Jelly Belly Candy Company’s “What’s Your Favorite Flavor?” national consumer promotion sweepstakes, running through July, offers a grand prize valued up to $25,000.

Special promotional packages of 3.5-, 7- and 9-ounce and 2-pound bags of Jelly Belly Assorted, Sours, Tropical Mix and Fruit Bowl Flavors shipped through March 2005 were printed with unique access codes that allow consumers to enter the sweepstakes online.

In addition, 3,000 Jelly Belly Bean Machines will be awarded for instant win tokens found inside the larger packages.

Using the access codes printed inside each package, consumers go online to select a favorite flavor. The grand prize will be keyed to the flavor—for instance, a vote for Cappuccino could win someone a vacation to Italy; or a vote for Very Cherry could win someone a cherry red automobile. One winner will be randomly selected.
