Jelly Beans and Ronald Reagan.

I did not know about Ronald Reagan's liking for Jelly Beans. Yesterday, when I was chatting with my 9 year old niece, she showed me what she was doing. There was a small bowl full of jelly belly candies and she told me that she is going to be the president of America because she is eating the favorites of Ronald Reagan.

Is it true?

I dug around and came with a few odd bits regarding Jelly Belly and Reagan.

*Jelly Belly company created the flavor Blueberry in 1981, to celebrate his inauguration.

* Reagan is said to have kept a jar of the candies on his desk and n his private plane.

Hmmm.. I should find out what is Manmohan Singh's favorite.
