Bring your taste buds to The Health Museum this summer and explore some sweet science. Jelly Belly® presents Candy Unwrapped exposes the science of sweets and sours through the biology, chemistry, physiology and psychology of sugar. Pucker up for the super sour challenge! Pedal your way to an energy burn to discover how much time it takes to burn off a single sugar cube. Take the jelly bean test – where what you taste depends on what your nose knows. And catch a whiff of smells to see what sweet memories are triggered. It's going to be a sweet summer!

Did anyone see the chocolate exhibit at the science museum? Talk about racing to the gift shop before going home!

Would you both feel better if I mentioned the bug exhibit at the science museum? They have vending machines with edible buggies. I think I'm going to pass on that.

That is so not fair, but I do think we should go to the bug exhibit.
