Once in a lifetime flavors


Alone, Jelly Belly's offer a wide array of luscious flavors. However, my favorite thing about Jelly Bellys is eating at least three (sometimes a small handfull) at one time to experience flavor combinations that you will never again experience in your life (unless you decide to document it, which I fully intend on doing someday). Im pretty sure Ive seen two bean combo suggestions on the packaging at one point, but those suggestions were to give you a flavor you are familiar with that isnt currently the Jelly arsenal (like a 'lemon-lime'). The point of taking several at a time is getting a truly unique flavor that you just cant define or explian. It can be a risky operation because you can easily get a bad combo. To combat this, ill buy Jelly Belly packs with analagus flavors such as the Tropical Mix or the Smoothie Blend . Either way, the beauty with these little bean treats lies within them working together to form a single taste explosion in your mouth.
