Jelly Belly Sunkist Pink Grapefruit Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Sunkist Pink Grapefruit Jelly Beans taste like grapefruit all right. I mean, the flavor stays with you for a bit and if you like grapefruit then this is your jam.

I find these to be solid but not great.

Jelly Belly French Vanilla Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly French Vanilla Jelly Beans don't look like the ice cream they are supposed to taste like. They do like like top notch ice cream that has vanilla bean in it but french vanilla has more eggs than normal vanilla giving it a distinctive color.

I still think the name is a cheap shot, and the flavor is better left in ice cream.

Jelly Belly Red Apple Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Red Apple Jelly Beans don't really taste like apple but then I'm not even sure "red" is a breed of apple. I don't know what I was expecting with these but I guess it should have been more apple flavored. 

Jelly Belly has a lot of apple flavors and I don't like any of them.

Jelly Belly Strawberry Cheesecake Jelly Beans

 Jelly Belly Strawberry Cheesecake Jelly Beans need more cheesecake. There is enough strawberry but it could be less candy and more fruit but all and all these are just a disappointment.

Jelly Belly Top Banana Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Top Banana Jelly Beans are less banana then the other banana flavor I tried. I don't get the point of them. I think they're a little redundant. Not bad but just there.

Jelly Belly Island Punch Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Island Punch Jelly Beans are surprisingly sweet at first try but that doesn't last long. I still don't know what island punch should taste like but given the color it's plumb.

Jelly Belly Licorice Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Licorice Jelly Beans taste like licorice. All licorice is black by the way. The red stuff is normally cherry flavored. 

How much you like these will depend on how you feel about licorice which I have always liked.

Jelly Belly Juicy Pear Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Juicy Pear Jelly Beans taste like I remember Pear Jelly Beans tasting like. I don't think they taste much like pear but then it's more a texture thing. 

They have a flavor you really should try. I never really knew how I feel about them, but they are there own thing.

Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans are the best jelly beans I ever had. I remember first trying them in the 90's in a jar from Costco and loving them then. I still love them now. They taste just like buttered popcorn and sugar.

Jelly Belly Sizzling Cinnamon Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Sizzling Cinnamon Jelly Beans are like cinnamon jelly beans. I don't know why you would want them stronger but they're not. I'm not big on cinnamon candy but these are not the strongest I've had. I don't know how to feel about that really.

Jelly Belly Dr. Pepper Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Dr. Pepper Jelly Beans are nothing like Dr. Pepper and they won't put a spring in your step. I mean, these things are just sad. Jelly Belly was sleeping on the job when they made these.

Jelly Belly Mixed Berry Smoothie Jelly Beans


Before I got air conditioning I had smoothies very often in the summer because they were cold and it was hot. These Jelly Belly Mixed Berry Smoothie Jelly Beans are nothing like those. This should have more of a tart flavor and be more berry. This was mostly yogurt flavored and it was none fat yogurt but I would have made this with more berry.

Jelly Belly Green Apple Jelly Beans


 It could be because they were too old but my Jelly Belly Green Apple Jelly Beans didn't taste like apple. I mean, no apple flavor at all. I was like, where is the apple? 

I should have gotten to these sooner.

Swedish Fish Jelly Beans


Someone got the idea of taking Swedish Fish and making them into Jelly Beans. They taste about the same but don't feel the same in your mouth. They have that low quality jelly bean texture that really puts me off. 

I think this has something to do with the idea that jelly beans have a coating that keeps them from sticking together and that changes the makeup of the candy. 

I wouldn't get these over the original. The normal fish are better.

Jelly Belly Sunkist Orange Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Sunkist Orange Jelly Beans need more orange. I mean, they just don't taste very orange but they do leave you with an orange aftertaste.

Jelly Belly A & W Root Beer Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly A & W Root Beer Jelly Beans taste like soda candy. Root Beer soda candy but I've had more faithful re-creations of the flavor. They aren't bad but not as good as the real thing.

Jelly Belly Bubble Gum Jelly Beans


 For those of you who like bubble gum but wish it didn't last as long and made you fatter there are Jelly Belly Bubble Gum Jelly Beans. I mean, this stuff is spot on. It was just like pink bubble gum. 

I don't understand why you wouldn't just chew bubble gum, but you do you man.

Jelly Belly Sunkist Tangerine Jelly Beans

My Jelly Belly Sunkist Tangerine Jelly Beans have a best by date of 2022 so I'm not surprised they aren't that great. They start out strong but quickly fade to a lackluster flavor. It's like you start out with tangerine and ended up with a big wad of pith.

Jelly Belly Sunkist Lemon Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Sunkist Lemon Jelly Beans taste like lemon drops. I'm not the biggest fan of this flavor but it takes me back to my youth when I used to get lemon drops and life was good. 

Eating these is like eating little drops of sunshine. I love them.

Jelly Belly Blueberry Jelly Beans


 Jelly Belly Blueberry Jelly Beans aren't big on flavor but then are blueberries? These don't offend me at all but they don't taste like something I would want more of. If I were a kid and sugar was sugar I would love these, but I'm not.
