Gummy Bears: Gelatinous Transgression
OP - July 02, 2015, 08:41 PM

I have been eating gummy bears each day of Ramadan. I go inside my closet and take out the bag, but first I have to smell the gelatinous candy. The fruity scent takes me back to the third grade when I first started wearing my hijab. My third grade teacher had a jar of gummy bears and she used to give them out as rewards. On the first day of school, she asked me if I would like to go up in front of the class and explain the hijab. I said yes, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. She gave me a gummy bear and I ate it, knowing that it was haram. She said I deserved one for being so brave. Now here I sit, in my closet, quietly eating gummy bears when I should be fasting.

These little kind of things are so useful for breaking some of that stranglehold. Well put.

Yesss. Let the gelatin consume you. Oink oink, motherfathers!

edit, on a less annoying note, it always amazes me that smells can invoke memories so strongly. Bodies and minds are miraculous.

I'm now eating gelatinously transgressive gummy worms.

My husband got seriously addicted to gummy bears out of nowhere like a year or so into our marriage, and by the time I realized the gelatin thing, he had already eaten a pig farm worth of the stuff. He still avoids eating pork, but even knowing about the gelatin now, his desk is crammed with all different brands of gummy bears.

I know! Only I have a terrible memory, and so sometimes I have that rush of a nostalgic feeling from a smell, but I can't for the life of me remember exactly what it is.

Peach rings and sourpatch watermelon! I don't think the latter even have gelatin, but mmm... Other things to try: the biggest jet-puffed marshmallows in the sweets aisle, rice krispies treats, and frosted poptarts. Ooh, Lucky Charms.

lua, noooo, that's the worst feeling ever!
