Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn Flavored Jelly Beans - 10lb Bulk Candy Box for Movie Nights, Parties & Office Snacks

Really disappointed with this order, the quality was terrible. I recently discovered the buttered popcorn flavored jelly bellys at a gas station. I paid $2.85 for a tiny pack but was instantly hooked. I couldn't get enough and when the store was out of them I realized I could save a ton buying them on Amazon, so I ordered these. I opened the bag and divided them into smaller snack sized portions, just used normal zip lock sandwich bags. Of course I ate some as soon as I opened the bag- they were not as good as the ones from the gas station, I couldn't believe it. I mean come on, gas station items aren't t always fresh but I figured these would be. I'm pretty sure the ones from the gas station were not fresh but they still were a lot better then these. These had a bad crunch to them, even the first ones I ate. They just seemed off with flavor too- very irritating and expect more since they are jelly bellys and not cheap. Had to believe the gas station had a better product or batch. Maybe I got a bad batch from seller, who knows. I think that they were either old or stored wrong, either way I don't recommend buying them; this is a quality product but for some reason my order was very poor quality and a complete disappointment. I would not recommend risking buying these, I assume they are jelly belly- the bag said they were, and they looked like they were- had stamp on beans, just weren't the same quality. They came in a repackaged vacuum sealed bag with some candy company's label and said jelly belly and the flavor- I would have thought that since they were vacuum sealed they would have been fresh but these were not, stale and had a bad after taste.I ordered these for my mother who absolutely loves Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans, upon arrival I instantly opened the box because I was super happy to give them to my mother. The bag was a clear bag with the company "Mr. Nutz" label on the bag. It was not closed all of the way, it was simply folded over and then folded over again to keep the beans from slipping out. The beans are not marked "Jelly Belly" they do not taste like "Jelly Belly's" typical Buttered Popcorn flavor. Some of the beans are way too strongly flavored. I was super irritated but gave them to my mother to see if she would want them anyways. They are still sitting on her counter in the bag. She said they do not taste the same as the "Jelly Belly" brand. I agree and I'm pissed that these are being represented as "Jelly Belly" brand jelly beans when they clearly are NOT!Love these Jelly Belly Beans; however they just came in a box, with no plastic liner or food protector. The box should at least have a wax coating or something.so...it's a weakness...my resolve to eat better dissolves when I am presented with Jelly Belly jelly beans. My favorite flavor is Buttered Popcorn, and thisd bulk purchase is a really solid value. Get the AUTHENTIC Jelly Belly brand!My favorite flavorMy mom loves these. I'm not so much a fan of them but she is. Warning that this bag is quite a bit though. She can only handle so many at a time so I got them quite a while ago for her birthday and little by little they are diminishing. A fun gift if you throw them into one of those plastic popcorn containers at the dollar store and pair it with a movie.I really like popcorn flavored jelly beans, so to me these are awesome!! I have friends who didn't like them, but I think it was more they were not expecting a popcorn flavored jelly bean. That's okay with me though, as it meant more for me!! These were worth every penny. I would highly recommend them IF you like popcorn flavored jelly beans.I have been searching for these Jelly beans for so long. I'd wake up during the night and crave them. I finally had to get my "fix." I searched for them online and this seller offered the best price. I am very happy with my order; excellent packaging, great flavor and fast shipping!! I am now in Jelly bean heaven. Thank you!
