Will never forget the time I ate 8 of the horrible flavoured beans at once for free subway
Big oof
The "dog food" and "baby wipes" ones I think take the prize for most horrible! Haha!
How did that work out for you?
@@jons.6216 Grass clippings or whatever actually has a nice taste but only for 1 or 2
@@adambonesaw3689 tooth paste
A neat thing to find in some places is that Jelly Belly doesn't throw away messed up jelly beans. They package them into bags called "Belly flops"
And they're cheaper than the perfect ones
I did not know that🤯❤
They're a really good deal is you go to the factory and visit the outlet store after taking a tour.
i live near a factory so i thought they were normal growing up
I buy them on a regular basis
I remember a marketing rep for jellybelly explaining you can combine two different flavors like coconut and pineapple to make piñacolada. I tried a bunch of concoctions after that.
The big gift box used to come with a little recipe pamphlet that suggested combinations. My favorite is still 1 strawberry with 2 chocolate pudding. If you really want a thrill throw a toasted marshmallow in there, too.
Some of those combos were transcendental
It is cool you can combine flavors with JellyBelly. For the most part I can take or leave jelly beans. Save for one JellyBelly flavor. Buttered Popcorn, I don't know what it is but I love the flavor of those jelly beans, lol.
I found that out by accident and made koolaid lol
I recall the back of the packages in the early 2000s had a few recommended combinations of beans.
I remember eating the puke flavored jelly bean. I said it tasted like pepperoni pizza. My friends thought I was crazy. Then I watched a video about how they made the flavors and they made the puke one after a failed pepperoni pizza attempt, only they also added some citric acid. Vindication!
Pepperoni pizza flavored Combos also taste like pizza that was puked up.
My mom has been sponsored by Jelly Belly for almost 30 years now. She’s a professional clown and works most of their special events. I grew up performing with here at the California factory. She has custom made magic tricks based around Jelly Belly candy. I love the factory, amd the family that runs the company. They have always been so incredible to my family. There are a,ways Jelly Belly jelly beans at every family gathering.
Yo, thats actually really cool!
Great story… thanks!
@@theminnesotavikings haven’t heard that joke before…
🤡
Awesome, I wonder if she was there when my sons had a school field trip there in the late 90s⁉️ Tysmfs 🤗
Their Bean Boozled boxes are literally the best drinking game in existance
drinking game???
@@elucidator1277 If you eat a bad flavored candy then you wash it down with some alcohol. Sometimes that will make the flavor worse, but it also makes the game more fun.
Ugh. I remember eating lawn clippings flavor
Barf flavor was friggin nasty. lol
@@djhenyo That sounds fun. haha
I live in the town where the Jelly Belly factory is located. They do tours, have a cafe with jelly bean-shaped pizza and recently opened a museum which covers a lot of this history.
There's something very Willy Wonka about the mental image the factory tour conjures up.
It used to be in Kenosha Wisconsin but they recently closed, did they move it somewhere else or have there always been multiple locations for tours?
@Trome1200 it was pleasant prairie technically but the one he's talking about is in California. The one in Wisconsin was fun but the management was horrible that's the main reason it closed because it was slowly failing but covid killed it
@@nick1615 yeah Pleasant Prairie is the city but less people are familiar with that 😂
Thank you for the fact check.
I live in a town near the facility in North Chicago, IL… and, uh, not the same for me. 😂
My favorite Jelly Belly flavor is pear. I don't even like real pears, but every time I eat a pear Jelly Belly, I'm absolutely gobsmacked that a jellybean can not only taste exactly like a real pear, but somehow mimic its TEXTURE, too.
MINE TOOOOO!
My favorite has to be toasted marshmallow. I think them getting the taste so close really helped them out. So many people hate a certain candy because it taste nothing like how the company that owns the candy claims it does, yet Jelly Belly tastes just like it says it should.
It's amazing how close their flavors are to the real things. Even their gross flavors like earwax and vomit are scary accurate.
@@JakeLovesSteak I can’t say I’ve ever tasted real ear wax so I wouldn’t be the best judge of that flavor but if they ever made a crippling depression jelly bean I’d be first in line to help them test it.
