The Definitive Ranking Of Jelly Bean Flavors

These are a little on the boring side, but heck, there's something to be said for old reliable.

Fireball fans probably grew up loving this sizzling flavor, which has just the right amount of kick.

Tastes just like the cold, frothy brews you kick back in the summertime. Cheers!

The black horse of the competition, Juicy Pear is a fan favorite across the country — probably thanks to its curiously mild (but addictive) flavor.

Tutti Frutti's flavor is hard to pin down. Personally, I think it's best described as a fruit punch snow cone with gummy bears tossed in. Mmmmmmm. 

Save yourself the calories of a slathered stack of hot cakes and pop a few jellies instead! They taste just like the real thing.

The OG of unique Jelly Belly flavors, Root Beer was one of the first Jelly Belly flavors introduced to the world. Bust out this bean whenever you want a taste of nostalgia. 

Perfect for people who love the taste of bubblegum but hate the idea of chewing the same piece of food for 30 minutes.

This is as close as we will ever get to popping a pack of Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans on our way to Hogwarts. It's not the flavor we're into; it's living the Gryffindor-robed dream.

Cute! Fun! Delicious! What more could you want from a jelly bean? The ultra sweetness of these beans means you only need a few to curb a sugar craving ... which means they're basically diet food (right? Uh, right.).

A classic flavor, the watermelon beans are sweet with just the right amount of tang. Pretty much a backyard picnic in your mouth.

I want to know why this flavor isn't higher on more lists. Are we in a flavor rut? Are we afraid of trying new things? Toasted Marshmallow is where it's at, end of story, period.

Creamy, fizzy, and vanilla-y, these beans will take you back to childhood.

One of the original Jelly Belly releases, black licorice has been at the top of fans' lists since 1976.

There's hard evidence that green apple fans are a loyal bunch. From Caramel Apple Pops to Green Apple Jolly Ranchers, the green apple flavor consistently ranks toward the top of best-of lists, and jellies are no exception. 

Buttered popcorn is the favored flavor of at least seven states across the US, according to this study. It's a godsend for braces-wearing, popcorn-loving people (finally: a safe way to enjoy your favorite snack!), and is by far one of the most unique jelly bean flavors around. Pop a few to get a taste of Jelly Belly's finest.
