ROFL!!!!

They make a great jelly bean. You can actually tell the flavors apart unlike most jelly beans which look and taste like colored sugar.

In a previous life, the company which I worked for in Japan represented Jelly Belly. Their people are as great as the product and, in the land where everything has to be world class to compete, they did well.

I have at least one pound of Jelly Belly’s sweets on my desk at present

I buy them 3.5 pounds at a time on line.

Go have another diet Pepsi, loser.

You see, without jelly beans, American would not have won the Cold War. Maybe. Probably.

I'm really tired of this informal snark mode that seems to be in vogue with many so-called "journalists". It's tiresome and just too cute. Underlying this mode of writing is a smug sense of superiority.

Still bitter, after all these years...

• denied the existence of AIDS,

• ramped up the drug war,

• slashed Great Society social services to ribbons,

• and watched the Soviet Union implode.

Which one's he most upset about? Was he even alive when communism got curbstomped by Reagan?

Lastly, little wonder he's writing about munchies, almost all his other articles are pro-dope. Heh, we see why he made off with pounds of rejects. [I would have too, but I'm not a jellybean nosher...]

[Reeses]

They’re softer and more flavorful if you nuke them for 12 seconds. Reagan would approve.

[Exeter]

Based on his scribblings the “dirt” and “vomit” flavors would seem to be the author’s favorites...
I don’t even like jelly beans and I love Jelly Bellies. In a class by itself, superior quality, others are just pale imitators...Hey! No wonder this weasel compared Reagan to these confections.

[NorthMountain]

1) I think the guy is homosexual.

2) Based on that, I won’t ‘go there’ regarding what his favorite flavors might be.

[Starstruck]

Better to eat Jelly Bellys than to go through life with them in your ball sack.

[RedWing9]

Literally just finished my, almost daily, intake of a handful of Belly Flops.

What an arse this guy is!

This irritating little twit prolly had his ego bruised when given the assignment to write about jelly beans. He was just like, sooooo wanting to write about something more important, like all the varieties and flavors of ‘medical’ marijuana available in Northern California. Prolly had the little road trip all planned out, down to the last detail of what footwear he and his boyfriend would be wearing.

I loathe the ‘clever’, smug, and self rightious attitude these dope head hipsters cop.

[W.]

Yep, he's another one of those little punks that had it drilled into their tiny minds how special they are. [They're the ones who flip out the best when they don't get their way.]

You can spot their greasy snark writing style from a mile away. Never mind their aroma. [Patchouli?]

The words 98-pound fruit bat spring to mind upon viewing his picture. Gross!

[tacticalogic]

Looks like Woody Allen on estrogen.
