    Understand. Like licorice, an esoteric taste. Am aware that unadulterated coconut is death on the heart, so seldom indulge.

    I beg to differ there. Those girl scout cookies with the coconut sprinkled on top are damn near addictive.

    Ugh, I despise coconut, in any form.

    One of my favorite exchanges in all of Seinfeld:

    George: I’d like to report a problem with one of your mechanics.
    Willie: When did you bring the car in?
    George: (To the man behind him in line) Yeah right. ... I’m gonna get my car repaired at a dealership. Why don’t I just flush my money down the toilet?
    Willie: Sir, what, exactly, is the problem?
    George: One of your guys - Kip, or Ned, short name - stole my Twix candy bar!
    Willie: Are you saying he grabbed the candy bar away from you?
    George: He might as well have! I caught him, and his face was covered in chocolate and cookie crumbs.
    Willie: I thought you said it was a Twix.
    George: Oh, it was. But he claimed it was a 5th Avenue bar.
    Willie: Maybe it was.
    George: Oh, no, no. Twix is the only candy with the cookie crunch.
    Willie: What about the $100,000 bar?
    George: No. Rice and caramel.
    Willie: Nougat?
    George: No.
    Willie: Positive?
    George: Please.
    (A woman appears from behind the window)
    Woman: You know they changed the name from $100,000 bar to 100 Grand?
    George: All I want is my 75 cents back, an apology, and for him to be fired!
    (An old man sitting in a nearby chair speaks up. He’s Willie’s father)
    Willie Sr.: I remember when you used to be able to get a Hershey for a nickel.
    (The man behind George speaks up)
    Man: What’s the one with the swirling chocolate in the commercial?
    George: They all have swirling chocolate in the commercial!
    Willie Sr.: Not Skittles.
    Willie: Dad, I told you you could sit here only if you don’t talk.
    Woman: (Sitting behind George) You make your father sit here all day?
    Willie: He likes it!
    George: Alright! Do you mind? I have the window! (To Willie) Now, what are you gonna do about my Twix?
    Man: (In line behind George) Twix has too much coconut.
    George: No! There’s no coconut!
    Woman: (Behind service window) I’m allergic to coconut.
    Willie: I’m not.
    Willie Sr.: ... A nickel!

    Setting: Ambulance]

    (George's strapped down on a gurney. His face is purple, and he's screaming. Jerry and Kramer are trying to calm him down. The driver and the assistant in the back are having a huge fight)

    GEORGE: (In a state of hysteria) I'm an eggplant! I'm an eggplant! I'm a minstrel man!

    DRIVER: (To Assistant) I didn't take your Chuckle, man!

    ASSISTANT: I had five Chuckles. I ate a green one, and the yellow one, and the red one is missing!

    DRIVER: I don't even like Chuckles!

    JERRY: (To Assistant) Maybe he doesn't like them. That's possible.

    GEORGE: My face! My face! Get me to the hospital!

    ASSISTANT: I want that Chuckle! You hear me?!

    JERRY: (To Assistant) I'll get you a Chuckle. You want me to get you a Chuckle?

    ASSISTANT: (Angry, to Driver) Pull over!

    DRIVER: Pull over? Did you say pull over?! You want a piece of me?!

    ASSISTANT: Yeah!

    JERRY: You're gonna fight?

    GEORGE: Now?! I'm a mutant!

    KRAMER: (To Driver) Hey, let me drive.

    ASSISTANT: Come on, man. Pull over!

    DRIVER: Alright! I'm gonna mess you up, man!

    (Ambulance comes to a screeching halt. Driver gets out, and the assistant heads for the back door)

    JERRY: (Pleading) Really, gentlemen, please.

    GEORGE: My heart! My heart! (To Assistant) Where you going? Are you crazy?!

    ASSISTANT: I'm gonna kick his ass.

    KRAMER: (To Assistant) Hey, you have keys?

    GEORGE: You can't leave! This is an ambulance! This is an emergency!

    (The Assistant leaves. Jerry, Kramer, and George watch the two fight)

    JERRY: All this for a Chuckle.

    KRAMER: What's a Chuckle?

    JERRY: It's a jelly candy. it comes in five flavors.

    (Scene ends)

    I can't believe this has been left out.

    Jerry: Why did you force that mint on me? I didn't want the mint!

    Kramer: Well, I didn't believe you.

    Jerry: How could you not believe me?!?

    Kramer: Who's gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint-- it's *delicious*!

    Jerry: That's true.


    Kramer: It's very refreshing!

    Jake: So, then, you know, the light was clearly green, I started walking, he skidded and he went right into my hip.
    Elaine: (With her mouth full of Jujyfruit ) Oh, that is so terrible. That is so terrible, Jake. I mean, how can people be so stupid? Just sickening. ... You want one?
    Jake: No thanks.
    Elaine: So when do you think you're gonna get outta here?
    Jake: Where did you get those?
    Elaine: At the movies.
    Jake: Didn't the theater manager give you the message before you went in?
    Elaine: Yeah, he did.
    Jake: Then when did you get those?
    Elaine: Right after ... that ...
    Jake: So you heard that I was in a car accident , and then decided to stop off for some Jujyfruit?
    Elaine: Well ... the counter ... was right there, and ...
    Jake: I would think, under the circumstances, it would have sent you running out the building. Apparently, it didn't have any effect on you.
    Elaine: No, no, it does!
    Jake: If you got into a car accident, I can guarantee you I wouldn't stop for Jujyfruit!
    Elaine: But ... Jake ...
    Jake: I would like to be alone now, please.
    Elaine: But, Jake, I didn't ...
    Jake: Goodnight!

    ...

    Jerry: So it's all over?
    Elaine: Yeah, it got pretty nasty.
    Jerry: And what did you go back for? Jujyfruit?
    Elaine: It's not like I went across the street. I bought the Jujyfruit and I got in a cab.
    Jerry: Why didn't you eat it in the cab?
    Elaine: Because I got popcorn too, and I ate that first.

    It makes a second appearance, too. That's how good they are, apparently.
