I love Swedish Fish. Back in my college days, I would always bring a few Costco sized boxes to my dorm or apartment, as the little red treats are not just tasty, but a good conversation starter. As in:
“Hey, are those Swedish Fish?”
“Why yes. Yes they are.”
“I love Swedish Fish!”
“So do I! Please, help yourself, and let this be the beginning of a wonderful friendship.”
Back to the present, I saw this in a store not too long ago, and I was intrigued:

Swedish fish aren’t just fish? That’s right, meet the rest of the family:

Joining the classic red fish, now there’s a blue dolphin, a yellow starfish, a green whale, an orange seahorse, and a purple something-or-other. (A puffer fish, maybe?)
So what’s the verdict? The dolphins are alright, the purple things were so-so, and I was not particularly impressed by the rest of the aquatic family. Swedish fish are red and chewy and amazingly delicious, and I simply have no need for any other gummy sea creatures.

your claims of “the beginning of a wonderful friendship” are disingenuous.
You have an Epic Fail here (but a cute kid).

plus, puffer fish are poisonous. I’m actually going to have to take a point away from Eli now, since his life is also in danger now that you’re introducing such dangers into the household.

PS – I see you called the other animals “the aquatic family,” but I still say you called dolphin fish.
Good to have you back, James!
mind your own business, Al
Wait.. grammatically speaking, Al didn’t call the dolphin a fish. He just said they were joining the red fish. Like when Luigi “joins” mario to help save the princess.
