Didn't I review this already!? Well, no. I did review *a* 20-flavor Jelly Belly mix, but since buying the company in 2023, Ferrara has embarked on a brand refresh, changing everything you thought you knew about Jelly Bean. (Hopefully not the nut free thing, although they have a meek mill allergy FAQ and already took the "made in a peanut free facility" text off the packaging, which is a horrible sign >:().
On the plus side, check out this silly line from the PR machine:
I do have that desire. Although IDK if I'd call jelly beans gummies.
Whatever, anyway, this is a NEW mix of 20 flavors, and the upside is that it no longer has licorice. So I can eat them all without even looking (although I probably should look just in case a rogue bean gets in there, which has happened before). It has a lot of loser flavors, but as always, some winners too. Here is my current ranking from best to worst, which is liable to change with the weather:
Tops
Sizzling Cinnamon - I must be in a mood for it!
Lemon
Juicy Pear
Orange Sherbet
Cotton Candy/Tutti Frutti - Not only are these indistinguishable from Bubble Gum, they are indistinguishable from eachother!
Grape Soda
Mid
Wild Blackberry - This one is so dark I would never risk eating it if licorice were in the mix. Tastes like jam.
Vanilla Bean
Berry Blue
Tangerine
Watermelon
Strawberry Jam
Toasted Marshmallow
Blueberry
Very cherry
Pink Grapefruit
Bad because they taste like allergens or peach rings, depending
Buttered Popcorn
Top Banana
Sweet Peach
Overall
Cost: 5/10 [4$... getting pricy]
Taste: 7/10