My favorite is buttered popcorn
Juicy pear is as good as eating a juicy pear
Toasted marshmallow is my favorite too! Buttered popcorn is a close second.
Every time you do one of these food videos, I'm compelled to go out and buy some. I can't tell you the last time I had jelly beans, but now I have a craving
Not gonna lie, it was kind of a jumpscare to see Comic Drake in the comments.
ITS COMIC DRAKE.
Pssssssssst. Amazon has them.
@@tangentyoung5633 Psssst. I don't support Amazon. I'm planning on getting them from my local mom and pop candy store by the lake.
I just bought a packet today, in no small part due to this video.
I live about an hour away from the Fairfield factory and walking through the factory tour is one of the best smelling experiences ever. Those beans are incredibly high quality and so much care is put into them.
I had the good fortune to race as a professional cyclist for the Jelly Belly racing team for 2 years. They were the longest running sponsor in the sport and the candy giveaways made us hugely popular with fans. One thing I learned there was that "Bean Boozled" was its own viral success with TH-cam reaction videos. I can't remember the stat exactly but I think by 2017 it had grown to be something crazy like 20% of their business. Great company and great supporter of sport and community.
When I was a kid my favorite part of the drag races was the Jolly Rancher stagecoach. After their exhibition wheelstand run they went down the track throwing candy into the stands. So I can definitely see kids waiting for your support car to come rolling through.
@@9HighFlyer9 Yep always the biggest cheer, right up there with Tour de France winning teams. I personally got shipped about 100lbs of sample beans a year and it was my job to give them away. Im sure the local dentists loved JB too ;)
They are truly gourmet and have always lived up to the hype. If anything they are underappreciated. Being able to mix and match from separate containers to get only the flavors you want is amazing.
The ones from Trader Joes are better, and they're also better FOR you. Jelly Belly's uses artificial colors, while Trader's Joes only uses natural colors. They also only use natural flavors, and rely less on HFCS for sweetening.
In full disclosure, I haven't eaten them since the late '90s lol.
Or just going to a place that sells them in bulk and buying 600 of a single flavor because I have a problem
My all-time favorite confectionery. Juicy Pear, Sizzling Cinnamon, Red Apple, and Dr. Pepper…doesn’t get much better than that.
In my home country of Venezuela, Jelly Belly were pretty much rich people candy you could only find in rich people supermarkets coming out of dispensers. And...they were amazing! My favorite flavor has always been Island Punch.
As of late I've been using Sports Beans for fighting game tournaments and I must say they really do work.
I remember once visiting the jelly belly factory. They say that they spend a lot of time experimenting with flavor until they get the jelly bean flavor just right. Like, I guess instead of just something that tastes approximately "cherry" they make sure that eating the jelly bean and eating a cherry both give you pretty much the same flavor. The blueberry flavor that they make is probably the only candy I've ever had that actually reminds me of a blueberry, rather than some abstract "blue" candy flavor like "blue raspberry" or some other made up one.
I took my hubby to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, Calif and he was amazed at how fast they are made. We, of course, had to buy 2 bags of their rejects.
This video made me realize that I haven't had Jelly Belly beans in quite a while. There's a Beanboozled box in the pantry, but no one has bothered to open it. Maybe tonight's the night.
I don't really have a favorite flavor. I like the recipes, where you'll take one or two of one flavor and one of another, like lime with creme soda. They're just fun to play with.
Jelly bellys are my absolute favorite candy. I've been obsessed with the juicy pear flavor forever. Idk how they managed to make it seem genuinely juicy.
Pear and peach arey favorites too, the pear tastes so fruity
Jelly Bellies are the reason I started making my own fruit preserves. The flavors are much more intense.
(:
Just confirming, you mean you make like a strawberry jam or whatever, and sub some strawberry jellybeans in place of some of the sugar for an extra flavour boost?
@@Thrillhou
No, but that is an interesting substitute for vanilla. I will definitely try that.
(:
@@ardiris2715 can you suggest any good books that discuss making preserves? I also want to make fruit gels.
