You Can Buy What? #2

had a few different ideas for the second installment of this series, but this one? Oh, this one is just the right amount of kooky. A little weird, kind of adorable, and honestly, it made me smile in that “okay, what is this?” kind of way. So, I was deep in a Google rabbit hole, casually browsing “strange candy” (as one does), and boom—there they were: cocktail-flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans. Yes, really. Because apparently, if you can’t drink your feelings, you can chew them. Now, full disclosure: I’m not a big jelly bean person. Like, they’re fine. I don’t hate them, but if there’s literally any other candy around, I’m walking right past the beans like they owe me money. But these? These caught my eye. I mean... they sound kind of delicious? The Jelly Belly "Cocktail Classics Mix" includes five flavors: Piña colada, strawberry daiquiri, mojito, peach bellini, and pomegranate cosmo. Basically, it's like someone spilled a bottomless brunch into a candy factory and Jelly Belly just rolled with it. Are these the weirdest candies I’ve come across? Maybe not. But they are weird enough. Like, they’re not your average “here’s a boring old lemon flavor” jelly beans. These came to party—with tiny imaginary umbrellas. So tell me: would you try these boozy little beans? Or is this a "thanks, but I like my sugar and my regrets separate" situation?
