My Top 10 Jelly Belly Flavours

I am spoilt for choice, and with the tens of varieties of flavours of Jelly Belly, I do not really have one favourite. In fact, I do not have two or three favourites but ten which may change more often than not depending on how I feel at any given moment in time. Currently, my top 10 Jelly Belly flavours are Orange, Pina Colada, Red Apple, Green Apple, Strawberry Cheesecake, Raspberry, Cinnamon, Very Cherry, Mango and Top Banana.
Thanks to the many different flavours of Jelly Belly, I am spoilt for choice. I can go to my favourite sweet shop and ask for several of my top 10 Jelly Belly flavours or simply look for a mix of everything I love plus a little bit of those that are not in my top 10.
Did you know that Ronald Reagan’s favourite sweets were Jelly Belly? This is probably why thousands of Americans love Jelly Belly beans. He did a lot to popularise Jelly Belly. His favourite flavours are actually not in my top 10 Jelly Belly flavours. He loved Blueberry and said that he could not start an official meeting without first passing around the Jelly Belly can.
In fact, there is no sweets lover who does not enjoy the taste of one or more of the scrumptious Jelly Belly flavours. They can be taken anywhere, and you do not have to unwrap them from wrappers to eat them. You can munch on them while driving, cooking, reading or working in the office. The many flavours are there for your choosing and I’m sure there are tens of Jelly Belly beans you will love. With more and more flavours being created, Jelly Belly can be enjoyed by people of all ages and with a variety of tastes.

I Can Spend Hours In A Sweet Shop

I can spend hours in a sweet shop, trying to become a child again. There is always a child in every one of us even though we do not always want to admit it. This is the reason why we have never gotten over our love for sweets. We all love sweets, especially retro sweets. I’m sure we all remember trying to get our hands in the sweets jars at home, being bribed with sweets to get some chores done at home or even paying off our friends with sweets. Life seemed simpler back then.

Even after several years, I can spend hours in a sweet shop; spoilt for choice among the sweets in the shop. It is often the highlight of any shopping day; trying to choose which sweets I want and settling for my favourites from my childhood.

Amongst my favourite is Space Dust popping candy: it is one of the most fun sweets of all time because it crackles and explodes on your tongue. I still can’t seem to get over the excitement of the popping sound of these sweets. Parma Violets are also personal favourites, thanks to their unmistakable flavour. The demand for Parma Violets is high; it seems I’m not the only one in love with retro sweets. I can spend hours in a sweet shop, trying to decide which among Black Jacks, Candy Canes and Lollies to choose from. I love the colour Black Jacks leave in the mouth, the minty taste of Candy Canes and the many colours and flavours of Lollies.

What Shall I Buy From The Sweets Shop Today?

What shall I buy from the sweets shop today? Are you asking yourself the same question? If yes, then you are lucky since you have the privilege of having a large variety of sweets to choose from. If no, you need to look for an online sweets shop with larger and more interesting varieties of sweets to choose from.

There is no one who does not like sweets and anyone who is keeping away from them is doing it for other reasons, not because they don’t like sweets. So, if you are not spoilt for choice and you are not finding thre answer to what shall I buy from the sweets shop today, here are some pointers that will help you decide.

Firstly, what occasion are you buying sweets for? To put it simply, are you buying sweets for kids, adults, senior citizens or a variety?  Buy the kinds of sweets that will be enjoyed by everyone. There are lots of sweets for kids on the market today and you can combine pick n mix sweets with some sour varieties to give them a great time. There is no doubt that older people will enjoy some chewy and hardboiled varieties and of course retro sweets. Keep in mind that there are those who may not enjoy sweetened sweets and will prefer the sugar free variety. If there are any special tastes and flavours to think of, make sure you have lived up to the expectations.

The other consideration for the question what shall I buy from the sweets shop today is the money you have to spend on the sweets. This rarely is an issue but when you have to buy lots of sweets for a large party, you may have to give up the variety for a little bit of quantity, since smaller sweets can be cheaper.

I Can't Wait For My Next Visit To The Sweetshop

I can't wait for my next visit to the sweetshop, the online sweets shop. You do know that you can buy sweets online now, don’t you? Even if you live in a town in the middle of nowhere, you can still enjoy some of your favourite sweets (provided you have a postal address, of course).  We all love sweets and even when we age, we can’t seem to shake off our love for sweets. Loving sweets is more or less a human trait that we can not shake off.

