In the 1970s, the life of jelly beans was extremely limited and boring. Jelly beans came in mixed packages of the same old flavors. Remember the licorice jelly bean that everyone always left behind? Ugh. When Jelly Belly came around in 1976, jelly beans really became a thing. Jelly Belly was the first company to create new flavors of jelly beans and sell the flavors individually. They invented the gourmet jelly beans and were the first to create jelly bean varities using natural flavors. Jelly Belly quickly took off and the rest is history. Ronald Reagan was known for munching on Jelly Bellies both in the white house and on Air Force One. He even sent Jelly Belly beans into space aboard the challenger!
Today Jelly Belly offers over 50 flavors of jelly beans, which can be found at candy stores, super markets, and Jelly Belly stores around the country.
