Several people have told us about a free tour of the Jelly Belly factory in Northern California, so on our way back from our trip to San Francisco we just couldn't resist stopping to check it out. We're both pretty inquisitive in regards to how things are made (we love watching shows like "How it's made") so we figured this would be pretty awesome. We weren't let down!

All of the pictures inside the Jelly Belly factory are made out of (you guessed it) jellybeans! Most of the pictures are made up of over 10,000 individual jellybeans!

We weren't allowed to take pictures on the actual manufacturing floor, but we were able to see the whole process. Unfortunately we went during the weekend so nothing was actually running, but it was still cool to see all the machinery and each stage of the jellybean. We also got to try out some of the new flavors they are working on, and also some of those horrible trick jellybeans (think earwax, dog food, and rotten egg). With all the free jellybeans that you wanted to try, who wouldn't love coming here? We would just recommend if you are interested in going that you go on a weekday so you can see everything in action!

Oh Blech! Just thinking about those Bean-Boozled flavors makes me want to puke! Especially the moldy cheese, centipede, and skunk spray! I can't believe we actually went ahead and tried them all!
Ew! Skunk spray!? That's nasty... I didn't even know you guys went to the jelly belly factory. That's way sweet. You should have taken me with you :) And Bruce says...you should have taken the both of us.
Woops..that wasn't supposed to be anonymous. It's me :)
