Highly controversial topic! Do you like black jelly beans?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that!

I love pickles too…I wonder if those symptoms are related? Not that I would make a pickle black jelly bean sandwich. Then again…

NO to black jelly beans, and NO to black licorice! I do however love most other flavors of Jelly Belly jelly beans. I am “proud of myself” that I didn’t get a huge container of them at Costco. They’ve been on sale.

Well…this was in the 1960’s and '70’s. They’ve probably changed the formula!

I love those spiced jellies you can buy at convenience stores. Not exactly jelly beans but still jellied. A little squishier. Great for morning sickness!

And my favorites – which I can’t find anywhere anymore – the jellied spearmint leaves that are shaped like leaves.

Amazon has spearmint leaves. Dollar Tree used to have them , not sure if they still do.

You have made me so happy! I have been looking for years – but only in candy stores when we are out. For some reason…I never thought to check Amazon.

They are on their way!

Thank you! And thank you @Hoggirl for starting this thread!

Speaking of jelly beans I swear they are not as flavorful as they used to be. I used to like to get the Starburst jelly beans because they had a pinch of flavor and the last couple years they tasted flat to me.

Anyone else? I just assume have sour patch kids (or bunnies)

My favorite flavor

So funny, H loves black jelly beans too but I’m not a fan. D is sort of ambivalent. S only likes jelly bellies and that’s what I prefer as well.

Yes. The other flavors- not so much.

Ditto. Give me fennel and cilantro jelly beans. Keep the licorice ones, please. :slight_smile:

Hard no on black jelly beans and anything that tastes like anise.

I love both, too. Now you’ve got me thinking about pickling fennel.

Voting in the “absolutely not” category. I love Starburst jelly beans because all flavors are acceptable and I don’t have to throw any away like I would as a kid with the black ones.

I am really enjoying the box of Good & Plenty my H bought yesterday! But also love black jelly beans.

At least you didn’t finish them yesterday. Although I love them, I rarely buy them because once I start eating them I have trouble stopping.
