Can you identify a jelly bean?

[purplepoppy]

I'm munching my way through a pot of jelly beans which are supposed to be different flavours as indicated on the side of the pot. As I flick my bean into my mouth I'm trying to guess what flavour it's supposed to be, I'm not doing very well.

They all taste the same to me

If I see the key I agree with what it's supposed to be

They taste nothing like the key

I can identify without looking at the key

I've never flicked a jelly bean in my mouth

[andreasderjuengere]

They all are... ''jelly flavour''

... I really don't see where the problem is.

From the second picture you show - I see the Americanesian legal system applied:

The ''titles'' such as ''pear'' or ''grape'' are mere product names for the shape and colour.

Manufacturer's terms and conditions apply. Illustrations may be exposed to un-announced alterations in product consistency, quality, or technological advancement.

I only had ONE jelly bean in my life…..

I knew the flavor right away and I don’t remember what the flavor was because that was like early Highschool, can’t remember it. It was during the time those stupid “roulette” prank jelly beans were around so the classmate promised me it wasn’t a prank flavor (which it wasn’t) and I ate it, it was fine & not gross thank God lol.

When I first saw the question I thought it said, "Can you identify as a jelly bean?"

Don't give the crazies any more ideas.

[FreyaRed]

It's difficult, some aromas taste and smell the same others are contain more citric or ascorbic acid.

Identifying jelly bean flavors can be a fun yet tricky adventure. Their vibrant colors don't always match their flavors, making it a delightful guessing game. I once found myself in a similar situation, attempting to discern between flavors like watermelon and pear. Sometimes, it helps to focus on subtle taste notes, such as sourness or creaminess, to pinpoint them. 🍬 Remember, the joy is in the playful uncertainty of it all!

I mean reasonably... I usually know red equals cherry, pink equals strawberry, orange equals orange, yellow equals lemon, green could equal lime or green apple, blue equals blue raspberry, black equals licorice, purple equals grape, etc... then there's white, not sure what white usually equals. Either just plain sugar or vanilla? But yeah.

Beyond those basics though I usually struggle to tell.

[AviatorTom]

Most jellybeans are artificially flavored, which makes it hard. If I know what the flavors are supposed to be (read the bag), I can usually get most, sometimes all, of them. If I have no idea what they are supposed to be, maybe they are something weird like watermelon marshmallow, I'm lucky if I can get one right.

Jelly Belly was the original made famous by President Reagan and is still quite big in the US. I used to eat them and they tasted like what they were supposed to be but juicy pear sucked. Buttered popcorn was really good though.

[GoodManDave]

I can usually tell, but as that "Beanboozled" game tells us (or the Bertie Botts tie in with HP merchandise), you can be fooled by looks alone.

IMHO, Popcorn flavor is DISGUSTING. It's a nice buttery taste and then that disappears, and it becomes gross.

I do like this question you know I think maybe depending on. What I mean jelly Bean is the brand I think bigger names I think you can take a little bit of a taste difference to what you're supposed to be. And I think maybe cheaper brands don't get me wrong still are scrumptious. And I think in cheaper brands maybe some might taste what they're supposed to be. In the end I think it just depending on brand. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN JELLY BEAN 😜 😂 😄😅😁

Do you get "Jelly Belly" jelly beans in the UK? Truly the best:

[NathanDavis]

the green ones could definitely be river rocks...

pebbles, that is

[OlderAndWiser]

"Flicking your bean" has a very precise meaning in American English.

[katiesmuff]

I can pick out the black licorice, red cherry, and the red cinnamon

[Nikki1989]

All of that type of candy taste like flavoured plastic to me.

[Iron_Man]

No but I want to eat them and share them with you like a mother bird would with a baby bird would. So open your mouth while I put it in from my mouth to your mouth

[ForevrLonely29]

You like flicking that bean, don't you @purplepoppy? Lol

[Anonymous]

There is a joke about covid here but I'm not finding it. 👅

[Anonymous]

The Harry Potter jelly beans are my favorite.

[Staximus]

After a solid hour of flicking beans, my tongue is usually dead

[zagor]

I don't eat those fancy-ass jelly beans. Give me the brands with like 5 basic flavors.

[Wiredone]

I never eat one at a time. I just get a handful and toss them in my mouth

[beefcakebradybatson]

Kobe's father, the also deceased Joe "Jellybean" Bryant !!!
