It may be that time in quarantine where you’re bored out of your mind and looking for some wholesome content to distract you from current events. Well, look no further! Get ready to be schooled on the 100% accurate and indisputable rankings of the top 50 Jelly Belly flavors.
50. Banana
First on the list—banana. Like most banana flavored candies, it tastes nothing like banana. It also doesn’t taste good.
Rating: 3/10
49. Blueberry
Hello blueberry. This doesn’t taste like a blueberry at all but overall it’s decent.
Rating: 6/10
48. Berry Blue
Next, we have berry blue. I’m not entirely sure what this is supposed to be based off of, but either way I think it’s pretty good.
Rating: 7/10
47. Bubblegum
Bubblegum is next on the list. I really like this one and I think it captures the flavors perfectly (minus the blowing bubbles part).
Rating: 8.5/10
46. Buttered Popcorn
Buttered popcorn is something I believe should not have been made into a candy. If you wanted popcorn, why wouldn’t you just make some?
Rating: 3/10
45. Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe is pretty uninteresting in my mind; it’s decent but I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it in the giant jar.
Rating: 5/10
44. Coffee
Now I love coffee, but this is one of the most disgusting jelly bellies I have ever tasted (and I’ve eaten a vomit flavored jelly belly).
Rating: 1/10
43. Caramel Corn
Like the popcorn jelly belly, I’m not sure why they bothered to make caramel corn a flavor. However, at least this one was actually sweet to begin with.
Rating: 3.5/10
42. Chocolate Pudding
When they say the proof is in the pudding, I don’t think they meant in the chocolate pudding jelly belly. That’s just wrong.
Rating: 1/10
41. Chili Mango
Chili mango, much like actual mango, is wonderful and an asset to anything it’s added to.
Rating: 9/10
40. Spicy Cinnamon
I’m not a huge fan of spicy cinnamon, but I know that tons of people are. Same deal, I wouldn’t go out of my way for one.
Rating: 5/10
39. Coconut
A coconut jelly belly isn’t something I want to put in my mouth. I don’t care how many of you say it’s great– it isn’t.
Rating: 3/10
38. Cotton Candy
Cotton candy can’t help but make you smile, and I think that applies to the cotton candy jelly belly too. What a sweet treat!
Rating: 8/10
37. Cream Soda
Cream soda just tastes like a blob of sugar; which, if you’re into that, you probably enjoy.
Rating: 4/10
36. Crushed Pineapple
Crushed pineapple missed the mark a little bit, in my opinion. I would have preferred little more acidic tang. However, this pineapple treat won’t eat you back.
Rating: 6/10
35. Dr. Pepper
For someone who doesn’t drink soda, I have a strange love of Dr. Pepper jelly bellies. I think I like them more than I like the soda. Rating: 9/10
34. Pomegranate
Pomegranate went unnoticed for years; but, I was all in once I discovered it. Rating: 8/10
33. Green Apple
I constantly mistake green apple for lime, but they’re both tart so maybe that’s ok. Rating: 6/10
32. Island Punch
I don’t really have an opinion on island punch. Rating: 5/10
31. Juicy Pear
Juicy pear is a flavor I though would be terrible, but it’s delicious. I don’t even like pears that much. Rating: 9/10
30. Kiwi
I don’t know which one kiwi is. All the green ones kind of look the same. I don’t even know if it’s green. Rating: 6/10? How bad can it be?
