[rant] Who is the loose cannon in product development at Jelly Belly?
Maybe you can remember when Jelly Belly started releasing the more eclectic jelly bean flavors? I'd like to say it's astonishing that after the Buttered Popcorn flavored jelly bean failed so miserably they decided that pudding was a good idea? First of all pudding is dead to kids these days. They eat all kinds of cleverly packaged yogurt based products instead. Did the executives at Jelly Belly look at an inventory report one day and see 100 million gallons of Buttered Popcorn flavoring lying around and say, "Let's get into the pudding business"?
So now it sits on the clearance shelf.
$0.50 for a four pack. Which is insulting to everyone except the idiot that buys it. The supermarkets are to blame as well. Which one of the fucking buyers thought it would actually sell? They probably got a free 60" Plasma TV for buying 5 pallets of this goo. And the savings get passed on to us. Yeah right.
What a massive fail.
