Happiness is jellybeans . . . but I'll have to disagree with Chuck and Linus on their tastes. What's your most and least favorite jellybeans? Happiness is going away for the weekend to Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down, so no Happiness posts from me till Monday. But, anyone interested in 'Toon Monday or 'Toon Tuesday, in which you post a fave cartoon?

Red's the best. I'm with jonmc on the worst.

I really like green and yellow, but they're all great.

I used to save the black and white ones till waaaay after Easter and eat them when there was nothing else sweet in the house. Not my faves.

Green and/or yellow. And the guy or whoever invented Jelly Bellys should be beaten about the face and body with a large stick. Peanut Butter jelly beans? That's just downright communist!

Woah Shane. We're like jelly-soul-mates..or something...

I like the Jelly Belly's, man. Some of the flavors are damn good. Not the Peanut Butter or Buttered Popcorn though. Those are just weird.

I worked with a guy who's son was a distributor for Jelly Bellys. He used to give out big boxes of them on a weekly basis. My daughter loved them but I had to have the guy whacked to stem the flow.

I went to the Jelly Belly factory when I was young. It was closed, but the gift shop was open. They didn't give anyone free jelly beans.

That trip sucked.

Please feel free to mail your hated black jellybeans to me.

I dislike all jellybeans. I'm more of a bubblegum girl.

Orange and yellow are my favourite jelly beans, green is good too. Red are the worst - they taste like cough syrup.

I like green red and yellow (lemon or pineapple) best. I hate buttered popcorn and licorice.

I like Bott's Every Flavored Beans, especially grass and dirt but not vomit (yuck).

Six siblings. One sister decides to like the black ones, makes a killing.

I've been wantin' to try those, muddgirl... I might skip the vomit myself, though.

Coffee jelly belly's are yum... and pina colada... buttered popcorn is nasty, though the company claims it's their most popular (according to a food network profile)...

My mom loves black licorice. She's the only one I know eats Black Crows.

Black jellybeans are the greatest jellybeans produced today. They require a refined palate and a carefully cultured aesthetic sense to be appreciated, but once you've reached that level of sophistication, you can expect to be rewarded with a lifetime of epicurean delight.

Pink jellybeans, on the other hand, are for morons.

The problem is that sometimes...the vomit flavor disguises itself in something innocuous like eggshell color or sky color or whatever

posted by muddgirl 04 August | 14:54

Well, eamondaly, I must be a moron. I like the pink ones, the red, yellow, green...heck, everything but black. The white didn't do much for me, either.
