Jelly beans
Jelly beans come in a multitude of flavors and colors.
Jelly beans are a small bean-shaped type of confectionery with a hard candy shell and a gummy interior which come in a wide variety of flavors. The confection is primarily made of sugar.
History
The Turkish Delight, a Middle Eastern candy made of soft jelly, covered in confectioner’s powder, was an early precursor to the jelly bean that inspired its gummy interior. However, it is generally thought that jelly beans first surfaced in 1861 when Boston confectioner William Schrafft urged people to send his jelly beans to soldiers during the American Civil War. It wasn’t until July 5, 1905 that the mentioning of jelly beans was published in the Chicago Daily News. The advertisement publicized bulk jelly beans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book, “The Century in Food: America’s Fads and Favorites.” Today, most historians contend that in the United States, they were first linked with Easter in the 1930s.
Manufacturer
The basic ingredients of jelly beans include sugars, corn syrup, and starch. Relatively minor amounts of the emulsifying agent lecithin, anti-foaming agents, an edible wax such as beeswax, salt, and confectioner’s glaze are also included. The ingredients that give each bean its character are also relatively small in proportion and may vary depending on the flavor.
Most jelly beans are sold as an assortment of around eight different flavors, most of them fruit based. Assortments of “spiced” jellybeans and gumdrops are also available, which include a similar number of spice and mint flavors. The colors of jelly beans often correspond with a fruit and a “spiced” flavor.

Some premium brands, such as Jelly Belly and The Jelly Bean Factory, are available in many different flavors, including berry, tropical fruit, soft drink, popcorn, and novelty ranges, in addition to the familiar fruit and spice flavors. While these are also sold as assortments, individual flavors can be individually purchased from distributors. A version of the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans from the Harry Potter series was made commercially available and included flavors described as earwax, dirt, pepper, and vomit.
Harry Potter Jelly Beans
For those of you who’ve switched from eating jelly beans the Easter Bunny used to bring to gourmet jelly beans, the Jelly Belly Cocktail Mix is one fruitastic treat not to miss. But if you’re trying to cut back on your jelly bean consumption, these Harry Potter Jelly Beans from Bertie Bott’s, featuring extremely rare flavors, might help you kick the habit for good.
Harry Potter Jelly Beans
- Packaged in a flip top box 1.2 ounces.
- 20 Possible Flavors
- Banana, Black Pepper, Blueberry, Booger, Candy floss, Cherry, Cinnamon, Dirt, Earthworm, Earwax, Grass, Green Apple, Marshmallow, Rotten Egg, Sausage, Lemon, Soap, Tutti-Frutti, Vomit, Watermelon. Please Note: Boxes are randomly assorted at Hogwarts and may not contain every flavor.
If you replace your regular stash of jelly beans with the Harry Potter ones, it won’t be long before you start thinking twice about gobbling a handful at once. You never know if you’ll get concoction of dirt, grass and earthworms or rotten eggs covered in vomit with a side of sausage. Yep, that’d make me quit cold turkey.
However, if your jelly bean addiction is under control and you’re just an evil prankster, Voldemort’s earwax and booger beans will come in handy.
The approximate volume of one jelly bean can be thought of as a small cylinder 2 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter (Precisely articulated as: Volume of 1 Jelly Bean = h(pi)(d/2)^2 = 2cm x 3 (1.5cm/2)^2 = 3.375 or 27/8 cubic centimeters).
Slang
1920 sheet music cover.
In United States slang in the 1910s and early 1920s a “Jellybean” or “Jelly-Bean” was a young man who dressed stylishly to attract women but had little else to recommend him; similar to the older terms dandy and fop and the slightly later drugstore cowboy. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote a story about such a character, The Jelly-Bean in 1920. The song, “Jelly Bean (He’s a Curbstone Cutie)”, was made popular in the 1940s by Phil Harris. It was written by Jimmie Dupre, Sam Rosen, and Joe Verges and published in New Orleans in 1920 by Universal Music Publishers, Inc.
In the semiconductor industry, a “jelly bean” component is one which is widely available, used generically in many applications, and has no very unusual characteristics—as though it might be grabbed out of a jar in handfuls when needed, like jelly beans. For example, the 741 might be considered a jelly bean operational amplifier.

SUNDAY’S FUN FACT: PARTY HATS
THE PARTY HAT
A party hat is generally a playful conical hat made with a rolled up piece of thin cardboard, usually with designs printed on the outside and a long string of elastic going from one side of the cone’s bottom to another to secure the cone to the person’s head. In Britain the hat is made of paper and is the shape of a crown. Its name originates with its use: Party hats are worn most often at birthday parties, especially by the guest of honor, with a significant minority being worn for New Year celebrations. The party hat has its origins in the dunce cap worn by misbehaving or poorly performing schoolchildren from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, with its festive decoration and society’s positive attitude toward the wearer indicating a relaxation, abrogation, or even reversal of certain social norms: During the occasion in question the wearer is permitted or encouraged to engage, rather than discouraged from engaging, in frivolous and foolish behavior for which the required wearing of the dunce cap would in other situations constitute a punishment.
Non-conical hats worn to signify an occasion’s informal and festive status include decorated top hats, hats made from balloons, the beer hat or “beer helmet,” and Mickey Mouse ears. In more extreme cases, partygoers may wear other objects such as lampshades or beer boxes, although the wearing of such objects often meets with social disapprovaleven when other festive partywear is permitted.

MY PARTY HAT USING A TOP NOTE AND THE LOOK OF AN ALTER STYLE CARD. YOU ARE ABLE TO USE SO MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS ON ONE CARD. I THINK THE MORE EMBELLISHMENTS THE MORE PRETTIER THE CARD GETS. I LOVE SIZZIX BIG SHOT FROM STAMPIN UP I USE IT FOR EVERYTHING.
THIS IS THE TOP NOT ON A FANCY DAY! TINSEL RIBBON, GLASS GLITTER, WHITE SATIN RIBBON THE PENNANT PUNCH TURN IT UPSIDE AND YOU HAVE A PARTY HAT- I KNOW YOU KNEW THAT! YES THERE IS SOME OTHER NON STAMPIN UP ITEMS.
Materials: Heavy Paper (like poster board or cardstock) Crepe Paper (or you can also use tissue paper for the big flowers) Ribbon Pencil String (or wire) Scissors X-acto Knife Stapler
Once you have your hat then it’s time for the fun part: Embellishment! The fringe and ball are very easy to make, it is basically a version of the streamers . Here is how to do it.
Embellishment Instructions Step 1. Cut a 1″ piece of Crepe paper. Step 2. Cut evenly spaced fringe on each side of the 1″ piece. Step 3. Ruffle and scrunch with your fingers then unroll the fringe. Step 4. Take the fringe doubling or tripling it up and then staple it to the edge of your hat. (You can bend the fringe to cover the staple.) Step 5. To make the fringey ball on top, take a section of fringe and roll it up. Then secure it tightly with string in the middle, leaving long tails of string. Step 6. Separate each side of the fringe and poof it up until it is a little ball. Step 7. Put the string through the hole at the top of the hat and secure the tails with a piece of tape on the inside. Step 8. Et voila! You have a party hat!
There are other ways I decorate the hats. But they are all more or less versions of the two techniques above. I like to decorate each one differently.
