I love strawberry jellybeans. I kinda love ALL jellybeans. Jelly Bellies are great, but DAMN have you ever tried those Starburst ones?
Anyway, Luna is not allowed to eat strawberry ANYTHING… except actual strawberries. WHY?…
Some kids are incredibly sensitive to it. It turns kids into Tasmanian devils. And Luna totally goes looney tunes. So when she asks for a gummy bear or a sucker… or a jelly bean… we make sure she doesn’t get a red one.
See the above comic strip for an example of why.

This actually explains a lot…
It’s totally true.
Wow… and to think my dog is this energetic when we go to the dog-park
Thank you again. Today i learned something new.
Weighting 70kg, my ADI would be a half gram. One 200 gram package can easily have 2 to 3 grams of red 40. No, i never managed to last a once opened package for almost a week, so in these 2 to 3 days i was overdosed. Now i know why i had problems sleeping. Good thing europe banned that stuff, where i live now i dont need to worry.
Sometimes eating, drinking or breathing… is a health risk 🙂
