It's extremely common for couples to pawn the bad or at least personally undesirable flavors of certain things onto each other. It's one of those universal benefits of being in a relationship. "I'll eat all the grape ones if you eat all the black licorice ones" is simply a sign of a strong union. And this husband and wife had that for years. Or at least the wife thought she did.

What this husband failed to mention for so long is that on one fateful day 13 years ago, he discovered that the green gummy bears that his wife thinks she hates are in fact strawberry flavored. In all that time she never even tasted one to make sure. This guy was reaping the spoils of candy fraud for over a decade. And only just recently, the wife actually read the back of the bag and made a discovery that completely rocked her world.

Who knows if they'll ever be able to get past this. Godspeed to them.

My wife hates orange and lime flavored candies. I love them. Well, love the orange, like the lime. So, she passes on the orange starburst to me. She passes the orange and green skittles to me. She passes the orange and green gummy bears to me. This has been happening for 13 years.

    Uh oh

    Font - What she doesn't know is that the green Haribo gummy bears are actually strawberry. Shortly after we married, for one reason or another, I looked at the back of the Haribo gummy bears package and discovered this. So I haven't said anything for 13 years. Every time we get gummy bears, she gives me the orange and green (strawberry). I've never said a word. I've enjoyed eating my little lies. Until last night..

    There's no coming back from this

    Font - We had some gummy bears and she opened them and she started to hand me the orange and green ones. But after a few minutes, I saw her looking at the back of the bag. Then I saw her eyes get REAL BIG. She turned to me and asked if I've known that the green bears were strawberry. She always thought they were lime. I was honest and nodded my head yes. The look of betrayal was unreal.. She asked how long I've known, and I was honest. I told her as long as we've been married. She quit giving me

    Font - Edit: We don't eat these every day. A few times a year at most. I don't just get the "rejects." It's a shared bag. Whenever she grabs a few, she would pick out the orange and green and hand to me. Just like I would give the pineapple to her (bleh). TL;DR I never corrected my wife by telling her she gave me strawberry gummy bears. She thought they were lime. Now she knows and is spite eating my favorites.

    People started sharing their own similar lies

    Font - c_who +3 - 21 days ago 2 S Every year, for her birthday, my step-grandmother received a gift of chocolate covered cherries from her husband. When he died and she married my grandfather, he thought it would be so thoughtful to continue the tradition. She took one look at the box, stood up, dumped it in the garbage, and declared "I'm not spending another 30 years pretending to like those disgusting things." O

    Organism - rognabologna +1 · 20 days ago My BIL accidentally outed himself to my sister recently when, while watching his diet, he proudly told her that he didn't even get a “Car McChicken" when he was picking up McDonald's. Then he had to explain that a car mcchicken is the extra sandwich he sneaks on his way home with the rest of the food.

They didn't make the green ones lime in these! They should always do that." He didn't say a word. We have two kids and matching tattoos, so I guess we will just have to work through this. 9.4k Reply Share ... Moocow870 OP - 21 days ago 0 3 e Lol. Love you!
