At some point in the future it will be a slam dunk to prosecute no matter innocence, you will always have damning evidence.

Impeachment:
"You previously testified you didn't know anything about MesoTeraTetrhydronicyclonicBiNucleicAcid" and never heard of it? (Total bullshit, don't google it).
"Oh, so you conveniently forgot that you asked Alexia 25 years ago to this day about this exact type of poison?"

GUILTY


Darker days are coming down the road from the nanny state. I'd rather they not have a better memory of what I said than I do.

There is something wrong with you guys eating a jelly bean you know is horrible tasting ahead of time.

I would say "Damn Kids" but ...

If you're unarmed, you are a victim

Holy. hell. This stuff is no joke. After christmas dinner, we all played Russian Roulette with candy. It will not become a family tradition. The one complete "game" is good enough for life. You expect it to be kinda-sorta bad. But no, they aced this stuff. Spoiled milk isn't like - a week past expiration. Spoiled milk is you just took a swig of something that's been sitting in the sun in summer for three days. It's probably the worst. Dead fish is waaaay up there too. At one point one got stuck on my tooth and I almost puked on the table trying to get it out.

What makes this awesome though, is get some, and slip a few beans into the existing jelly-bean bowl at work or what have you. Hilarity will ensue, just disavow any connection to it. Don't put this out all by itself, make sure people get used to taking fistfulls of "good" beans first.

ETA: I will say, I could eat the toothpaste beans regularly. They aren't bad, like mint candy. If you use this prank, know that blue is always safe.

Taste tester for Jelly Belly has to be in the top ten worst job list.

We did the beanboozled last year at Christmas, what a hoot! Rotton egg and barf seem to be the two that stick out for me.

I'm the same way. My wife's family got her an Echo Dot or whatever it is. I told my wife, which she already knew, I don't like that kind of stuff in the house. I don't run any of my cameras in the house either. I don't even like the wireless baby monitor. Am I being paranoid, probably. It's more of a peace of mind thing for me. Her whole family loves crap like that where I'm the kind of guy that would rather live simpler.

Wife bought two dots and an Echo show, unbeknownst to me. I can only hope they were on a fire sale.

The echo show is basically an overpriced radio. The weather forecast sucks. How about an actual video of the weather? How about local news stories with actual video instead of just audio.

My sister brought the plague. Nothing better than driving from Iowa to Colorado with two sick kids (2yr old and 5mo old) and a sick wife. We're just starting to recover.
