Ronald Reagan first tried the Mini Jelly Beans in 1966. “The then California governor had quit smoking years before and turned to popping candy as a…substitute.” Reagan wrote to Herman Rowland, Sr. while governor, “It’s gotten to the point…where we can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around a jar of jelly beans. We owe you a special measure of thanks for helping keep our state government running smoothly.
