How are the Sport Beans?

Aw shucks, now I have to go find Clif Blocks because I love gummy bears....

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the factory. Every time I have to go to Sac or Farifield for work, and pass by that sign, I think - I have to take my kid here! Maybe when it stops raining we can do a ride and I can bring the tandem - if you say easy ride and Jelly Bellys, then I think the kid would have to come along!!

LOVE the beans!!!!! Gave them as gifts to a couple of athletic type pals and told em "Happy Easter" LOL

Seriously - you can empty a bag or two into your jersey pocket without making a serious mess, even if you get a little sweaty. You don't have to futz with a package that way, you can eat a few at a time. They dont taste bad unless you suck on them - you really need to chew them - the middle is salty - the outside is sweet. You wont notice the salty unless you suck all the sweet off first.

Great great great way to eat on the bike!!!

For a while, I was the local "Jelly Belly Lady", officially in charge of ordering and stocking the JB's in all the area Target's and SuperTargets. It was FUN! I thought that I deserved the VIP tour of the factory! I wish I still had that job, so I could have easy access to the Sports Beans. I still haven't tried them. (Kinda overdosed while I was working for them...)

On another note, I love the Clif Bloks too. One warning - only eat them one at a time while you're on your bike. One in mouth, swallow. Second in mouth, fine. Two at a time, no way. Trust me on this one. Tried two at once during my first road race. I almost suffocated on them. Looking back, it was rather funny.
