For those of you who don't know, Jellie Bellies are the worlds best gourmet jelly bean. They come in literally dozens of scrumptious fruit flavors.... I had just got back from making my weekly plasma donation at the Bio Life center.. Thirty five bucks in cash was now mine as my reward. I stopped in the store, planning to pick up a few Jellie Bellies, not only for myself, but to share with folks at work during break. (Hey, I don't smoke, so I gotta have at least ONE vice. Anyways, they were in beautiful clear acrylic dispensers, so I figured I'll just take a FEW of each to make a nice variety. Make a long story short, I went to the register, and the clerk made with the ring-a-ling-ding.....THIRTY FIVE BUCKS!!!!!!! Holy crap! And it was just a LITTLE tiny bit of each flavor! I'm gonna be having a sugar high for the next three months! D'oh!! The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

I'll buy a big bag of them and just eat like crazy. Good thing it's seasonal or I and my teeth would be in real trouble! Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

Then, when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away from them and you will have their shoes.

MagicSanta Inner circle Northern Nevada 5841 Posts	Posted: Apr 2, 2007 02:54 am 0 Yes Daffy and if I said "They sell belly flops" it wouldn't be clear now would it?
Big Jeff Loyal user 300 Posts	Posted: Apr 2, 2007 06:25 am 0 Whenever I go to the Reagan Library I always buy a bag. Ronald Reagan loved them and if they were good enough for him, they are good enough for me.
MagiClyde Special user Columbus, Ohio 871 Posts	Posted: Apr 12, 2007 05:50 am 0 Just tried my first bag of Jelly Bellies a couple days ago and they were GREAT! Now I understand what all the fuss is about. And yes, they are expensive. Does anyone know where I might be able to get them in bulk? Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

I've got 14077 Posts	Posted: Apr 12, 2007 08:15 pm 0 That's where I go..Meijer. of course if there is no Meijer in your area, you could look up their website and email them, and I'm sure they would be happy to assist you.

MagicSanta Inner circle Northern Nevada 5841 Posts	Posted: Apr 12, 2007 11:22 pm 0 See if they sell their belly flops (there you are Doug) by mail, cheapest price around.
daffydoug Eternal Order Look mom! I've got 14077 Posts	Posted: Apr 13, 2007 01:31 am 0 I only used the word "belly flops" because the pamphlet that came with the JB's said that's the word they use at the factory. The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.
MagicSanta Inner circle Northern Nevada 5841 Posts	Posted: Apr 13, 2007 01:56 am 0 Yes, thank you Doug. So check with the factory in Fairfield California, might have 'em elsewhere as well.
