National Jelly Bean Day celebrates the entire rainbow of flavours that the world has to offer, and that includes the black licorice, and so we can for once agree on one small detail.
That Jelly Beans are delicious, and the would would be a sadder place without them.
Come and enjoy some of the Shenanigans we get up to. It is definitely a morning of fun, mischief and entertainment while catching up on all things caching.
Today is National Jelly Bean Day, and in the interests of supporting this day it would be nice to share around some treats to show our support to this highly acclaimed day.
Some interesting facts about jelly beans:
Jelly beans are more popular around Easter time than any other time of the year even though they are available all year round. People fill Easter baskets with jelly beans because their shapes remind people of miniature Easter eggs. Since the 1930s, Easter has been a peak jelly bean season.
Every year, there are about 16 billion jelly beans produced just for Easter. If the small beans were laid end to end, they would circle the earth more than three times.
Even though the candy is small in size, it is big in flavor and it takes from 7 to 21 days just to make one of the small bean-shaped candy with a hard shell and a thick chewy gummy interior
There is no need to feel guilty when you eat jelly beans because each small jelly bean has only four calories and zero fat. In one serving of 35 beans, there are 130 calories and 37 grams of sugar. If you are concerned about the sugar, you can buy sugar-free jelly beans.
Interesting how the blue jelly bean was formed!
Grab a chair, meet some players and have a few laughs.
