thats the easter Bunny’s job, silly!
When will this caption be picked anyways?
I may be small but damn am I good!
Our plan is almost done. We infiltrated the candy scene, made our presence known in the magical world, showed that we can be part of the sport scene providing electrolytes to runners in a fun candy form..next stop is world domination! Hahaha!!
Thats hilar Andrea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re better in your basket, we’re a non-caloric treat!
We jellies are the magical fruit that don’t make ya toot.
the caption will be chosen next monday…. also you should make a tiny rubber ducky or flower or a tiny envelope with stamp
We’re THE MEAN BEAN BUNCH
Hey! Who ate the rest of us?
If I win can I pleasssssssssssssse have the tiny fruitcake pattern pleeeaaassseeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No matter if you’re a president or a kid, we’re always your favorite “veggie”!
“if I’m eaten, and die, how will the world know I’ve ever even ‘bean’ here?”
Tiny Jelly Beans are happy that the 80’s are back, but still refuse to wear shoulder pads.
Easter: Bean there, done that.
We are serious debaters. Currently we are discussing color and gender identity. Join us for some intellectual excercise!
That one’s fab :) I agree a wee flower might be good for Earth Day next year!
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue jelly bean- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the pink jelly bean – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
“Look, the greatest novel ever written is definitely Russian. The only question is, is it Crime and Punishment or Anna Karenina?”
“Come on guys! We can show those PEEPS we’re better than them!”
“We may be small but pack a sugary-Eastery packed- *chomp* “Aw come on! I didn’t mean bite! I meant hug!”
I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly
Us Jelly Beans may be small, but when its Easter, we’ll be a big hit!
if you have a bag of jelly beans and all but 16 are red all but 16 are blue all but 16 are green and all but 8 are yellow how many of each color do you have?
The WORLD will change but we won’t change our color! :)
What kind of bean can’t grow — a jelly bean!
When my doctor told me that I should make more beans because they are high in fiber, I don’t think these were exactly what he had in mind!
“I know I am hard on the outside but i’m all soft and gummy on the inside.”
“It’s hardest at the holidays, Easter the most of course.”
“Why can’t you be more like your brother, he’s chocolate you know.”
—-Things heard at the Jelly Bean Support Group
Pink Jellybean:”I wish we could see our friends the Smarties!”
Blue Jellybean:”And the Skittles and M&Ms!”
Yellow Jellybean: “Oh, we’ll see all the small candies at the Annual Small Candies Convention! Thats where all small candies of the world get together and PARTY!!!!”
“Ok…once we’re in the basket burrow into the grass. Then once the basket is ravaged we can make our escape!”
I know what your asking….Where have we bean all your life?
If we get a group of us, we can take out the hollow bunny, THEN WE CAN TAKE OVER THE EASTER SCENE! We’ll be in every basket, not just some, then there will be enough of us to take out the rest of the Easter candies, and soon, THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! MUAHA!!
Bean there, done that……
We’re stuck in a rut…
Other Bean: No! We’re stuck to the basket!!!
“Did my doctor tell me to take the pink pill, the blue pill, or the yellow pill….?”
I know, I know. Not jelly bean related, but I thought I’d throw it out there. :)
Jelly Bean thought:
Why eat beans hot?
Why eat beans you have to cook and clean?
Why eat dull, one-colored beans?
Come over here and look at me!
You don’t have to eat me hot,
or even put me in a pot!
I don’t have to be cleaned, just seamed!
I come in red, yellow, purple and blue,
And I have no calories for you!
We are jellies with bellies that wellies. We come in many colours so have you tried us all flavours?
Could there be anything sweeter?!?!?
The Jelly Beans have been in the bean bin for the time being.
Jelly Beans… If only they counted as vegetables.
“Oh no, should we have filed jointly instead of individually?! And can Blue still be declared a dependent?”
Joey the jellybean was all for Easter, until he learned what people do with jellybeans AFTER they’re found in the eggs!
Scratch my last comment. New one:
Jelly Beans should count as vegetables right up there with candy Corn… :)
“Please don’t put us in the jelly bean pooping chicken! PLEASE!”
Even if you lick us before putting us back in your brother’s basket he’ll still eat us. So don’t, please, just don’t. No really, he Will Not just let you keep us for yourself.
Noooooo!!!!
*sighs* too late.
Honest, we don’t cause gas!
Don’t confuse me with my brother, Lima, or my sister, Kidney, my name is Bean…Jelly Bean!
We Jelly Beans are your friends, and we’re good to the very last bite (:
“Don’t eat us! We’re not as tasty as we look!”
‘where did i put my jelly phone?”
I posted on the Facebook post.
Theories of cranial size determining intelligence have been debunked! Tiny beans are the best!
” ‘Dancing Bean’, ‘Must’ve Bean Love’ or ‘Jump’? The eighties were just too good to choose from! “
Blue: “I do NOT have a Jelly Belly!”
Yellow: “Yes you do!”
Blue: “Do not!”
Pink: “Guys, be civil. We ALL have jelly bellies. Now, we have until the kids wake up to plan our escape! Blue, untie that ribbon!”
jelly beans: candy or legume? you decide.
I love all these comments!
HAHA! That’s hilarious!!!! :D :D :D
yes silly humans keep eating us,one day we shall take over and Rise against you!
¡Viva la Revolución!
To bean, or not to bean, that is the question.
My name is Bean, Jelly Bean
Pink bean: “Eat.”
Blue bean: “Pray.”
Yellow bean: “Love.”
I am one powerful sugar rush packed into a tiny portable package :-)
A voice from offstage: “Man, I’m always picked last. No one likes the licorice jelly bean!”
Also, those jellybeans are pretty much life-size…or even giant jellybeans…yet still adorable.
Keep us away from Reagan!
For those that don’t remember, our former President kept a jar of jellybeans on his desk in the oval office.
