Default Your Favorite Jelly Bean Flavor?

I Thought this would be a fun topic to start. At the NYC Fancy Food Show yesterday, Jelly Belly was there handing out free samples (Soda Pop Shoppe, Smoothie Blend, and new Pomegranate) along with you being able to take small cups worth of any flavors you want.

Anyway like a normal american, I filled my bag with free samples when Jelly Belly himself wasnt looking (The big mascot guy).

Anyway while watching tv i thought hm i wonder who else on ct has a favorite jelly bean.

So lets start!!!

Mine is Jelly Belly's Dr. Pepper, Cream Soda, and Pear, however I do like their other flavors like vomit, dirt, and buggers. (YEAH TASTE LIKE WHAT THEY ARE NAMED AFTER!)

my all time favorite is buttered popcorn. Chocolate pudding and cherry are good too. I love the lemon lime and pina colada as well. They make such a good product.

There's a Jelly Belly factory not far from here but I've never trusted myself to go in there!

My favorite flavor is toasted marshmallow.

have never developed a taste for them, but was amazed at the popularity. I worked in a really nice coffee shop a few years back, we had sooo many jars. People would come in with their "recipes" and buy many bags to mix for perfect tastes. Sounds like they have made some of those into beans now?

I like the licorice ones best. They make some of the best licorice flavored candy there is, imo. Can't bear the popcorn ones

I like Jelly Belly beans, although I don't eat them very often. I like the white ones - coconut, popcorn, vanilla - some of the fruit flavors. Actually, I like most all, except those vonit-dirt- flavors, but the white ones I like best.

There's Jelly Belly factory about a 45-minute drive from me - been meaning to visit ...

I used to love their grapefruit flavored ones, but I think they recently changed the recipe. Also really like the lemon-lime, the Dr. Pepper, and the tangerine. Mostly I prefer the fruit flavored ones. Not a fan of the Buttered Popcorn or Toasted Marshmallow, though my wife loves those.

Gimme good old fashioned cherry, grape and licorice. Pineapple was always good too. Lemon and lime could go the way of the Dodo and I would be none the worse for wear.
