I'm in it for the Brach's jelly beans at Easter. They're pretty low grade candy, but when hiking they make great pocket snacks. They don't freeze and can be dumped into a mittened hand. And they remind me of a happy part of childhood.
Glucose testing is something every pregnant woman must endure in order to rule out gestational diabetes. The drink is awful. Nobody likes it.
Fortunately, as my wife discovered, you can substitute 50 Brach's jellybeans. The results are only medically valid with Brach's, because that's what was tested, and occasionally she'll use them with mothers that are seriously not into the glucose drink.