@@gyllenspetzfamily7993
Essentially, throw berries and some sugar in a pot over a low heat. The heat will release the juice. Just stir every few minutes. When it is as thick as you want, it's done. Strawberries, about 45 minutes.
Some lemon juice will preserve it beyond three days, and some vanilla gives it that candy taste.
Search TH-cam for "making preserves". Blackberries are the easiest.
(:
@@ardiris2715 ok thanks I'll try it for Easter!
The Jelly Belly factory was a favorite destination for our kids' school field trips and scout activities. The kids would ride the train around the factory, see how the jelly bellies and other candies were made, lots of artwork made from jelly bellies, and the saving the best for last -- the free samples at the end of the tour. But this came to an end during the pandemic, as they closed the Pleasant Prairie WI factory in 2020. I don't think they do anything at the North Chicago factory. California is still open, if you happen to be close to that location.
Of course, the goal of the free tours was for you to buy stuff. Our favorite was getting the big bags of Belly Flops. Large bags of beans that did not meet quality control. Shapes were wrong, mismatched colors, etc... Tasted the same. Best thing was that these bags were at pretty good discount.
I know the California one its a place tourists would stop for a break in Fairfield, CA before they head to their main destinations in San Francisco, Wine Country, and Sacramento.
@@blogdesign7126it was a favorite stop for my family when going from Reno NV to Six Flags in Vallejo.
I grew up in one of the towns near Fairfield, and I still haven’t been to the factory 😂😂😂
thank you very much for sharing your story.
And now they're being dwarfed by the Haribo plant up the road.
I was trying to obtain buttered popcorn for my girlfriend as a gift and let me tell you, Jelly Belly was one of the best customer service experiences I ever had. Love them!
Always thought the watermelon ones were the most clever with the green shells and red insides! In the 80s they used to have apricot which were great! Not long after that they seemed to do away with putting those super potent light blue mint ones in the assortments!
Yeah, I can think of no other food product that is supposed to mimic another that comes anywhere as close to "accurate" as Jelly Belly beans. Can't say I have a favorite flavor; pretty much anything but licorice and I'll be happy! (My mom had a deal for my brothers and me growing up. She would get us big boxes of jelly beans but we had to give her all the black licorice - which was great cause none of us liked that flavor!)
Determination,Inovation and consistency is one of many things that made Jelly belly great.
And no leverage buyouts.
Thats 3 things
Personally, I like the taste.
@@AZtronics 💀
Never was a fan of jelly beans in general. The only time I ever recall buying any Jelly Belly beans was for Thanksgiving 2013, along with a bag of popcorn, a loaf of bread, and a bag of pretzels to recreate the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving day snack plate. Lol
My favourite flavour is the pear flavour! it somehow has the same grainy texture as an actual pear. Wild.
I loved Jelly Belly. I remember going to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, California a few times as a preteen as my family often commuted between San Francisco and Sacramento. I loved the root beer and Dr. Pepper flavors. I also remember doing the Bean Boozled challenge once (and never again). I ended up eating the "canned dog food" flavored bean and that taste stayed in my mouth for 4 days despite the constant brushing teeth and mouth wash. Scarred for life!
Have you ever tried the vomit one? It's terrifyingly accurate.
@@JakeLovesSteak thankfully I have not
Its amazing how they made the Krispy Kreme beans taste like they were actually fried.
Lemon Lime has always been my favorite.
I have a White House shaped Jelly Belly container on the desk in my office and a clear Jelly Belly jar in my kitchen.
Fun fact. George Harrison loved Jelly Beans. His sister Tells a story about when the Beatles were first starting to get popular in the USA she used to throw jellybeans onto the stage at George to make him laugh.
Jelly beans are my favorite. My grandma always had jelly bellies on her counter. The day they ran out hit me hard
I'll never forget with these, my mom's a teacher and would use candies as rewards in the classroom and when she asked what the kids wanted, they said jelly beans, so my dad got a costco sized container of jelly bellys and the kids DID NOT LIKE THEM. One was actually crying when he asked "do we have to finish them?" Clearly those kids were not fans lol
The 7up line of soda flavored jelly beans are a personal favorite. If they ever come up with a sprite flavored jelly bean, I'd buy it.
unlikely since sprite is owned by coke and 7up is Keureg, the same as Dr.Pepper. also, what would be the difference between 7up and Sprite?
