Talk:Jelly bean

message: As I understand it, Black jellybeans are flavoured with anethol which is an oil derived from Anise, Star Anise and fennel. I'm fairly sure that Licorice does not contain this compound, though it is somewhat similar in taste if you have nothing to compare it to. KristiaanJ (talk) 03:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: What are the primary ingredients, not flavoring or coloring but the other ingredients besides sugar? RJFJR 14:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that's pretty much it.  Sugar.  Jelly Belly uses sugar, corn syrup, modified food starch, and various flavorings in their beans.  --Brandon Dilbeck 21:40, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Jellybean is a drink, that actually tastes like a jellybean. Added a "were you looking for" thing to the top of the page JayKeaton 19:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: In Australia, atleast, the blue beans are commonly bubblegum or similar flavoured. Should i add this to the common assortments, as it mightn't apply internationally?

replies: text: No, that sounds Jelly Belly-specific.  In most of the store-brand assortments ( in the United States ), pink is either a flowery taste or wintergreen. Squidfryerchef 14:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Several people have listed Skittles under "See also", claiming that Skittles are a type of jelly bean.  They're not jelly beans, are they?!  They don't even have the distinctive shape.  I've removed it at least once before, believing that Skittles aren't jelly beans, but I want to reach a consensus here before I remove it again.  --Brandon Dilbeck 19:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was the one who put Skittles back.  While I've never heard anybody refer to Skittles as jellybeans, they do fit the definition.  They have a hard candy outside and a "jelly" inside, so other than having a slightly flatter shape, they qualify as jellybeans.  But, the article doesnt actually claim that Skittles are jellybeans, it just provides a mention under "See also".  So, we don't need to prove that they are bona fide jellybeans to keep that mention, just that Skittles are relevant enough to mention.  It's a useful connection to make, which I'd never thought of before reading this article. Squidfryerchef 22:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's orignal research to make that connection and post information that might influence the reader to infer that Skittles are jelly beans.  Unless there's a good source (like the Skittles website) that shows that Skittles are actually jelly beans, we can't have that in the article.  --Brandon Dilbeck 02:44, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree with that interpretation of WP:OR, but I have resolved the "Skittles" issue in a different way. Squidfryerchef 19:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that The Beatles used to be pelted with jelly beans during U. S. performances; this was because George Harrison liked jelly babies, a similar (but softer) British confection.  If anyone wants to cite a reference for this bit of jelly bean trivia, I think it was mentioned in Philip Norman's 1982 book Shout!:  The Beatles in Their Generation (which might have itself cited a magazine interview or something).

message: The article says the standard flavor for white jelly beans is vanilla. I would have to disagree--in "standard" bags of jelly beans, the white ones usually are coconut (at least that's what they taste like).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.33.174.133 (talk) 14:02, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What? Every bag of standard jellybeans I've had have been vanilla. Never any other flavor. --Hurd Hatfield (talk) 00:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

While we're at it, I'm rather disappointed that the yellow jelly bean I'm eating right now tastes like banana. I hate banana. 121.74.153.249 (talk) 02:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standard flavours? 

message: Is this a page for jelly beans or for Jelly Belly the company?  The caption for the first photo reads: "Jelly Beans manufactured by Jelly Belly come in more than 50 flavors, each one marked by a different color".  Is this really necessary?  I note looking at older comments this isn't the first time that creeping marketing from Jelly Belly has inveigled it's way onto this article.  I'm going to amend the caption to "Jelly beans come in a multitude of flavours & colours".  If someone disagrees, please explain why when reverting, thanks. 62.255.248.225 (talk) 10:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advertising or wiki? 

message: It seems that lots of nifty(useful) information has been removed over time. It was probably removed for a good reason, maybe because of a lack of citations or country specific details. I don't know. But if we're going to get this article up to the B-Class, we're going to have to start improving that old data and bringing it back. For example: Ronald Reagan's jar of jelly beans or the chart of common color/flavour combinations. Go out there, and get some citations!--Spellling (talk) 17:25, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replacing Lost Information 

message: That line saying jelly beans "first surfaced..." is really awkward. What does that mean? Other articles I've seen claim jelly beans were popularized by Schrafft, but in existence long before.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomaso (talk • contribs) 14:14, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
