    Just a small packet, and there's a small chance that your requested favourite sweet will be in the packet. That cannot be guaranteed, though. I've never gotten a free Tutti Frutti!
    Looks like I got some today - though now it says

    "Please note: if you are a successful applicant you will
    now not be eligable for another sample pack for three months."

    Ah, not true. Jelly Belly sometimes doesn't keep track of things.

    Best time on holidays to go and get your free sweets are around midnight. The same is not for school/work days, however; just go online at 6-10:00am. Go on at about 6, 7 or 8:00am for the best results, though. 10:00am is most likely the time people will go on there. People have to go to work. ;)
    Thanks for that. Looks like I'll be having some late nights until the holidays are over! :sad:

    Got through today!
  • Oh, and once you get the sweets, try looking online to see what combinations you can make. You might not be able to make any as you only get about 0.75-1 dozen sweets in a pack. You also get a card containing most of Jelly Belly's official recipes.

    But a word of advice - Don't use the recipes. The beans taste nice on their own without having to be mixed with others...

    And if you want to get these in the shops, you can get them from Cybercandy. There is one in the West End. I once got on which has about 10,000 beans inside! They had every flavour, and it only got about £3. That was about a year ago and they might've raised the price. Still worth checking, though. A big bag lasts for months - Eating about a dozen jelly beans a day!

    Got through first time at 5pm. Keep trying everyone. You will enjoy when you get them.
  • If you do enjoy the freebies, but the real packets are too expensive - Home bargains have a tube of these jelly beans for 99p! We bought some and took about an hour splitting them up and making new flavour combinations as a family - sad, I know but we had a great time and it didn't cost much !!!
