Zur Feier seiner Amtseinführung wurde eine neue Sorte geschaffen: “When Regan [sic] was elected president, arrangements were made for Jelly Bellies to be served at inaugural festivities. There was only one problem. The color scheme for the inaugural was red, white, and blue. There were red, yellow, white, orange, and black Jelly Bellies, but there was not a blue one. Recipes were tested and the blueberry Jelly Belly was developed specifically for Reagan’s inauguration. … While blueberry remains one of the most popular flavors, it was not Reagan’s favorite. That honor goes to the black licorice-flavored bean. Quelle:” President Ronald Reagan and Blue Jelly Beans (Memento vom 21. März 2015 im Internet Archive).
