What's so great about the jelly beans?
- I get it, you're thinking, "They're jelly beans, who cares?" Fair! But, if it's worth anything, I have tasted many a jelly bean in my day, and none are as tasty as these. If I can't convince you maybe this review from the blog A Boy and His Beans can. I can't claim to understand how the mind of the honorable Mr. Joe works — perhaps it's the fact that these are "gourmet," maybe it's because they're gluten-free, or maybe I've Pavlov-ed myself into liking these because I have many allergies and these have the stamp of approval from my immune system. Either way, it's safe to say that Jelly Belly's days in the limelight are numbered.
