The humble jelly bean's moment to shine is Easter. It's a staple in pastel-colored baskets across the nation! We're huge fans of Jelly Belly not only for their wide variety of flavors, but also for their delicious and authentic taste. In the words of Veruca Salt, "The strawberry tastes like real strawberries!" The brand has 50 iconic flavors from caramel corn to strawberry cheesecake, and each bean has a distinct color and look. How well can you identify them? Take the quiz to find out!
It wouldn't be Easter this weekend without jelly beans, and jelly beans wouldn't be the prized candy they are today without Jelly Belly, the world's most famous candy bean. The candy producer is known for its natural flavorings and its countless varieties of extreme flavors, including buttered popcorn and chili mango. Since each flavor has a distinctive appearance, it can be really fun to try to decipher flavors based on a Jelly Belly's outward appearance. Want to give it a try? Take a stab at it with this quiz.
America's favorite jelly bean company, Jelly Belly, announced its newest flavor this morning. Fans voted the acai berry, a trendy energy fruit, as the latest addition to the 50 official, ever-changing flavors. The public was invited to submit ideas for new flavors in the Dream Bean Contest and five finalists — honey, sublime chili lime, Thai iced tea, mojito, and acai — were chosen. According to Rob Swaigen, marking director for the company, the decision was an easy one:
We received thousands of submissions for acai berry flavor — it's
clearly on many people's radar. The voting for the finalist flavors was
overwhelming in favor of acai. Honey came in a strong second place.
I'm curious to try the new jelly bean and wonder how close it will taste to the actual berry. Have you tried acai? Are you interested in tasting the new jelly bean?
George Clooney's always seemed like a sweetie to me. Maybe that's why it doesn't surprise me that the folks at Jelly Belly have created his likeness using over 10,000 jelly beans. — People
