Tanaqui Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 And for the record - both black licorice and buttered popcorn beans are delish, but grape flavored candies need to go die in a fire. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfIOnly Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Black licorice and marshmallow (sickeningly sweet even for a jelly bean-blech) are the only ones I just won't eat, though it's been awhile, so I should buy some to refresh my memory. ;) I haven't had the vomit, skunk and other strange ones though and had never heard of them before Janeway's thread. No thanks! ETA: Love popcorn. Yum! So good. ETA: oh, and pina colada is another fave. Edited April 10, 2017 by ifIonlyhadabrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I loooooooove buttered popcorn jelly beans. I remind my family every Christmas of the store in the mall that sells single-flavor bags by the pound. Licorice... nope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyGF Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't really like Jelly Bellies - except for those two flavors!

Raifta Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Black licorice = yum in any format. Would eat only black licorice jelly beans if allowed. Okay, maybe some other food occasionally. Popcorn OTOH can disappear from my life any time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hate popcorn jelly beans, like black licorice and grape candy. For me, lime flavored candy can cease to exist. It is evil and frequently disguises itself as mint, green apple, or watermelon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaillardia Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 funny, ain't it? I guess most of you hate cilantro then? I love cilantro but I don't know if it is a jellybean flavor yet. I HATE buttered popcorn flavor jellybeans. It's like vomit. LOVE licorice and fruit flavors. HATE mocha, java, coffee flavored jellybeans. It's bitter to me. Bleh. I hate peeps too. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meena Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ok, all you black licorice lovers--we need to be bff's. Not because I love them too, but rather I want someone to give mine to since I can't stand them. No one in our family likes them so they usually get thrown out. I don't hate the buttered popcorn flavor but only like it in small quantities and with the right flavor to eat along with it. This is an interesting article about the creator of the buttered popcorn flavor, among others good and gross: http://www.confectionerynews.com/R-D/Accidental-inventions-The-barf-flavored-jelly-bean-inventor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Oh, blech, the marshmallow ones! Basically, anything that's a savory food does not, imo, make a good jellybean flavor. I'm not sure what it is about the marshmallow flavor that I don't like. Maybe because it lacks warm toasty smooshiness. I mean, who really wants a cold, chewy marshmallow? Not me. Give 'em to the jello salad lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifera33 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I LOVE....LOVE Jelly Belly's I won't even eat jelly beans that are not either Jelly Bellys or Gimbals.

heartlikealion Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Give me the grape candies. I usually don't touch the "weird" flavored jelly beans and seldom eat jelly beans at all anymore. As a kid they were always around at Easter. As an adult, I don't go out of my way to get them. I don't like black licorice. Or Jägermeister. Basically the same thing in liquid form. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) My favourite sweet licorice is Panda from Finland. My favourite salty licorice is anything from Europe. I love the little hard, salty ones that come in a little box and blow your tongue to shreads! :laugh: I don't eat North American licorice or jelly beans anymore. Once I was introduced to European licorice there was no going back to North American. Edited April 11, 2017 by wintermom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
