Jelly Belly has been turning out flavor rich jelly beans for decades now. So when I saw Jelly Belly gourmet soda I figured that they would be able to transfer that flavor to a carbonated drink. The first flavor I tried was their strawberry jam. This drink is sweetened with cane sugar and contains only natural flavors.
Wow, was that disappointing. First off, I don’t know what makes this strawberry jam over just regular strawberry. Second, the flavor was much weaker than I thought it would be. In fact, I didn’t think it was better than any other mass produce super market strawberry soda pop. Where is that flavor punch that Jelly Belly is so well known for. Do yourself a favor and buy the strawberry jam jelly beans not the “gourmet” soda.
Where to Buy
Angeli Foods in Iron River, Michigan

If you know of any other locations, please leave me a comment and I will add them to the list.
