Well, we have now concluded our scientific investigation into jelly bean preference by color, and the results upended years worth of previous experience. This is a photo of our jelly bean bowl at the beginning of the test period. We fully expected to publish another picture alongside it - a picture that would be dramatically different, showing a bowl full of black, green and a few yellow and purple jelly beans. Much to our surprise, we could not take that photo - the bowl looked virtually identical at the end of the test period. Maybe we influenced the results by telling people who expressed a preference for black beans to take as many as they wanted . . . maybe not. Maybe the taste buds of our customers have been subtly changing. At any rate, after several weeks of jelly bean consumption, we posit the theory that all colors of jelly bean are equally popular. Next years results expected post March 31st - and we promise not to April Fool you !
and we apologize for the odd spacing of this post - another mystery - to us, anyway!
