As long as I can remember Jelly Bellys have been the premier jelly bean. Every other jelly bean was a stale, uni-flavored, sugary mass whereas Jelly Bellys had distinct, unique, wonderful flavors. I'm in my room staring at a candy dispenser full of Jelly Bellys right now. Who invented Jelly Bellys never crossed my mind. I figured they were spit out of the boardroom of some company and it just worked. I certainly didn't know a quirky guy named David Klein was the brains behind the Jelly Belly brand.
"Candyman: The David Klein Story" is about the creation of the Jelly Belly brand and how it became a product of the Goelitz Candy Company. The documentary is a little scattered at times because it hinges on the storytelling of David Klein, an eccentric and "unusual" man, but it gives you enough information to know about Jelly Belly.
I don't think this documentary would interest many people who are not into Jelly Belly. They don't go into how it's made, there wasn't a grand conspiracy to steal it, and nobody died under suspicious circumstances. It's just about an upbeat and offbeat kind of guy who came up with an idea around 1976 that people like me enjoy to this day.
