The Story:
Apparently this is the story of David Klein, the man who invented the Jelly Belly jelly bean.
I say apparently, because at 10 minutes in, I was bored to tears, and turned it off.
How could something as inherently interesting as the inventor of the Jelly Belly be so mind-numbingly awful?
I don't know.
The more I think about it, I still don't know.
I half want to keep watching to see if it gets better.
Apparently he loses the company in a business deal and that's a terrible shame, but then I would just have sympathy for a character that I found rather obnoxious and boring.
Not the kind of guy I want to give my sympathy to.
I mean, having toured the factory in California, the place is great, and I love the way they make their products.
And Very Cherry is the single greatest Jelly Belly flavor.
Ever.
But, I'd rather eat a bag of black licorice jelly beans than waste another moment on this one.
Available to stream on Netflix if you'd rather try it yourself.
Final Grade: F
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: You had me at Jelly Belly. You lost me when you brought in the guy himself.
