Kentucky’s Most Famous Food Will Be a New Jelly Bean Flavor in 2026

The Worst Game I Ever Played

A long time ago, I played a terrible game. It did not end well for anyone.

The game was called Beanboozled. When you buy the Jelly Belly Beanboozled game, you get a mix of yummy jelly beans and absolutely disgusting ones. You spin a wheel, land on a color, and have to eat that jellybean. It could be a fruity flavor or it could taste like vomit.

Why Do People Play Beanboozled?

Why we played this game is still beyond me. Maybe it was the thought of seeing your friend’s face when they bit into something horribly gross. Maybe it was the thrill of taking a risk without facing real consequences.

Either way, it was awful. Still, I think I might pick one up for my family to play this Thanksgiving. That kind of chaos is perfect for us.

KFC Is Releasing Jelly Beans

If you like weird candy but do not want to eat canned dog food or boogers, there is a new option. KFC is teaming up with Frankford Candy to release jelly beans that taste like fried chicken, sweet corn, and gravy.

Anyone else getting Violet Beauregarde vibes?

A Quick Look at Kentucky Fried Chicken History

Kentucky Fried Chicken has been a part of Kentucky history since the Great Depression. In 1930, Harlan Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders, began serving ham and steak dinners at a filling station he was leasing. Soon after, he took over the lease of the Pure Oil filling station across the road and started serving fried chicken to travelers.

It was not long before his chicken was franchised across the country and eventually around the world. That is how KFC became a global name.

Where Can I Get KFC Jelly Beans?

According to Snackolator, these jelly beans will not be available until 2026, and it is still unclear where they will be sold. For now, the only option is a distributor’s website where buyers can join a waitlist to eventually offer these unusual jelly beans.

So, would you eat them?
