What's your favorite and least favorite Jelly Belly flavor?
My favorites are anything red and buttered popcorn.
Least favorites, there are some that I really don't care for like bubble gum and root beer, but the only two I will spit out if eaten by accident are cappuccino and black licorice. Bleh!
And obviously any of the Harry Potter disgusting flavors like vomit.

My faves are any soda-flavor (cola, root beer, Dr. Pepper) and cappuccino. I gag on licorice. One time about 20 years ago, I swear I got about half a dozen tomato-flavored JBs in a bag of belly flops (I used to be able to stop at the JB factory in Vacaville fairly regularly, where they'd sell flops for about $1/lb in a 2 lb bag).

I like Sour Cherry, Sour Lemon and Sour Orange - fortunately, I can get those flavors individually at a local vendor who offers all the flavors individually (which is rare for the sour group, which are usually only offered in a crappy 10-flavor mix).
Not a fan of the savory flavors.

I love juicy pear, blueberry, and watermelon. Hate licorice, cinnamon, and cappuccino.
We have one store locally that sells individual flavors by the pound, but they are very expensive. I will occasionally by a half pound with 1-2 flavors to give as a gift.
ETA: I did try a few Every Flavor Beans at a Harry Potter party a few years ago. Gross. It was really disturbing to realize the earwax tastes like earwax, which means an R&D team actually had to develop and test the earwax flavor to make sure it actually tasted like ear wax (or vomit, grass, dirt...).

Love the hot cinnamon, licorice, watermelon, bubble gum and cotton candy. Can't think of a flavor I "hate" but not crazy about the cappuccino. Wegman's has them in the bulk candy bins, but they're something like $8/lb! Have seen what they call "belly flops" from time to time at Big Lots... Jelly Bellys that don't pass inspections. Some a little larger/smaller than supposed to be. Others conjoined twins/triplets. ABout $3/lb. Think they seel the "irregulars" at the JB web site?

My 5 year old son just won a gumball machine filled w jelly bellies. We are eating them slowly..you have to eat them one by one because they are mixed flavors The first one he tried was sizzling cinnamon..so he is semi wary of the red ones now.
I see they have on the website all 50 flavors..I see one is "chili mango", curious if we have one and how it tastes.›1 Reply -
Here is the current flavor list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_Be...
My favorites: Juicy pear, peach, sunkist pink grapefruit, sunkist tangerine, chocolate pudding, cappuccino
Least favorite: buttered popcorn, licorice, cotton candy.
I don't think I've tried a few of the current flavors, like chili mango -- sounds great!

I don't know if they make them anymore, but I used to LOVE their Plum flavor. Pear too, even though I don't really love actual pears. I am also a big fan of their super sours. I too hate black licorice, but I also avoid the Buttered Popcorn and anything that doesn't have at least some tartness to it.
