Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans are a type of candy which come in a variety of colors and flavors. They are made from sugar, corn syrup or pectin, water, cornstarch, and flavoring. Jelly Beans are a popular candy, especially around Easter time. They can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes, with some being more sour than others. Jelly Beans have a history that dates back to the 1800s. It is believed that the first Jelly Beans were created by a Boston confectioner in 1861. Since then, the Jelly Bean has become a classic favorite, with millions of pounds of Jelly Beans being consumed each year. One fun fact about Jelly Beans is that the world record for most Jelly Beans eaten in one minute is held by a man named Patrick Bertoletti. He ate a whopping 247 Jelly Beans in a single minute! To compare, eating 247 Jelly Beans in a minute is like drinking nearly 4 gallons of water in one minute – an impressive feat!
