This takes me back to the Great Squirrel Wars of 1991.
Bowling Green State University, Ohio, Prout Hall, April 1991. I have a butt load of jelly beans left over from Easter that are going bad, fast. There is a balcony under the window of my dorm room that is frequently inhabited by squirrels. One day, I feed one a jelly bean.
The addiction had begun.
By the end of the week, the little fuckers were going to war every time I threw one of those little colored candies onto the balcony. About seven at a time would literally swarm on them with fights lasting for several minutes. The victor was then rewarded not only with the candy, but a sugar high that would usually make it hyper for at least a day (and many times the victor the next time I threw a jelly bean out on the balcony).
