Jelly beans are just like people.  You can't determine what is on the inside by simply looking at the outside.  It reminds us to experience people on at a time and enjoy their unique qualities. - Diversity Beans Motto

*~ It takes 7 to 21 days to make a jelly bean.

*~ While no one really knows the origin of jelly beans, they may be a descendant of Turkish Delight which were popular in biblical times.

*~ They use a process called “panning” which creates the hard outer shell while preserving the gooey middle.

*~  There are 130 calories and 37 grams of sugar in one serving of jelly beans which equals about 35 beans.

*~ April 22 and July 24th are National Jelly Bean Day.

*~ Most jelly bean assortments include eight flavors.

*~ The first appearance of what would become the modern day jelly bean was promoted to Union Soldiers during the Civil War.

*~ In the 1910s and early 1920s, the word “jellybean” referred to a young man who put a lot of great effort in to dressing stylishly. 

*~ They were the first candy to be sold by weight rather than by piece.  They were originally sold by color and people would buy a bag of red or a bag of green.

*~ Each year in the U.S, there are 16 billion jelly beans manufactured just for Easter.  This is enough to circle the Earth more than 3 times if they were laid end to end.

*~ Very Cherry Jelly Belly remained the most popular flavor of Jelly Belly beans for two decades until 1998, when Buttered Popcorn moved into first place. In 2003 Very Cherry moved back into top position by a mere 8 million beans.

*~ They were President Reagan’s favorite candy and he used them to help him quit smoking when he was the governor of California. As part of his first inauguration in 1981, 7,000 pounds of jelly beans were ordered and distributed. A portrait of President Ronald Reagan made from 10,000 Jelly Belly beans hangs in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.

*~ Jelly Belly jelly beans became the first jelly beans in space when they traveled aboard the 1983 Challenger Space Shuttle.

*~ A series of Harry Potter jellybeans featured flavors like dirt, earwax, pepper, and vomit. Mmmm.

*~ Easter Egg Hunting began in America when German immigrants brought their Osterhase tradition to Pennsylvania in the 1700s. The festivity soon spread across the nation, and baskets replaced nests. Eventually, the game evolved into a treasure hunt, and the prizes expanded from just hard-boiled eggs to include chocolate, candy, toys and coins.

*~ President Rutherford B. Hayes and First Lady Lucy Hayes hosted the first White House Egg Roll in 1878 after Congress passed a law in 1877 banning an Easter Egg Roll at the Capitol. Eggs have the highest nutritional quality protein of all food sources.  You will also benefit from antioxidants that fight cancer and reduce the effects of aging as well.Most eggs are laid between 7-11 AM

*~ Eggs have the highest nutritional quality protein of all food sources.  You will also benefit from antioxidants that fight cancer and reduce the effects of aging as well.*~ Most eggs are laid between 7-11 AM.

There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet and
put the darn ball in the basket. ~ Abe Lemmons

Did You Know...Basketball

*~ For the first two years after Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, soccer balls were used as the balls. In 1894, the first basketball was manufactured and made of laced leather. The molded version of a basketball was invented in 1948 and for about 50 years almost all basketballs were made of genuine leather. In the early 1990s, the first balls made of high-tech composite leathers began to appear. The NBA switched to a composite leather design in 2006, but the changes lasted only three months because of a barrage of complaints from players.

*~ The first men's college basketball game was played on January 18, 1896 between the University of Iowa and the University of Chicago. The final score was a mind blowing 15-12.

*~ NBA or professional balls and NCAA or college balls have similarities and differences. NBA balls are made of genuine leather and college balls are made of a composite material. NBA balls are made by Spalding and must be orange, 29-1/2 inches around, and they must weigh 22 oz. The official basketball of the NCAA tournament is the composite leather Wilson Solution. The NCAA requires balls to be between 29-1/2 and 30 inches around, to weigh between 20 and 22 oz.

*~ The first “hoops” were actually just peach baskets and the first backboards were made of wire. Back when peach baskets were used as the hoop, every time someone scored, a referee had to fetch the ball by climbing a ladder.  In 1913, the bottom of the basketball net is left open for the first time - meaning it was no longer necessary to retrieve the ball from the net, once a basket was scored.

*~ The most points scored by one team in college basketball was 258 scored by Troy University during a 258-141 thrashing of Devry on January 12, 1992.

*~ In 1986, the three-point field goal is introduced with the three-point line set at 19 feet, 9 inches from the center of the basket.

*~ Bevo Francis set a record in 1954 by scoring 113 points in a single game for the University of Rio Grande.

*~ Pistol Pete Maravich is college basketball's all-time leading scorer. He scored 3,667 points during his three seasons at LSU, where he averaged more than 44 points per game from 1968 to 1970!

*~ The most points scored by one team in college basketball was 258 scored by Troy University during a 258-141 thrashing of Devry on January 12, 1992.

*~ The first women's college basketball game was played on April 4, 1896 in San Francisco between Stanford and Cal. Stanford won the game 2-1, which was played with much different rules from modern basketball. There were nine players on each side and players could only play in certain areas of the court. Women weren't allowed to steal the ball from each other because it was considered "unladylike" and they had to wear clothes that covered every part of their body except their hands and face!

Ireland is where strange tales begin and happy
endings are possible. ~ Charles Haughey

Did You Know...The Emerald Isle aka Ireland

*~ 73% of Americans are unable to locate Ireland on a map bereft of country names.

*~ The song “When Irish Eyes are Smiling,” synonymous with Ireland and all things Irish, was written by two Americans, Graff and Olcott, in 1912. There are no records to show that they ever even visited Ireland.

*~ The guillotine was used by the Irish 500 years before the French adopted it.

*~ At the Olympics, boxing is Ireland's most successful sport.

*~ Ireland has had its own Olympics since the Bronze Age, called the Tailteann Games.

*~ Ireland is the only country in the world which has a musical instrument, the harp, as their national symbol. The oldest known harp in existence is housed in Trinity College, Dublin. It dates back from at least 1300.

*~ The original Guinness Brewery in Dublin has a 9,000 year lease on it's property, at a perpetual rate of 45 Irish pounds per year.

*~ Drisheen is a type of pudding made from cows, pigs or sheep blood. White pudding is a mixture of pork, cereal, bread, fat and suet. Periwinkles are sea snails boiled in salted water.

*~ The longest place name in Ireland is Muckanaghederdauhaulia.

*~ The average height of an Irish man is 5' 8"; women is 5'5".

*~ Only 9% of the Irish population are natural redheads.

*~ The Irish flag was designed to reflect the country’s political situation.  The orange stripe represents Irish Protestants, green is for Irish Catholics and white is for the hope that peace might eventually be reached between them. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
