1. Buttered Popcorn
It’s salty, it’s buttery and it’s officially the most popular jelly bean flavor in the country.
2. Cinnamon
Moving up from third place this spicy flavor is a sign of the trend towards spiced candies overall.

This is a divisive flavor: you either love it or you hate it—but clearly it’s currently getting more love than hate as it takes the top third spot in the country for popular jelly bean flavors.
4. Cherry
As one the most traditional jelly bean flavors it should come as no surprise that this sweet staple is still a frontrunner after decades.
