To My Fellow Jelly Bean-ophiles

Mr. DS · February 20, 2010, 09:53:58 PM

I probably started this thread before but I figure I'd begin anew. I love jelly beans and this time of year sees me overdosing on the many varieties.

My absolute favorite is the Sweetart variety which is odd because I don't care for traditional Sweetarts. These babies are great though and I go through at least 10 bags this time a year. So far I've also sampled Sour Patch ones which are really good. My wife and I were at Target today and we picked up a bag of Starburst ones that had only Cherry, Watermelon and Strawberry flavors. My wife won't let me have any although I've been stealing a handful here and there. I also found Jolly Rancher variates good too.

So what are your favs if any? Are there any you really don't like? I should point out I'm one of few who can't stand Jelly Bellys. They get too artsy fartsy with their flavors and I feel most of them kind of stink.

I used to hate jelly beans until I tried the Starburst jelly beans! I think they're the best. But what bugs me is why do they sell the red-bean only starburst jelly beans, but not the strawberry and cherry only regular starbursts?!

I'm not a huge fan of jelly bellys, but I do like the popcorn flavor. Actually I don't really know if I LIKE it as much as I just can't believe how much it actually tastes like popcorn and have to keep reminding myself by eating them over and over again.

Cinnamon and pepper flavored ones. now harry potter, that's all of the flavors.

I like the tropical fruit variety. I also like smaller ones over larger ones ... I suppose this would mean something if I told this to a psychiatrist.

My favorites are the cotton candy, bubble gum and buttered popcorn flavors.

I love the sweatart ones. Also love pear and peach flavored ones.

I like many Jelly belly flavors... The ones I don't are any red ones (I don't know why), black ones (does ANYONE eat them?), and the cocoanut.

I eat the black ones. By preference.

My next fave flavour is orange.

Tried Lemonhead ones today. Not exactly my fav, they are a bit too tangy. If you like the candy you'll probably dig the JB though.
