1. I don't like the buttered popcorn either. I usually will buy the whole
bag of strawberry dacquiri's when I can find them separated out, because I don't like searching for the only flavor that I like. :hi:

6. My husband and I spent half an hour last night sifting through a pile of
them, with a flavor chart. We've yet to encounter a jalapeno flavored one.

2. If you ever visit the Jelly Belly factory, buy the misshapen ones.

They taste the same, and your stomach doesn't know they are horribly disfigured. They're a lot cheaper than the "normal" ones.

Edit - black licorice = :puke:

13. I would LOVE to go there!
That sounds like fun! I love Unwrapped on the Food Network, because I think it's very neat to see how things are made.

22. It's in Fairfield, CA.
I think there's one somewhere else, but I went to the one in CA. Very interesting.

14. I can't figure out which one's pink grapefruit.
The color chart didn't indicate very well and a few of them looked similar.

5. I don't know...
...I thought soap-flavored was pretty bad. I didn't get up the nerve to try vomit-flavored.

My favorites are green apple and lemon. Plum sounds intriguing...thanks for the recommendation!

9. Soap and vomit!
That's scary, because most of the flavors are amazingly accurate!:scared:

20. Dirt and earthworm were the others...
...and I didn't want any part of that. JellyBelly made flavors for the Harry Potter "Bertie Bott's Beans" movie promotion - I think you can still find boxes here and there!

Yes, it tasted amazingly accurate. I had my mouth washed out with soap when very young...

7. Uh-oh!
mr. swim got a whole box of buttered popcorn in his Christmas stocking. He hasn't opened them yet.

(I'm just sticking my head up above an evil mountain of work :cry:)

17. S'okay, your love of the evil buttered popcorn is offset by your other
redeeming qualitites. As long as you don't also foremost enjoy licorice and chocolate pudding jelly bellies, I think you're still ok.

10. I think "buttered popcorn" flavor is the best!
Yeah, I dunno, maybe I'm just weird... Juicy pear is one of my favorites, though, along with green apple and blueberry.

Licorice is my least favorite flavor, but I'm not that big on any kind of black licorice.
