DESCRIPTION:

National Jelly Bean Day celebrates the Civil War-era candy.

Jelly beans, originally "Boston beans," are a product of the American Civil War, introduced in 1861 by Boston candy maker William Schrafft. As part of his marketing campaign, he encouraged patrons to send jelly beans to troops in the Union Army.

The first mention of jelly beans in the press was in an advertisement on July 5, 1905.

During the 1930s, jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and eggs became a staple of Easter celebrations. By the 1980s, jelly beans had achieved high office, with President Ronald Reagan insisting upon a bowl of jelly beans in his office.
