Jellybelly makes gourmet jellybeans. They have lots of flavors. They are currently running a contest for people to name the newest and hottest flavor. The only probelm is they don’t show people’s guesses. So I thought I would ask it here in MHO. They have flavors like Jalepeno, Popcorn, Liquors What would be your suggestion for a new jellybean flavor? My vote would be for butterscotch. I don’t like the popcorn one. It is too strange to feel goo in my mouth with popcorn flavor ---

Are we supposed to invent new flavours or identify exiting ones? If the former, I’d like a marmalade sandwich flavour one please. ---

Here’s a list of their 50 official flavors: [http://www.jellybelly.com/About/Menu.htm](http://www.jellybelly.com/About/Menu.htm) My vote for a new flavor would have been waterelon, but they already have it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by fotosbyfrank \* > \*\*Dog?? > > Broccoli? > > Smegma??? \*\* Ahhh, you’d want Bertie Bott’s then (also done by Jelly Belly). They have wonderful choices, including: Sardine, Black Pepper, Grass, Booger, Dirt, Earwax, and of course Vomit. No word on the smegma bean yet. Surprisingly, they taste just like they’re supposed to. ---

Beer flavor. Maybe hook up with Sam Adams and come out with a Boston Lager bean. ---

My dad just picked up a bag of mixed flavors, and to my surprise it has Red Apple and Caramel Apple and Plum. Holy crap those first two are good. I think they should do more flavors based on alcohol. Midori, Amaretto, Sex on the Beach, Jack and Coke, Kamikaze. It’d be jelly belly for grownups! ---

I say _more_ because I’m pretty sure they already have a flavor called Margarita. ---

Thai iced tea. Or maybe chai. ---

Clove–although masala chai could be very nice. ---

Tobacco flavor - maybe it will help cure folks of smoking! ---

Nooooooo! I jsut looked at their list, and they took away my favourite flavor! No more Champagne Punch! It was the best! Damn it, that’s my suggestion for a new flavor. ---

No, **Pear** is the best. No discretion! I vote for a colorless, transparent jelly belly. Call it “air”. ---

> [@](#): > > I vote for a colorless, transparent jelly belly. Call it “air”. But what would it taste like? Or would it just not have the chewy center, only the candy coating? And I agree, juicy pear is DELISH. Anyone else think the Peanut Butter one tastes funky? ---

Pear? You people like the _pear?!_. I’m a JellyBelly fanatic, but I can’t stand the Juicy Pear flavor. We definitely need some kind of tea flavor. Either chai, as Interrobang suggested above, or just plain southern Sweet Tea. ---

Hmm, I dunno. I’m liking the idea of butterscotch. Or maybe caramel, by itself. ---
