Candy that is a crime against humanity.

The only sweets I've had from America, other than Twinkies, are something that someone gave me when they came back from there... but unfortunately I can't remember what they were called, or who made them. I wish I knew because then I might be able to order some.  It was basically a large bag of about a hundred different flavours of jelly bean... everything from coffee to watermelon... and one of these flavours took me right back down memory lane because it tasted exactly the same as a chewing gum I used to like when I was a kid: Dentine. I've never tasted that flavour anywhere else except in that single 'gourmet' jelly bean. Any idea what those jelly beans are called and who makes them?

Those were probably Jelly Belly jelly beans.

They're the same guys that make the Bertie Bott's and Bean Boozled jelly beans.

It doesn't ring a bell or look familiar from that site... I'd recognise it I think if I heard/saw it again. But thanks for the suggestion anyway and for the link... that site apparently has international outlets, so that might be a way for me to get my hands on some American sweets... so yeah, thanks for that
