A few weeks ago I was introduced to these little gummy candies, available in two flavours (melon and peach). I am addicted to these things, easily wolfing down a packet in less than half an hour (and am only slowed down by the fact that they are individually wrapped).
Speaking of which, does anyone know where one can pick up melons in Australia?(not watermelons, rockmelons, honeydew, but just the plain light green melons seen sometimes in japanese games and series) At least now I know what they taste like, thanks to the little gummy things.
The other day I was told that these delicious gummies were available in two more flavours, grape and apple. I was quick to shout "no they aren't" (because, quite frankly, I am known to shout stupid things in real life for no justifiable reason).
Upon actually trying the grape-flavour gummies, I came up with the statement "Just because it tastes like grape doesn't mean it exists". To date, this has been the most instantly quotable original statement I have ever made. Now all I need is an appropriate context...

Great line!
Of course its negative, "Just because it exists doesn't mean it tastes like grape" is clearly true. Also clearly true is "just because it doesn't taste like grape doesn't mean it doesn't exist".
Interesting.

My quote is better:
"Sometimes I wish I had the world on a string. But then I realized I would need a really big string, so I decided I wanted a ham sandwich instead."
But yours is ok too.

I once heard a guy say "Its hungry in here."
It was funny at the time, especially since he was high and had the munchies.