Let’s face it, not so many people have access to candy shops and even when they do, chances are these candy shops do not have the variety that they want for one reason or another. This is the reason online retailers of sweets are so popular, since they can be visited from any part of the world, without having to move an inch from your home.

In fact, I can't wait for my next visit to the sweetshop because I’m assured that they will get delivered right to my doorstep whenever I want. This is the other factor that is pushing the market towards online buying; the lack of time. No one really has the time to shop for sweets and if you can be exposed to a large variety of sweets at the same time, why not?

You will find all the retro sweets you have ever wanted to taste in shops that specialise in retro sweets. In some others, you will find exotic varieties of chocolates and other brands of sweets. One of the main reasons I can't wait for my next visit to the sweetshop is because I can visit several sweets shops at the same time, even when they are worlds apart from each other. This can be done without spending an extra dime on transportation or wasting an extra minute in visiting all the shops physically.

Thank Heavens For Sweets

Thank heavens for sweets; there are hundreds of varieties to choose from. For a long time we have been lovers of sweets, and no one can say that they have not wanted to taste the sweets they used to love as a kid. There are sweets for all kinds of people and occasions and I’m sure there is a special memory that defines your generation. With any upcoming event that will have people of all ages present, you will probably be wondering what exactly to put on the table and what will please the taste buds of your guests.

Some of the greatest varieties of sweets we have are available from online sweets shops. Which is even more reason to say thank heavens for sweets, since we do not have to shop from sweets shops the way we used to do when we were younger. With the availability of the Internet you can shop for sweets from wherever in the world you are and get a feel of sweets from different cultures of the world. Choosing them from online shops is easier and the experience is phenomenal. For those who still prefer the experience of yesteryear by looking into jars of sweets of all colours, textures and tastes, you can always shop from regular sweets shops on the high street.

There are sweets of all kinds in the world of sweets and depending on what your tastes are, you will always have something to choose from. Even if you are watching your weight, you can still buy sugar free sweets and relish the feeling from the good old days when all you could think of was your next trip to the candy shop. Sweets are rarely expensive and even retro sweets are still widely available. The wide varieties of sweets come in packages that are very attractive as well. Thank heavens for sweets!

Old Fashioned Sweets Are Still The Best


Have you noticed that the current trends are favouring everything that was once considered old fashioned? The same is the case with sweets and currently old fashioned sweets are still the best. While certain things go in and out of fashion, old fashioned sweets are forever popular with all ages.
In fact, old fashioned sweets are still the best since they were made for enjoyment rather than pure commercial value. At the time when they were being invented these sweets had a nutritional value as well a commercial value. These are the same sweets we refer to as retro and most of them were invented in the early years of the 20th century.
I think old fashioned sweets are still the best as they have maintained the quality they had at the time they were first introduced on the market. They are still going strong and some of the most popular are Sherbet Lemons, Rhubarb & Custard, Pear Drops, Aniseed Balls and Barley Sugar. Keeping up with the times, these old fashioned sweets are now available from online sweet shops as well as the local candy store.

I Love Mixing My Millions Sweets Altogether

I love mixing my Millions sweets altogether since I can get all the flavours I want all at once. Right from the time we were kids, we loved sweet things. This is not only a human trait, it is a character that has been witnessed in animals as well since they too have a preference for all things sweet. Animal matters aside, do you remember the time when all your allowance money went on sweets and you could not wait to join the queue at your favourite sweets shop to get the latest sweets?

Another thing that is common in humans is our love for different kinds of sweets. Human beings love many types of sweets, no one can say that they love a one kind of sweet and that is why mixing them in one package seems like the best to me.

Not many sweets dealers give you the chance to mix Millions sweets and that is why I love mixing my Millions sweets altogether. Millions sweets come in many flavours and their jars are coloured according to the colour of the flavour. The flavours available currently are strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, orange, cola, bubblegum and lemon. Millions sweets are great for parties and it is great to mix all the flavours together.

Having people choose from the different colours and the fact that they can be decorative at the same time is one of the reasons I love mixing my Millions sweets altogether.
