Product Information

Herman Goelitz Candy Company, the Oakland-based producer of the jelly beans, sent a monthly shipment to the Governor's Office throughout Reagan's two terms in Sacramento. Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible. The Mini Jelly Bean had natural flavoring added to the center and the outer shell was flavored, which was innovative for the time. A fourth facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, was a distribution center and a visitor center until liquidation began on August 3, 2020; it closed.

Ronald Reagan, who "had quit smoking years before and turned to popping candy as an oral substitute", first tried the company's [mini] jelly beans in 1969. Reagan appeared in ads for Chesterfield cigarettes in the ‘40s and ‘50s, but his vice of choice was pipe smoking. When Ronald Reagan ran for Governor of California in 1966, he began eating "Goelitz Mini Jelly Beans" as part of his successful attempt to give up pipe smoking. Over the years, new additions have included strawberry daiquiri, margarita, mojito, and piña colada.But whatever you do at the factory, you’ll be watched over by the presence of former President Ronald Reagan.
