Clements' Shoppers, Employees Become 'Bean Boozled' At Jelly Belly Visit [Video]
The Jelly Belly tour truck stopped by Clements' Market on Wednesday afternoon, offering samples, raffles and jelly beans to the bravest customers.
Is the jelly bean's flavor skunk spray or licorice? Rotten egg or buttered popcorn? Peach or barf?
Dozens of customers were asked just that Wednesday afternoon outside the grocery store, where the Jelly Belly tour truck stopped by for a quick visit.
Jim and Ruth Coffey of California operate the tour, driving the Jelly Belly recreational vehicle for 10 months out of the year across the United States. They visit stores along the East Coast, offering Jelly Belly samples, raffles and the chance for customers to be "Bean Boozled."

The Coffeys' next stop is Fairhaven, MA, before arriving at Cape Cod. Dozens of Clements' Market employees and customers stopped by the vehicle and booth before they left.

"It's just good will," said Clements' manager Jerry Bloom. "We've had a pretty good response."
On Wednesday, Ruth Coffey gave away free samples, while her husband invited customers to spin the Jelly Belly wheel. Customers were then asked to try a jelly bean, which could be either a delicious flavor or a "gross" flavor.
