[QUOTE=Key Lime Guy]  
Both Starburst and Brach’s-Smuckers have solved the age-old problem of green beeing the ugly stepsister. Instead of lime-bleh, they’ve gone with a delicious sweet-tart green apple.

I refuse to buy non name-brand jellybeans because a lot of cheap jellybeans go one step worse than ‘green flavor’… _spearmint_. :eek:

[QUOTE=the keek]  
I think Brach’s used to make them and the ones that were clearish-white with pink speckles were the ones I liked best.

You mean Satan’s testicles? 😛 Augh, just augh. My sister bought me a bag of those for Easter and I had to practically choke them down before she left the room.

On a helpful note, I also suggest the Harry Potter inspired Bernie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. I love Starburst jelly beans and have been lucky enough to be finding them in larger quantities lately but I must warn you, stay away from the nonoriginal flavors. It was this sort of smoothie/taffy sort of flavoured ones I recently tried and they were terrible. I ate maybe three and threw them away.

I never really liked jelly beans until I got a free sampler from Jelly Belly in the mail, and I loved those ever since. I just bought a 4-pound container of Jelly Belly beans from Costo a few days ago, good times, good times.
