Jelly Bean Day is celebrated on April 22. Almost everyone loves a jelly bean. Jelly beans are now an everyday treat and there’s no better time to celebrate them than Jelly Bean Day. Popular during Easter and Halloween, jelly bean candies come in a variety of flavors and colors. No-one knows for sure how, when or why Jelly Bean Day began and the origins of the beans themselves are equally mysterious.
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.
