THE BIRTH OF A NEW FLAVOR
HELLO. Let me set the stage. The year is 1976. I am working at our Jelly Belly store in Alhambra. It is a Saturday afternoon around one o'clock. A young man comes into the store. Could not have been over eleven years old. Comes up to the counter and I ask him if he wants to taste a jelly bean. I would like to taste the strawberry please he says. Well, do you like it? It does not taste like strawberry. What does it taste like? It tastes like cotton candy. After he leaves the store I see to it that the flavor is now called cotton candy on our sign. It has been cotton candy ever since. That nice young man is now over forty years old.

Hi David, this is Theresa Cashman the family who's blog you left a comment on yesterday. It was really great to hear from you. We are having a wonderful time on this journey. You had mentioned wanting to take us on a tour of your factory but if you read our blog you know that we already did that on Friday. It was a highlight of our trip. I am a huge fan of Jelly Belly and love your company and it's friendliness to the public. Thank you for your offer it would have been really neat to meet you when we were there. I look forward to your new flavor by the way.... Theresa Cashman
