I heard some yeses and some nose. But here's the thing. When you think of jelly beans,

what flavor are you thinking of? After all, jelly beans come in many flavors. Go ahead,

shout some out. Nice. And then there's gourmet jelly beans, like the ones made by Jelly Belly,

that you can experiment with. Have you ever done that? If you eat two blueberry ones and a popcorn

one at the same time, it tastes just like a blueberry muffin. Meet my friend Candice. She's an expert

on flavors. Did you know there are people whose job it is to test flavors before they're added to

foods? Yep, that's what I do. Of course, it's not always fun. Sometimes I spend all day tasting

different protein shakes. I'd rather taste jelly beans. Did you know two cotton candy jelly beans

and two lemon jelly beans make pink lemonade? Amazing. But tell me, how are flavors made?

Too much smoke from magical engines. I think I used too much smoke. Just a tad.

More importantly, who are you? I'm Flavio the Fantastic,

Enchander of the Edible, Sorcerer of the Succulent, Charmer of the Chewable.

Oh, doesn't ring a bell. I'm a flavor magician. I change ordinary things into tasty delights

with magic. Just like those magic beans. You mean these jelly beans? Yes! Taste what happens when

I plant them in this soil. Hey, I was eating those. Actually, you don't need magic to make flavors.

The flavors found in jelly beans and other treats are the product of science.

Science and magic.
