Juicy Pear are my favorite Jelly Belly! This thread was not meant for me.
You and me both, man. They were bursting with flavor! I don't know if they were #1, but they were certainly at the top of the list for me. My grandparents always kept an ample supply of Jelly Bellies around their house when I was little, so I've certainly had my share. I never understood the point of getting excessively adventurous with jellybean flavors. Why would I want to eat popcorn-flavored jellybeans? Why would I want to now, I mean. When I was a young lad, I would pretend I was an astronaut from a future where all food consumption was done in jellybean form, so the popcorn ones suited me well, but today, not so much, no.
This reminds me of the big jar of jelly beans I picked up a week ago... there's multiple fruit flavors, a cheesecake one, 6 soda ones, and 4 different alcohol ones, not to mention the standard popcorn, red vines, etc. The thing that got to me though is on the back, it has jelly bean recipes. 3 strawberries + 2 cheesecakes jellybeans and it tastes just like a strawberry cheesecake! 3 Green Apple jellybeans + 2 margarita jellybeans makes an Appletini?
Damn, there's even a plain cheese jellybean but no cheese popcorn recipe.
