Wow.
My mother discovered these and I have to say, it's pretty darn cool.
Jelly Belly - the makers of the best darn jelly beans in the world - like the rest of us, isn't perfect.
Sometimes, their jelly beans have twins. Or triplets. Or some are too small or too large. Or slightly off color. Or way off color.
Instead of pitching them, they throw 'em all together in a giant vat, bag them in 2 lb bags and sell them as "Belly Flops".
They're just as good as regular Jelly Belly beans.
You can get random bags from the Jelly Belly Outlet store (official source)
http://www.jellybellyoutlet.com/
$8/bag, "FREEFLOP" coupon codes gives you buy three get one free.
Shipping for one bag (for me, at least) was about $6. Four bags is about $8.
The down side of ordering here is apparently, if you order more than one at a time, the bags will tend to have the same "mix" in them (whatever was being ran that day).
On the other hand, you can order from here:
http://www.jbflops.com
From the sounds of it, this is just someone who lives near the actual JB plant and buys them and resells them.
Bags are $8.50 and you can pick the random bag you get (see the site if that confuses you...
). Nice - since it allows you to get different assortments. Shipping from them is about $5 for every two bags you get.
Lemme tell you, these things are tasty. Well worth it. If I ever manage to get this 2 pound bag down, I'm totally ordering some of my own. Dang, they're good.
