Jellybeans are great but I'm not too fond of the black or yellow ones.

I have never cared for jellybeans. There are several other candies and desserts that are much better.

Here are some other interesting facts (at least I think they are interesting)

Blueberry flavor was created for Ronald Reagan's presidential inauguration in 1981 when over three tons of Jelly Belly beans were consumed during the festivities.
(I remember President Reagan wanted Red, White, and Blue jelly beans)
