Good news! The results of The jelly baby quiz are finally in.
As a reminder, all you had to do was answer five questions about jelly and babies, and let me know your preferred type of jelly baby so your prize could be tailored to you.
I’m delighted to announce that Kev is the winner, scoring well on all five questions, and a 400g pack of Maynard’s jelly babies are on their way to him.
Those of you who paid close attention will have noticed that the questions were quite vague and scoring them is at least partly a matter of opinion. This was supposed to enable me to declare everyone a winner and use the quiz as an excuse to send out jelly babies in all directions, spreading joy and chewy sweets to the whole Beans massive. However, despite Ian complaining about the quiz and then being reminded that he hadn’t let me know what kind of jelly babies he likes, five months on we are still none the wiser. As a result Kev has been declared the only winner and Ian’s lack of juvenile gelatinous snacks are his own fault.
Some people might say that this is petty, and that I could have just sent Ian any pack of jelly babies, but I would draw those people’s attention to the extensive terms and conditions that our team of crack lawyers have attached to competitions and lotteries run through the Pouring Beans website.
Anyway, let’s not let this minor administrative drama get in the way of celebrating Kev’s victory. Congratulations Kev – please enjoy biting the heads off first from all 400g of jelly babies.
Wait. That sounded sinister. Let’s just leave it at “congratulations”.

This. Is. Grade. A. Top. Of. The. Line. Bull. Shit. Mate.
You’re angry, but if you think about it, isn’t it yourself that you’re angry with?
This was an excellent and welcome surprise, I was initially very confused, which isn’t surprising given that the competition was 5 months ago. However on checking the terms and conditions Chris clearly stated: “Answers and prizes to follow later, when I can be bothered”. The delicious prize (as you can see) has now arrived (thank you!) but we’re still waiting on those answers. Is another 5 months long enough?
You can’t remember sort of winning a competition ages ago? How many are entering per month? Too many, like a savage?!
Having now been reminded that I also promised answers, I am a) dismayed to find that I have to actually come up with answers to the stupid questions I set, but also b) relieved that this will tick off a post close to the end of the month.
It’s all come full circle, like the magnificent and majestic moon beaver.
The most circular of cosmomammals. That really is full circle. It’s a wonder they don’t bounce away into space like big silver furry beach balls.
