Jelly bean jive
How long does it take to make a Jelly Belly bean? Seven to 10 days, according to the Jelly Belly people.
Their virtual tour explains that, while most of the steps in the making are quick, the jelly bean centers receive 24 to 48 hours of rest after their creation. Then, further along the line, the finished beans receive two to four days of seasoning before being stamped with the Jelly Belly name.
That's a lot of time to put into a jelly bean. Good thing they don't make them one at a time. Jelly beans would be as valuable as diamonds!
And then only the filthy rich would have them. They would keep bowls of them on their desks. They would dig in their filthy rich hands and eat them one by one. They would make poorer men dance for a taste.

Something tells me you'd be more than willing to do the jelly bean jig for a scoop.

You could not be more correct. Remember how all those guys in prison danced to that song on YouTube? I could see that happening.

[...] if the 7-10 day jelly bean creation process (as covered here previously) applies to the special beans as well. Do some take longer? Maybe the Toasted Marshmallow flavor [...]