Buttered Popcorn and Juicy Pear are easily my favorites but yes, they earned their reputation, it's well deserved.
Yes popcorn !
This is really fascinating. Thank you for producing such excellent content. I never knew how difficult it was for Jelly Belly to shift from Candy Corn to Jelly Beans and the fact that their brand name is associated with quality Jelly Beans is cool.

@@DudeCommando Beep. Bop. Boop.
It's been so long since I had Jelly Bean. I think Green Apple was my favorite, but I know for sure that they were my childhood favorite. There's just hundreds of flavors to try and I don't think I could ever pick a definite favorite. 😅
I love this topic! I find it so interesting that my favorite candy has such deep roots. While pancake is a great flavor, I personally love Juicy Pear the most. I’m not sure why but it hits different.
They used to have a jelly belly factory/distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wi. It was a fun destination for friends and family who had kids from out of town. They threatened to close it around 2017, then changed their mind when Haribo announced they were opening a factory up the street from them, and then suddenly changed their mind during the pandemic, and just ended everything. Haribo is either opening soon, or just opened.... The gummy bears guys.
I thought they were going to keep it open forever and ever when I went on the tour in about 2018, and they had added a small batch test kitchen to the end of the tour where they could work on ideas and get immediate diverse public feedback. Now it's just another empty warehouse with the Jelly Belly Red/yellow stripes around the top of the building.
COCONUT is BY FAR my favorite Jelly Belly flavor 🤤🤤🤤🤤 But I've never even HEARD of the Pancake & Maple Syrup flavored ones! Thats wild!!
My favorite is the popcorn mix with blueberry to make “blueberry muffin”
That pancakes flavor must be a fairly recent addition, I’d never heard of it. My favorite is probably Orange Sherbert or Pina Colada. Buttered Popcorn is a good one too, especially if you combine it with Blueberry to make that blueberry muffin combo that they recommend.
My family used to visit the Jelly Belly factory when we’d take ski trips to Tahoe.
My favorite flavor is green apple.
I fondly remember Jelly Belly because I live in the area near their factory in Fairfield, California. I have taken countless free tours of the Jelly Belly factory where they show you the history of the candy, the machines that make them, and tons of art made out of jelly beans! My favorite part was the free small pack of jelly beans you get at the end of the tour. The gift shop is enormous with every flavor and more. There's also a section just for fudge. My dad's favorite thing to buy was their "belly flops," which are 2-lb bags of jelly beans that weren't high-quality enough to sell (e.g., shaped wrong). Overall, I'm a big Jelly Belly fan and I think they deserve the credit they receive if not more! My favorite flavor has to be buttered popcorn because it's a perfect mashup of flavors and it's not too sweet.
If you're ever in California, go visit their manufacturing plant. The tour is so much fun. And the cafe is quite good. And there's wine tasting. I've actually gone three times and loved all of them.
favorite flavor? I love cotton candy and cream soda (but not together)
I've gotten to visit the Jelly Belly Factory in California and it was so cool. I love the lemon ones.
I sat and ate a bag of em WHILE I watched this and a few other videos on Jelly Belly and how the company started and so on...
I enjoyed that...
I love these things. I've been to the factory in CA twice and to the warehouse in WI. Too bad the warehouse has been closed to the public.
I love Jelly Belly. I used to live in Cleveland, home of the biggest candy warehouse in the United States, B. A. Sweeties. They have an entire section of a wall dedicated to a Jelly Belly dispenser, separated by flavor so you can make your own mix. My personal favorites are Berry Blue, Very Cherry and Sizzling Cinnamon
I have never liked Sizzling Cinnamon. Sensitive tongue.
lots of candy shops have an entire wall of Jelly Belly dispensers... hell, even my local WinCo has a couple dozen of them.
when I was a kid, it blew my freakin mind when I bit into a green watermelon jelly belly and it was red on the inside 🤯
Buttered popcorn is my personal favorite. Amazingly accurate taste.
