We live in the golden age of jellybeans!

As a kid jelly beans were not a top tier candy.

But the options today are outstanding!

Looks like the Easter Bunny is on his way!

Looks good.

That's really true.

The sweet tart ones taste bang-on like sweet tarts too!

I found Swedish fish ones last year but they had a weird disappointing taste to them.

The nerd ones are literally just the normal "big chewy nerds" but packaged as jelly beans. They're not even a different shape or color. That said, they're really good too.

Starburst sadly has discontinued their ice-cream flavors option. Those were SO good; I used to stock up before Easter and nibble them for months.

I like Jellybelly.

I like Jellybelly.

Yep. They are the top of the line jelly bean. Before Jelly Belly went on sale in 1976, jelly beans were just chunks of jellied sugar.

The (regular) Starburst ones are favorite!

And I agree about the Swedish Fish ones - I had high hopes, but they just weren't that good.

I like Jellybelly.

Same. I have diabetes so I’m only allowed them when I get a hypoglycemic episode. My husband is like I’ve never seen someone so happy about feeling sick. lol

The Starburst ones are pretty darn good.

I’ve never tried the Nerds one and I’m sure I’d love them since I love Nerds, Nerd Ropes and Nerds Clusters.

Truth be told….i just love everything with sugar

You all can have your flavored jelly beans, I'm going for the bag of black ones!

I like licorice, so I never minded the black jelly beans. They don't mesh well with other flavors though, so all-black is the way to go!

I do love the Starburst jelly beans too - they are awesome!

Not a big fan of jellybeans, but I love black! Also like the Brach’s Spiced variety, which are the only kind I had as a kid.

When I was young a lot of jelly beans were pretty bad. I tended to favor the pectin ones. It was quite eye opening when those jelly belly flavors became popular.

Not a fan of black licorice in any form. I have to specify because to me licorice is black, and red whips are not licorice. Or the Berties Botts flavors of Jelly Bellys.
Thankfully, they don't make kale jelly beans. Licorice and kale are the only two things I don't like.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I like black and red licorice, especially the ones like licorice wheels!

I do enjoy black jellybeans!

Jelly Belly is still the gold standard of jelly beans.

The only thing that old fashioned 'regular' jelly beans are good for is Easter decor. They look good in a jar, much like conversation hearts for Valentine's.

Never been much of a fan of non-chocolate candy.
