On Thursday morning, we left Chicago and headed to Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. We went to the Jelly Belly Factory and went on a tour. When we got there, we walked through the doors and all we saw were bright colors. There were 50 different kinds of jelly beans you could sample at the sampling bar. After wandering around for a little bit, we were brought to the back to start the tour. We were given hats to wear, because of FDA regulations in the factory. The tour only lasted about 30 minutes. They talked about how Jelly Belly was made and who made it. We learned that President Reagan was addicted to Jelly Belly jelly beans, and he even had a jar just for jelly beans on Air Force One. After the tour we were allowed to wander around some more and buy jelly beans. They even had a section for the misfit jelly beans, which were misshapen, too big, or too small. Those were called “Belly Flops”, and they were sold at a discounted price.