Thank you David Klein! Your jelly beans were the greatest.
When I was a little kid jelly beans were the filler my parents would put in Easter eggs which more often than not ended up in the trash (or saved as the candy of last resort when all the other Easter candy had run out). How times have changed.
Did you have those giant (like 3x the size of a normal jelly bean) ones that were somehow gritty and softer?
@@tylerboothman4496 Yes! Those things were softer and the "filling" inside felt like they took shortcuts when making and didn't heat up the sugar enough so it almost had a crunch to it when you bit down.
Jelly Belly jelly beans are my favorite brand of jelly beans. There's no comparison on quality and flavor variety. I would love to visit with their R&D to see how they hone in on a product flavor.
I remember that Jelly Belly had a huge wall length ad in the Travis AFB PAX terminal. And despite only being a few miles away I never got around to visiting the factory.
Jelly belly is legit good. I haven't tried them a lot but I've never been disappointed
I've toured one of their factories before! It was really fun :D
I’m canadian and I think if you had the time and energy to cover Giant Tiger it would be amazing. I would love to know why I’m so goddamn addicted. Our city is getting our second giant tiger (Sault Ste Marie Ontario) and it’s kinda bizarre. We had two Walmarts for like 2 seconds or so and it didn’t work out. I know giant tiger is a lot smaller and lower quality but frig Canadians love our GT boutique!!!
I love Jelly Belly so much to the point where I hope they never go out of business. I've tried every jelly bean out there and I have yet to find one that's better. The problem that I'm having is that they're getting harder and harder to find. A lot of candy shops that did distribution are closed and now most retail companies don't sell individual flavors anymore. Plus they don't have most of their big name licensing like Disney and Hello Kitty. Maybe things changed but something tells me they've peaked.
I love that they seem like a carefree fun loving company willing to try whatever flavor someone thinks of.
Imagine the guy in the lab that’s able to say “Yep, that tastes like a used bandage.” 🤔👍
Fave time of the week when Company Man posts!
It's the halftime show for my workweek, posting as it does around lunchtime. 2 1/2 days down, 2 1/2 days to go.
I live in the town where the Jelly Belly factory is. We finally made the big time with our own Company Man episode!
In my book, margarita flavored isn't only the best Jelly Belly, but the best non-chocolate candy, period.
Nice video! Yes! Jelly Belly! Definitely my go-to when I visit mall candy stores (yes they still exist!). My favorite flavor would have to be the sour orange one from the Jelly Belly Sours set; the sours in general are the ones I go for. This is an interesting transition for the company too from one type of seasonal candy to another associated with a completely different holiday. Come to think of it though the big candy companies do make seasonal candy for every holiday that has a candy that goes with it.
I just love these! I am also a fan of the licorice flavor, but hate the buttered popcorn one. I'm just weird I guess.
Starburst jelly beans around Easter are the GOAT among jelly beans. However I admire Jelly Belly as a novelty item.
We went to the Jelly Belly factory in San Francisco and they offer an amazing tour there- I highly recommend it!
oh my god i actually got it recommended 2 minutes after uploading
1 minute for me. Algo is crazy
Back in August of 2017, I met Herman G. Rowland, the chairman of jelly belly. We got started talking about cars in Monterey and he said “wait here”. He went to his Ferrari, grabbed a box of bean boozled and a bag of not yet released Krispy Kreme jelly beans and he even gave me one of his business cards. It was shaped like a jelly bean and I still have it. Super cool guy.
The buttered popcorn and coconut beans go so good together
I think David Klein was genius to come up with the name Jelly Belly and market his invention. I think he just wanted Goelitz to produce them for his company named Jelly Belly at that time.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and the location 90 minutes east of SF in Fairfield, CA is their corporate headquarters. I went there 9 years ago for the tour and it was awesome to see how they make the beans! They also have a huge jelly belly store on site with pretty much every flavor they make in bulk. If you come to the SF Bay Area, it’s a must see! You’ll only spend a few hours there, but it’s cool to be a part of history!
