Why do all the junk foods I like have to be run by crazy people? First Chik-Fil-A, now Jelly Belly.

I have been to their factory many times to take visitors on the tour. Normally they aren't too vocal about their politics (other than the Reagan display in the lobby) but during the last gubernatorial election there were Meg Whitman signs around the property.

only reason they got as big as they are. Even Gimbal's are better and they're not even the best.

For any curious Los Angelenos there is a candy shop in Larchmont (I can't remember the name but it's only one block long) that makes all their goods by hand. Best jelly beans I've ever had.
