I just opened a huge bag o’ Jelly Beans. Cappuccino is my favourite. What’s yours? Please don’t reply if it’s peanut butter ---

I like watermelon the best. And butter popcorn, because it feels…wrong…eating it. ---

Champagne and Rasberry Jelly Belly’s mixed together are my favs. And contrary to popular belief, peanut butter and grape Jelly Bellys do “not” taste like a PB&J sandwich. At least IMHO. ---

Grapefruit when I can find it. And those jellybelly recipes are pretty dandy (ok, maybe the PBJ one desn’t work) especially the Black Forest Cake combo. :smack, smack:: ---

In order of preference, and they must be JellyBellys (No off-brands, please. I can tell): very cherry, watermelon, tangerine, green-apple, bubblegum, root beer, crushed pineapple, and lemon. I hate (in descending order of loathing): jalapeno, cappuccino, licorice, coconut, sizzling cinnamon, cinnamon, chocolate pudding, pina colada, peanut butter, top banana, grape jelly, and toasted marshmallow. I miss the ice mint flavor. \ For those of you who have not yet taken the tour… [http://www.jellybelly.com/](http://www.jellybelly.com/) ---

Buttered popcorn. It’s just so _weird_–buttery and savory and not sweet, but a candy. The mind boggles. The pear ones are good So is the cappuccino (sp.) Watermelon Margarita Guava There’s a grocery store near me that sells them in bulk and separated by flavor. One can be evil and buy a whole bag of nothing but buttered popcorn and coffee jelly bellies. ---

I _love_ Jelly Bellys! My favorites are orange, tangerine, pear, margarita, pina colada, Dr Pepper. I hate licorice and jalapeno. We like to play a game where you close your eyes and someone puts one in your mouth and you have to guess the flavor. It’s harder than it sounds! Some flavors are just a little odd, like popcorn.