The Bertie Botts Every-Flavor Beans are a nice way to end up with a candy dish of nothing but pepper, earwax, and vomit flavored jelly beans after all the edible ones have been consumed. They really didn't have to stick with what had been mentioned in the books up to that point...
I'll eat the pepper over sour apple or coconut any day.
It baffles me how accurate those flavors are.
I remember watching an episode of "Unwrapped" that featured the Bernie Botts beans. They made it very clear that the vomit, earwax, and grass-flavored beans were among the very few beans that were NOT made using all-natural ingredients.
I am a lifelong addict of jelly belly jellybeans. My favorite flavor is so hard to find in stores or online, Berry Blue. But I love it so much.
Amazing video, perfectly covered!
A good rule of thumb when you're in the candy corn business is that you'll find a lot more customers manufacturing...well...almost anything else.
And to answer the question posed in the outro, I'm one of those weirdos who loves artificially grape flavored anything, and that includes Jelly Belly beans.
Living the Bay Area on school field trips we would go to the jelly belly factory in Fairfield. There is a huge jelly bean on the sign as you pass it on the freeway. it was SO FUN my favorite field trip lol. I wouldn’t think they are doing it now! But I definitely taking my son there soon!!!
True I been to the Fairfield, CA one and its the one I been to when I was a kid on Field Trips.
Looking at my bag of Brach’s and watching this has me wondering if I should give Jelly Belly a try
Yes. You should.
I think I’ve tried the buttered popcorn flavor before and it was delicious.
Hey Company Man, could you do a video discussing the differences between Thuisbezorgd/JustEat/Deliferando, Delivaroo, and Uber Eats in Europe? I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Jelly Belly has hundreds of flavours! Many of them are brand-exclusive. Too many flavours to try before I die!
Jelly Belly is my absolute favorite candy! Their flavors are so intense and accurate. I remember when they used to print "recipes" on the back of the bag. Blueberry and buttered popcorn together to make a blueberry muffin was my favorite one.
i love trying out the recipes to get flavor combos with different bean flavors!
This is my favorite video you have made so far mate!
I also like how they put out advertisements and packaging notes on how you can combine flavors to make stuff like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or various other combos.
I was poor growing up, and Jelly Bellies were a little pricey, so I don't have a favorite, but generally I liked the fruity and soda flavored ones.
Great broadcast
I think their creativity in so many flavors is what makes them fun and exciting. The bertie botts line with harry potter is probably the most genius move they ever made at the time too ^^
Peach has always been my favorite along with tutti frutti! I love Jelly Belly!!! Never tried pancakes and maple syrup though so I will have to give that a try. Great video! 😀👍
Your most interesting video yet. Awesome job! Hope this blows up
For a company to make something taste exactly like earwax or dirt, to as great as Krispy Kreme doughnuts, has longevity in my eyes
I took a tour of the Jelly Belly factory years ago, at the end of the tour I was given a big bag of jelly beans, mis-shapen rejects they called Belly Flops. One of my favorite factory tours!
Hey, COMPANY MAN….I’m relaxing watching this after a long hot day, of seeing the pyramids of Giza, and the sphinx!!!!! VACY in Egypt…..from a midwestern man!!!!
I grew up in California not far from where they are headquartered and I remember in the 2000's they had Jelly Belly stores where you could get free samples and take pictures with the Jelly Belly portrait of Reagan.
Best part of my whole week!!
Jelly Belly Sours are my favorite… of any candy! They don’t last more than a couple of days when I get them!
I go back to ‘98 with them…when they were labeled Sassy Sours.
Awesome vid!
This just took me back to my childhood in the mid 90's, going to Blockbuster renting vhs tapes, sega games, and buying buttered popcorn jelly bellies every Friday.
Jelly Belly is literally the only jelly bean worth buying imo. I never realized why I can't stand other brands until you just mentioned it - the insides aren't flavored! My favorite flavor of Jelly Belly has to be either Margarita or Pina Colada. The pear flavor is also up there.
Despite not liking jelly beans (texture thing) this company was a big part of my child hood. My dad worked on racing speed boats called Super Cats, and one of the ones he worked on was Gone Again Jelly Belly. Having the branding on it meant we got tons of merch and so many free jelly beans.
