Jelly beans are nothing new and date back to a least the 1860s. Printed advertisements have been found promoting sending them to Union troops fighting in the Civil War.
One of the biggest fans of jelly beans, was President Ronald Reagan. In fact the folks at Jelly Belly candy factory made these portraits for him and First Lady, Nancy Reagan, entirely out of their product.
