As a kid, I didn't really care too much for jelly beans. The obligatory jelly beans in my Easter basket every year were some of the last candy eaten, and only because, as a kid, I just couldn't let any candy go to waste. I was initially skeptical of Jelly Belly's because of my childhood aversion to jelly beans: I just didn't think anything classified as a jelly bean could be good. Boy, was I wrong, and I'm glad someone convinced me to give them a try.
Now, you can help Jelly Belly decide on their next flavor jelly bean. Out of thousands of entries, Jelly Belly has the choices whittled down to five. The person who contributed the winning bean flavor gets $10, 000, but sadly the voters only get the satisfaction of voting. Fortunately for me that's pretty good in my book. You have five choices, all of which sound interesting, and you have until August 31 to vote. I think I'm going for the sublime chili lime, or maybe the Thai iced tea. What flavor do you think should win?

I voted for Honey, but Mojito would be a close second =)

I had to vote for the Honey Flavor, I use to be a big fan of "Pine Bros Honey" cough drops they were the consistancy of gummi bears. I even ate them when I did not have a sore throat. Unfortunately they do not make them anymore and a honey jellybelly might be the next best thing.

Julie,
See if you can't get some of these from your local candy shop. They are super yummy and full of real honey.

Hi everyone.
I'm one of the finalists in the Jelly Belly Dream Bean contest, and I am SO excited! I submitted the mojito flavor.
Any votes you might want to send my way would certainly be appreciated! You can vote once per day through Aug 31.
