    Why did Ronald Reagan start eating jelly beans in 1967?

    Question #117551. Asked by star_gazer. (Sep 15 10 9:54 PM)

    		Soon after Ronald Reagan became Governor of California in 1967, he began eating “pectin” jelly beans made by Herman Goelitz Candy Company, in order to help him give up a pipe-smoking habit. When Herman Goelitz’s Jelly Bellies first appeared on the market in 1976, Reagan quickly switched to them.
