My husband got this mega jar of jelly beans for his birthday. It reminds me of those competitions where you guess how many jelly beans are in the jar to win it. Seriously, who would want to win a big jar of jelly beans, each of which has been man-handled by the person counting them into the jar, one by one?
The real guessing competition should be what bacteria can be found on the beans. My money is on E Coli. Ew.Pretty much every fruit is accounted for as well as popular cocktails (including pina colada and strawberry daiquiri) and soft drinks such as Sunkist, root beer and Doctor Pepper!
There are also some pretty unusual flavours including buttery popcorn, toasted marshmallow and caramel corn.
I'm not sure how they come up with the flavours. Is it someone's job just to think up flavours?
If that was my job, I'd introduce international flavour jelly beans based on national dishes. I do admit some of the ideas below sound gross but I still reckon there'd be markets in the patriots, tourists and the curious.
Australia - Vegemite; lamington; meat pie and sauce; Twisties; Tim Tam.
Japan - wasabi; soy sauce; teriyaki.
USA - BBQ sauce; cheeseburger.
Germany - frankfurter; beer.
France - various cheeses; champagne; chocolate croissant; pate.
Dutch - marijuana (that'd be addictive!); waffles; that tasty mayo that goes on their hot chips.
Italian - pizza, Bolognese, espresso, garlic bread.
Scotland - haggis, fish supper.
India - butter chicken, korma, lentil.
I think you should copy right your flavours
