All Those Years of Giving Away Halloween Candy...

Faisal just walked in a little while back holding a handful of Starburst, a candy made with gelatin. Gelatin is made from animal bone marrows and thus I can't eat it, since I have a "better safe than sorry" attitude towards the substance--it could be made from pig or non-Halal beef marrow! Anyways, he hands the Starburst to me, to which I tell him that I have no friends at DePaul to give them away to...standard protocol for Starburst, Skittles and Gummi Bears.

"What are you talking about? It's made with legal gelatin."

I blankly stare at him.

"You didn't know? Same goes for Skittles and Pop-Tarts!"

My entire life has been turned upside down. I think I'm going to cry now.
