You’ll Never Guess America’s Favorite Jelly Bean Flavors
Candy makers are taking jelly beans in a more adult direction. One company recently rolled out CBD-infused jelly beans, and Jelly Belly now has beer-flavored ones on tap. No, you won’t get a buzz off either one so it remains to be seen how well those will sell.
With Easter just around the corner, overall jelly bean sales are up this month. Online candy retailer CandyStore.com has tracked the best-selling flavors in America. The top three are really surprising:
- Buttered Popcorn
- Cinnamon
- Black Licorice
- Cherry
- Watermelon
- Juicy Pear
- Toasted Marshmallow
- Orange
- Strawberry
- Green Apple
For the record, cinnamon is #1 in North Carolina and cherry is the best-seller in South Carolina.
