The perfect jelly bean — 6 Comments

  1. Boy, am I losing touch with American culture. I first thought you were referring to the spicy red and black jelly beans that used to be a part of any standard bag. (They were my favorites.) Then I followed your link and discovered a whole new yukky sounding world of jelly beans. I’ll be very cautious lest I encounter them on a trip home.

  2. I love the standard JellyBelly jbs, and a number of the more exotic ones (e.g. root beer and various coffee flavors). But some of them are just this side of loathsome. Worst of all is the one that’s supposed to taste like buttered popcorn. How did anyone ever get such an idea into production? Unfortunately I only see JBs in stores around here in assortments that include too many of the nasty ones.

  3. Mmm… root beer, pear and pink grapefruit Jelly Belly beans are excellent. I don’t like probably half of the “assorted” flavors, but when I can pick and choose, there are some gems.

  4. Oh yes, the dreaded spicy jelly beans. This Easter my wife nearly bought the evil things, and saved herself only at the last minute. And, for my son, we kindly take out the black jelly beans from his basket for him, as he regards them as an abomination. So I get all the blacks, which is just fine by me.
