Johnny's Jelly Bean Tacos

With sales down at his taco restaurant, Johnny Van Socken invents a new delicacy that becomes an instant success: jelly bean tacos! Unfortunately for Johnny, his success poses a threat to some of the local business owners. When the other business owners convince the local government to pass rules to control the sale of jelly bean tacos, Johnny stands up to protect his rights as a businessman, as well as the rights of his customers.

Here's an excerpt from the text.

"The competition was frazzled. What should they do?
Mixing tacos and jelly beans just made them say "Ew!"
That people would eat this hardly makes sense.
This affront to good cooking is a terrible offense!"
