How do you think I learned about them? Someone brought them
in to work one day. I took two because I love meatballs. I thought
they were meatballs in tomato sauce. After biting into the first one
I thought ... shouldn't have taken two, this is bad. Then a co-worker
said how do you like them? Self-preservation made me say they
were good. Good thing, because sure enough, she made them.

Then she said Do you know what's in them? Oh, I hate that question.
What? Grape jelly and chili sauce. All of a sudden I could tast them
separately, the jelly and the sauce.

So now everyone says it's my favorite for a joke. And I found out
that a lot of people like them. That's okay, they can have mine.
