Why are you reporting this puzzle?

The jelly bean dates back to at least the 1860s, when jars of the tasty treats were promoted as morale boosters for army troops fighting in the Civil War.

Jelly beans were always traditionally made from sugar and artificial flavours, but in the 1980s a revolution in jelly bean varieties exploded with the introduction of "Jelly Belly" jelly beans. Made with real fruit juices, and in flavours such as tangerine, green apple, and very cherry, Jelly Belly soon became one of the most popular jelly beans in the nation.

Even President Ronald Reagan was known for his love of Jelly Belly jelly beans, as he always kept a jar of the sweet treats on his desk in the Oval Office. Reagan later became responsible for launching the very first jelly beans into space when he sent a jar to the 1983 Challenger crew as a surprise for the astronauts!

Today, jelly beans are more popular than ever and are produced at a mind-boggling 16 billion a year. Still the most popular colour of jelly bean among American kids? Red!
