We love jelly beans. Introduced in 1976, the eight original jelly bean flavors include Very Cherry, Root Beer, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Lemon, Licorice and Grape. Today, the Very Cherry flavor still reigns supreme as the favorite flavor for all ages in the United States. There was a short period of time (1998-2003) when Buttered Popcorn jelly beans won the popular vote. These are some of our “Dream Jelly Beans” as well as a template for anyone to imagine and illustrate their own dream jelly bean flavors.
