Met with a vendor this morning because I'm trying to evaluate pricing from a bunch of different competitors. He gave me his info, and a box filled with packs of jelly beans. Cool, right? Well these are gourmet beans, and about 2/3 of them are like earwax flavor or some various nasty shit like that. So I see a card in the box with pictures of all the different bean varieties. I go to read what the flavors are so I can avoid the nasty ones, and the inside of the card has some ad copy about how some surprises are fun, and some aren't, so go with these guys since they won't surprise you. And they never tell me how to identify the good jelly beans.

I'm tempted to blacklist them for making me eat crappy jelly bean flavors. But I won't.

edit: Wait, I just noticed they want me to go to their website to get the real list of jelly beans. That's even worse.
