Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, my favorite flavor of jelly bean is black licorice, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. In today’s episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday we’re taking a look back at an episode about gratitude.
Today fun fact is: Today is Jelly Bean Day! I don’t know about you, but I love jelly beans and don’t need a special holiday to enjoy these fun treats! Here are some fun facts about jelly beans.
- The origin of jelly beans is kind of a mystery, but they are thought to be a descendant of Turkish Delight or Jordan Almonds.
- To create the hard outer shell of a jelly bean and keep the inside gooey, a process is used called panning.
- In the early 20th century, jelly bean was a slang term for a man who put forth great effort to dress stylishly.
- Jelly beans were President Reagan’s favorite candy and for his first inauguration, 7,000 pounds of jelly beans were ordered and distributed. (Jelly Belly created a new flavor, Blueberry, specifically for the event.)
