Pancakes and Maple Syrup Jelly Bellys

OK.

I am taking a poll.
The latest flavor of Jelly Bellys is reported to be Pancakes and Maple Syrup.  I happen to really love Maple donuts, so this doesn't sound too bad to me.  However, Draft Beer Jelly Bellys, a recent release from Jelly Belly did not hit the top of the charts.  Although a sweet taste, I couldn't find the beer flavor in the bean.
Then out came Champagne...do you sense a pattern here?  Champagne has done a little better, but the results are not in.  The one great thing about Champagne Jelly Bellys is the wonderful color of the bean.
We are wondering why Jelly Belly didn't come out with Bacon Beans.  Having been through a couple of years of bacon flavored candies, it would seem a natural for a jelly bean.
I do want to share a little story about Bean Bozzled.  If you haven't heard of that game, it is distributed by Jelly Belly.  We carry it and the refills of the Jelly Bellys for the game.
Someone reported that they played the game at work and one player had to eat the Skunk Jelly Belly....do you get the picture?  Not only did it taste really awful, but the smell of it permeated the room.  Unfortunately that player had a conference meeting shortly after and we aren't sure if he got rid of the Skunk smell.
The Candy Biz has a lot of memorable moments....bet you hadn't thought about that!
So let me know what you think of Jelly Bellys unusual flavors.
