At his 1981 inauguration, President Ronald Reagan added a sweet and patriotic touch to the celebration by ordering three and a half tons of red, white, and blue Jelly Belly jelly beans. To complete the tri-colored mix of Very Cherry and Coconut flavors, Jelly Belly specially created a new blue flavor—Blueberry—just for the occasion. Reagan, a devoted fan of the Jelly Belly brand, famously kept jars of their jelly beans in the Oval Office. The Blueberry flavor became an instant hit and, more than forty years later, remains one of the most popular in the Jelly Belly lineup.
