Gimbal's Gourmet Jelly Beans (41 flavors!)


Ever since Harry Potter came out, I've wanted to experience the whole "what will this jelly bean taste like? who knows!" phenomenon. Sadly, until Gimbal's, I could never find a peanut free Jelly Bean assortment, least of all one with 41 flavors. Lucky for me, these beans are pretty tasty.

Because there are 41 flavors in this bag (I got at least a couple of each flavor), there is sure to be a flavor everyone will like. There's a lot of fruity ones, but also more creative flavors like java, tiramisu, popcorn, and root beer. Because I have time on my hands, my roommate and I actually rated each of the flavors, which you can see coming up here soon. Some weren't my favorite, but none were so terrible to stop me from reaching blindly to eat one. (Note: a lot of the flavors look very similar, so if you hate chocolate but love root beer, watch out!)

Overall, though, I'd have to give this bag a thumbs up. I'll probably buy it again when I get a hankering!
Cost: 7/10
Rating: 8/10

My roomie Laura says, "Yum! 7/10."

  2. I wish I could, but they have a "may contain peanuts" warning and I'm allergic!
