BELLY FLOPS
One of the decorations used for our open house was this dish of Belly Flops. This candy is made by the Jelly Belly Company in Fairfield, California. They get their name because when they were produced they were not perfectly formed or the logo was printed incorrectly. Hence they are flops and can't be sold in stores. They taste just as good as the perfect ones but perhaps aren't quite as pretty. These were bought at the factory and are very inexpensive. My favorite flavor is juicy pear, followed by buttered popcorn.
Do you have a favorite flavor? What's your favorite candy?

the white ones look like the rice they can write your name on it:)
Oh look, you are back! :) Love the colorful shot Sue.
Oh wow, all I have to do is look at that photo -- and now I'm hooked on jellybeans... --My favorite candy is chocolate, of course, but I just got back on what I call my "pure" diet, so chocolate is currently off-limits... Maybe I should channel my addiction for chocolate into jelly-beans -- a little gelatin and sugar never hurt anybody... --I'll take a bucket...
A lot of varieties, I prefer those of lemon and mint :)
That's a cute name... belly flops... but I don't see why they are considered rejects, they look pretty good to me!
Great colors!!
A perfect Friday shot..colorful and happy!!! :)
Have you ever heard from a liquorice ?
When I was a child after the WWII, we had only this kind of candy and it has been my favorite always.
I wish you colorful weekend!
That is a good name for that candy. Jelly beans are not a favorite of mine. I prefer to save my calories for something I really like. Great photo, though.
My favorite candy? Snickers!
I love those in any shape. Its fun to look in jar and out from jar.
What a clever name...I think I would buy those over the "perfect" ones just because I feel sorry for them. And I don't even care for jelly beans! Silly, huh?
My favorite is the peach one my neighbor, Estrela gave me this morning, and that you just reminded about. So I'm just about to unwrap & pop in.
Easy does it, though! ......MMMMMMmm, it's good!!! Soft, sweet & chewy, though I think it tastes more like banana LOL!
some even looks like pebbles!
fave candy? i m&ms :)
Hi, I like the fruit ones, love the picture, shows how you can get a interesting image from everyday objects.
Cheers Mark
I had no idea there were keepers and non-keepers in the jelly bean industry!
Great colors, very nice. I just don't want the flavors they talk about in the Harry Potter books!
Great to see and hear from you again.
wow! I really like the details and the enlarged photo!!! what an original shot!
I thought this was a pile of pills at first....actually it kind of is :)
The "dirt" flavored ones are not bad :)
for some reason, i've never liked jelly beans.....
but i love the colorful pic! :)
hahaha ... nice story and ... of course a nice foto!
:-)
il y en a de toutes les couleurs. pas trop chimique ?
there is of all the colors. not too chemical?
I'm not a huge fan of jelly beans, except for the black licorice ones. Lemon is ok too though. They do look pretty though in a nice bowl.
I love jelly beans. I'm a bore though, I like the red/cherry ones the best. I have a deal with Lovely Wife, I eat all of the black/licorice ones, well, it's not much of a deal, but I like them and she doesn't.
My wife and I toured the Jelly Belly factor when we were first married because it was free date!!! My wife was a seminary student in Marin County and I was working at a local bookstore, so we were poor then. it is one of our fondest memories. We loved watching them hand make the christmas taffey with the little tree in the middle. My favorite flavor....I love them all!!!!
look yummy...i like jelly bean. my favorite is coconut...did u try jalapeno?-they taste awful not good for making jelly bean:-P btw great shot.
My wife did go to Golden Gate Seminary. I worked at the LifeWay store there on campus while she was finishing her degree. Have you been to the campus?
Just great. Now I need to go get some jelly beans.
I actually cannot tell the diff between this and the real ones but its nice to by inexpensive things that basically the same as the real deal - i love the colors!
