things i wish wouldn’t happen

Or, perhaps more accurately: “something i wish wouldn’t happen”:

I enjoy Jolly Ranchers (the candy, not the commune). Specifically, the lemon variety. Thai Smile 4 has a large bowl of them. I took a lemon, as is my want. I got back to work, and realized I had yet to eat it. Now, I’m not one to just chew it up and swallow it. The lemon variety of Jolly Rancher lasts for quite a while — and I intend on enjoying every bit of it. Well, that is, I intended on enjoying it, until a twist of my tongue shot it into my throat at an unretrievable velocity. As the lemony goodness was fast disappearing, I briefly considered attempting to regurgitate it. However, imagining both agreeable and unagreeable outcomes of such a solution, I decided against it.

Oh well. Unexpected swallowing is something I wish wouldn’t happen.

  6. I’m with you! I LOVE Lemon Jolly Ranchers and search periodically for them on the web. If I could have them and 1970s Taco Doritos back, I’d be in heaven.

  8. I am the 3rd link when you type in “Lemon Jolly Rancher” into google, and I thank you people for noticing. However, that alone is not going to bring them back.

    SOLIDARITY.
