My son got me a bag of Jelly belly beans..just a mixed bag...so I dumped in a bowl and then caught myself picking them out one at a time AND feeding anything brown or black to the dogs....hehehe

how do you eat your beans??

PS, I really prefer the Mango Chili ones and the Cinnamon mixed with those...spicy goodness!

one color at a time

earthwalker 05-10-2011 07:07 PM

I only buy black ones, so I don't have to ferret around the bowl.

DGD gave DH ( he loves jelly beans) a bag of sour gourmet
jelly beans. There discusting! However; I did manage to dig out a few red, pink ect.

Oh, those brown ones with the white spots are delicious. Love them, but first I go to the white ones with yellow spots, the Buttered Popcorn. Then a red one, and so on, one at a time so I can try to identify them without checking on the back of the container.

Nice for sucking on driving long distances, that and a diet Pepsi with a lot of ice.

Darn, why did I open this??? Now I want some LOL
When I'm in a piggy mood I just grab a handful, otherwise by my favorite flavors- buttered popcorn and bubblegum :D:D

I love the black and brown ones. No one else in my family will touch the black ones, so I get all of them for myself!

BETTY62 05-10-2011 09:15 PM

I love jelly beans although I rarely buy them. I eat them one by one savoring the taste.

Annaquilts 05-10-2011 09:55 PM

I pick out all the black ones and avoid anything red or brown. Scared of the cinnamon or rootbeer flavored ones.

Annaquilts 05-10-2011 09:57 PM

Oh we should get together over jelly beans and I can be the dog and eat all the black ones, the real dog can have the brown ones except the ones with white specks and you can have all the cinnamon and chilli mango ones your heart desires.

I thought you meant how do you actually EAT them. lol

I eat whatever I grab HOWEVER... I pop it in my mouth and "crack" all the outside coating off of it then I eat the jelly center part seperatly! I do the same thing with peanut M&M's!

Weird, I know!

LAQUITA 05-11-2011 12:10 AM

I put them in my mouth and chew!!!! lol How DO YOU eat them? Is there another way? :)

Marion T 05-11-2011 02:13 AM

I just eat them as they come (usually three or four at once!) but GOM picks out the colours - red first, then black, and so on.

Moonglow 05-11-2011 04:00 AM

Green ones first then it doesn't matter.

sewmuchmore 05-11-2011 04:04 AM

I only like the black ones. You may have the rest. :thumbup:

Favorite Fabrics 05-11-2011 04:05 AM

I eat them one at a time, "duplicates first", trying to even out how many colors are left. I have no idea why!

But though I love coffee, I hate coffee-flavored jelly beans and discard those.

QuiltnNan 05-11-2011 04:07 AM

I only like the black ones. they are sold in bags of black only near Easter, so I stock up then.

heljoy50 05-11-2011 04:22 AM

I like the black ones, I start with them first!!

gunny148 05-11-2011 04:27 AM

Blindly, i just tear off the top of the bag ant turn it up as if it were a cold drink, love the mixed taste...mmmmm

deedee75 05-11-2011 04:48 AM

I reach in and grab a handful. Then I sort them into like colors to eat, starting with my least fav and ending with my favs. Since I have a mint allergy, I have to be very careful with the mixed bags.

ranger 05-11-2011 05:09 AM

Jelly beans are my second favorite sweet treat with marshmallow being first.

When I get a bag of jelly beans,I eat all the orange ones first..they're my favorite. Then I eat my next favorite...red...and then purple followed by white, yellow and pink. By that time I feel sick and guilty! So I leave the green and black for DH. I don't want him to feel left out and besides, I don't like the green or black!

woohoo...a true jelly bean junkie..heheheheh

after accidentally leaving a coffee one in the bowl and grabbing a few and tossing them in...I will NOT be doing the "blindly mixing " thing again....eeeewwwwww wwwweee ...that was nasty....

I do not do coffee at all...

CarrieAnne 05-11-2011 05:56 AM

Love the Jelly Bellies! I always eat the cappucino ones first, then the pinks. Yum! Black ones go to the kids!

Quiltzilla 05-11-2011 06:13 AM

I tend to get old fashion jellybeans. They come in either a fruit mix or spice mix; I go for the spice mix. The white jellybeans in the spice mix are clove flavored and I really like those. My next favorite would be the black licorice ones. I normally grab a handful out of the bowl and sort them. I see how many sets of beans I can make with one of each color. I eat the beans that were extra, didn't make it into a set. Then I eat a set, eating the least favorite flavor to the most favorite, then I eat the next set...

I think I like the clove flavored one because they remind me of Necco Wafers, the white in those is also clove flavored.

Me too! I LOVE black jelly beans. Nobody bought me any this Easter. I'll have to rectify that. My Mom and husband usually get me some. I hadn't thought about that until just now. Umm, I might just have to go get some myself. LOL.

raedar63 05-11-2011 07:06 AM

Old fashioned jelly beans, orange first, followed by,green,red,yellw then pink, never eat the black ones. I have no idea why I eat them in this order always have. I have a similar eating order with the valentine conversation hearts. lol.As far as the jelly belly types, I have only had them a few times, very wierd but LOVED them, although I don't consider them jelly beans lol. I havn't had jelly beans for a couple of years now I want some BAD !

deedee75 05-11-2011 07:46 AM

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with JellyBean OCD!

nativetexan 05-11-2011 07:47 AM

red ones first!!
