The black jellybean conundrum is solved!!

The conundrum about black jellybeans solved!!

Best on black!!! Of course!!!

Former President Ronald Reagan famously said:
“You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.”

[Bec]

Yum! Totally works on black background. Cool concept.

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful b&w capture.

Surprise! I thought they were black beans :).

A fabulous low key shot! I don't think I have ever eaten a black one.

@ludwigsdiana
Thanks. The black jelly beans are aniseed flavoured and delicious.

Thanks. When I saw these at the shop today I just had to buy them! And then I knew what my photo for today was going to be. I did the editing while eating some of them.

[Susan Wakely]

A must see on a black background. I love the black ones.

[Dorothy]

Brought a smile 😊. I occasionally like a black jelly bean.
Definitely best on black.

Very nice image.

[Dawn]

A fabulous b & w ,Love black jelly beans

[Pat Knowles]

I can’t remember if I’ve ever eaten a black one…….i remember jelly beans a very colourful so perhaps black ones are a more classy variety! Will have to take note!

[Michelle]

Lovely capture

[Beverley]

Ooo I loved jelly beans, Great shot! Great story too - I really liked his persona

[Margaret Brown]

Love jelly beans. Great on black

[haskar]

Lovely black on black.

[Carole Sandford]

Great black on black. Personally I don’t like aniseed, you can have mine! 😉

[Phil Howcroft]

nice one John

[Pyrrhula]

Great close up of the black beans.

[Leslie]

I don't like the black ones which means more for my hubby . I do like how you captured them

[Francoise]

I love the way they float on black background; not sure what the conundrum is, though.

[Shutterbug]

You did a great job of capturing the details and highlights in this black on black image.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

No conundrum for me- eat all you want- I don't like black licorice in any candy form (o; I like your black on black shot though.

[LManning (Laura)]

Excellent black on black.

[Babs]

I love black jelly beans.

[John Falconer]

@francoise
Thanks. The conundrum is that some people like me only like the aniseed black ones not the coloured ones. This packet only contains black jellybeans so problem solved!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I tend to only eat the black jellybeans and give the rest away!!

[Paula Fontanini]

Most excellent on black!! :) I'm weird...I actually like the black jelly beans!!

[Rick]

Great shot. Really cool on the black background. I actually like the black jelly beans also.

[John Falconer]

@bluemoon @rickster549
Thanks. You’re not weird you just have a sophisticated palate.

[eDorre]

Terrific on black! And my fav jellybean!

[Yao RL]

Definitely must be viewed against black.

[Christina]

Fab on black and I love the black ones too

[Kathy A]

The best flavour by far

[Dione Giorgio]

Excellent b&w shot. I like these jellybeans but stay away from them, too much sugar in them.

[John Falconer]

@sangwann @kjarn @christinav @yaorenliu @edorreandresen
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. And yes there is a certain amount of the demon sugar used in making them!!

[Junko Y]

Love the black on black -- and to me, this image is a New Year's Black Beans reminder of Japanese tradition. Happy New Year to you!

[Corinne C]

Nice pic! I thought they were coffee beans!

[John Falconer]

@corinnec @jyokota

Sorry. Not coffee beans.

[Laura]
