Jelly beans are small bean-shaped sugar candies with soft candy shells and thick gel interiors. The confection comes in a wide variety of colors and flavors, and is primarily made of sugar.
The Turkish delight, a Turkish dessert made of soft jelly covered in confectioner's powder, was an early precursor to the jelly bean and inspired its gummy interior. However, it is generally thought that jelly beans first surfaced in 1861, when Boston confectioner William Schrafft urged people to send his jelly beans to soldiers during the American Civil War. It was not until July 5, 1905, that jelly beans were mentioned in the Chicago Daily News. The advertisement publicised bulk jelly beans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book The Century in Food: America's Fads and Favorites. Today, most historians contend that jellybeans were first linked with celebrations of Easter in the United States sometime in the 1930s for their egg-like shape. In politics, jelly beans earned fame as Ronald Reagan claimed them as his favorite treat.

Plot: If Jack and the Beanstalk was set in Seattle and mixed with heavy doses of drugs, strippers, snowboarding, masturbation, skateboarding, animation, fireballs and set to an incredible Northwest hip-hop soundtrack, it would be Swamper - a dark comedy about a week in the life of a Lusty Lady jizz-mopper.

Well that's the name we picked for you
And it fits you to-a-T
And now I tell you why it's true
'Cause you're sweet 'n' swell 'n' round
And a-pretty to the pound, Jelly Bean
There's a guy who lives in our block
His name is curly Carr
Each night he comes around the street
Packin' his guitar
Stops at Jelly Bean's house
That pretty little thing
Bows his head and bends his knees
You oughta hear him sing
Jelly Bean comes to the window
And she listens for a while
Never even blinks her eye, always in a smile
Tosses up her pretty curls and turns to go
Packs his guitar on more time
And sings his tale of woe
