Not to mention Jelly Belly rhymes with Kelly, eh? And it was Ronald Reagan's favorite food group, too.

Jelly Bellies have a sharper, truer taste, better texture, and have flavoring on both the inside AND the coating, whereas most jelly beans and other candies only put flavor on the outside.

Mmm. Jelly Bellies are about the only sugar-coated candy that I can honestly say is *enjoyable*, because each one is small enough to give your mouth a brief explosion of flavor-flavor...oops, wrong commercial.

Er...Hey. I'm desperately trying to remember whether the 'Buttered Popcorn' Jelly Bellies are my favorite flavour, or whether it's the Cream Soda ones. I think it's the slightly off-white, off-yellow white ones with white snowflake spots on them. I like them because I fancy they're a teensy bit salty, which gives good contrast to the other flavours. The other one I sometimes enjoy are the Jalopeņo jellies because they're a little... hot. The only problem with those is they are also metallic-tasting like real Jalopeņos (ugh).