29. Sunkist Lemon
Sunkist lemon tastes like a traditional lemon candy. Not sure if the Sunkist makes it special, but hey everyone needs to feel special, right? Rating: 6/10
28. Lemon Lime
I used to make lemon-lime flavored skittles by combining the lemon and lime ones (shocking, I know). This tastes like that. Rating: 6/10
27. Black Licorice
Licorice is something else I don’t think needed to be made into jelly belly form, but here we are. My mom loves them so I guess I can’t slam them too much. Rating: 5/10
26. Margarita
Margarita tastes like more extreme lemon-lime. Is that the point? Someone let me know. Rating: 4/10
25. Sunkist Orange
Once again, I’m not sure what adding Sunkist to the orange does to it. This tastes like orange. Nice. Rating: 6/10
24. Peach
Peach is another one I didn’t discover for way too long. While I wouldn’t eat an entire bag full of them, I really do enjoy them. Rating: 7.5/10
23. Orange Sherbet
Orange sherbet tastes like a more and less intense form of the orange jelly belly at the sam time. I don’t know how they did that. Rating: 5/10
22. Pina Colada
I don’t like Pina coladas, nor do I like the jelly belly version of it. Dancing in the rain is ok . Sorry guys. Rating: 4/10
21. Sunkist Grapefruit
Another Sunkist flavor, but this one is really good. Grapefruit is sweet and tart and delicious all at once. Rating: 10/10
20. Mango
I guess there’s a difference between mango and chili mango, but the analysis still stands. If it’s mango, it’s delicious. Rating: 10/10
19. Raspberry
Raspberry is kinda like blueberry– doesn’t really resemble its parent fruit but is still pretty decent. Rating: 6/10
18. Red Apple
The above analysis also applies to red apple. Rating: 6/10
18. Strawberry Jam
I’m not a fan of jams, so strawberry jam jelly bellies don’t really get me too pumped. Rating: 5/10
17. A&W Root Beer
A&W Root Beer is pretty accurate actually. I’m not sure what the secret it, but it actually does taste a little fizzy. Rating: 6/10
16. Cinnamon
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve popped a handful of what I thought were cherry jelly bellies into my mouth, only to have them be cinnamon. Isn’t there a way to tell them apart that doesn’t involve a microscope? I’m open to suggestions. Rating: 3.5/10
15. Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry cheesecake is already a dessert, so I’m not sure why they made it into another one. Rating: 4/10
14. Sunkist Tangerine
Here’s some more Sunkist flavors for your reading pleasure. My taste buds aren’t nuanced enough to distinguish the difference between tangerine and orange flavored jelly bellies. Maybe I’ll get there in time. Rating: 6/10
13. Sunkist Lime
Sunkist lime is pretty decent, as far as lime-flavored things go. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great. Rating: 6/10
12. Strawberry Daiquiri
Strawberry daiquiri isn’t really up my alley, nor do I have much to compare it to. Rating: 4/10
11. Toasted Marshmallow
Toasted marshmallow, not to be confused with regular marshmallow, is just sweet with a hint of some strange flavor that I can’t place. Rating: 3.5/10
10. Watermelon
Watermelon is the greatest flavor they have created thus far. I could eat a whole bag of these. Rating: 11/10
9. Tutti-Frutti
I don’t know what tutti-frutti is supposed to be based on, but it tasted like the color pink. I’m here for it. Rating: 9/10
8. Plum
Plum is a great addition and a very overlooked one. Go try one and you can thank me later. Rating: 8/10
7. Sour Cherry
Sour cherry has just the right amount of tartness to capture the flavor of cherries. Now if only I could stop mixing them up with cinnamon, then we’d be golden. Rating: 9/10
6. French Vanilla
French vanilla is similar to marshmallow, where it’s just sweet and with a slightly strange flavor. Rating: 4/10
5. Mixed Berry Smoothie
Mixed berry smoothie isn’t as healthy as a real one, but it tastes just as good. Rating: 8/10
4. Wild Blackberry
Wild blackberry seems hard to find, but it’s worth the hunt. Rating:8.5/10
3. Lemon Drop
Lemon drop is a delightfully tart addition to the citrus family. Rating: 7/10
2. Cherry
Just plain cherry is as sweet and tasty as if you’d just plucked a cherry off the tree. I can almost smell the orchards. Rating: 9/10
1. Hot Tamale
Even spicier than cinnamon, but at least I can tell them apart. Ranking: 2/10
