When Beatlemania broke out in 1964, fans of the Beatles in the US pelted the band with jelly beans (emulating fans in the UK who threw the British candy Jelly Babies at George Harrison, who reportedly liked eating them).Shopping the Jelly Belly jelly bean selection is much walking through the grocery store aisles.
