FAIRFIELD, Calif. -- The Jelly Belly Candy Co. has launched its new Retro Collection, a lineup of products influenced by various milestones in the company’s history.
This marks the company’s fourth product launch of 2018. Previous releases included Organic Smoothie Jelly Beans, the Jurassic World Collection and the Incredibles 2 Collection—the latter two in partnership with the respective films.
Five of the six Retro Collection products arrive in 1960s-inspired cans, which stand roughly 3 inches tall and are scheduled for shipping in August. Each can contains a resealable plastic lid, which keeps the candy fresh and makes it a practical and versatile gift, according to the company.
Here are the products in Jelly Belly’s Retro Collection …
