Jellybeans

Jellybeans are probably one of the most awesome food/snack/candy on this planet. Not only does it come in different colors, it also comes in different flavors. I've had watermelon flavored jellybeans which actually have a green skin and red inside, like an actual watermelon. Some of my favorite flavors include:Root Beer, Berry Blue, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Island Punch, Strawberry Cheesecake, Toasted Marshmallow, Tuttie Frutti, and list goes on and on! At times I like to think that jellybeans go deeper than just a food/snack/candy. As a famous president,  Ronald Reagan once said,
"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans."
This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. Ronald Reagan was a big fan of jelly beans. It was essential in the Oval office and Air Force One after he was inaugerated. Moreover, the blueberry flavor was actually invented because of him. He needed white, red and blue jelly beans for his inaugural parties. At times of my deep philosophical moments, I imagine jellybeans being ways of defining human beings. Like Ronald Reagan said, the way each person eats a jellybean is different. What he later on followed up was that some people grab handfuls, while others pick certain flavors. This is quite a silly analogy, but it actually explains a lot. I'm the kind of person who pick certain flavors. This probably means I am a more cautious person and more careful. And someone who try handfuls with different flavors probably display a more adventurous nature. And people who don't even care about what flavor they are eating, and just popping them in their mouth, this is probably the kind of person who doesn't fully appreciate jellybeans. A fun fact: did you know that Jelly Bellys are the first ever jelly beans to go outerspace? And here's an ultimate challenge: Ever tried eating a whole jellybean pack with a knife and fork?
