Jelly Belly's

Question.....

Why do they have to have a Buttered Popcorn flavored jelly belly? I don't like that flavor. It just seems to screw up the whole experience.

They should get rid of the buttered popcorn, and just add more cappuccino and pinta colda flavors.

    Also maybe a "Carrol Shelby's Texas Chili" would be nice.

    They mentioned that they knew that. Said they were wondering if you would keep buying them. I'm kinda curious myself, since my entire stock portfolio is centered around the answer [:)]

    Agreed. About 10% of their flavors kind of suck. But the ones that don't are divine.

    Every night they batch another flavor and the whole place smells like it. If you think the popcorn tasted bad, you should smell it! When they batch the mint flavor, it's like tear gas in there.

    Licking them first is the only way I can tell them apart.

    Jelly Bellies are an insult to the jelly bean.....The best is the old jelly beans with 5 flavors or so...not the garbage today with "designer jelly beans"...

    Gotta disagree there. Jelly Belly came up with some stinker flavors, but the 28 or so flavors that aren't stinkers...kick the hell out of the traditional jelly beans. I don't care if it's a designer jelly bean, but that passion-fruit jelly belly....mmmmm, I'd trade sixteen traditionals for just one of those.

    Call me fru-fru. I can take it. I call the latte-drinking crowd fru-fru all the time, so I guess I ought to be able to take it on this.

    Any jelly beans are better than the ones that have the spiced flavors...they're nasty!!! Give me the normal fruit flavors. That being said, I like the buttered popcorn flavor Jelly Belly!!!

    Oh, now that's just wrong on every level: a jelly bean traditionalist who likes the buttered popcorn fru-fru beans....

    somebody get a rope.

    Yes, I did for about 6 mos while i was waiting on my medical to clear on my commercial drivers license. One of the perks they have is "all you can eat" while you're working. Gets old fast.

    I read somewhere that the Buttered popcorn bean is the most popular flavor.

    Eat it with a jalape?o bean. Tastes like a jalape?o popper.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.
