Fairfield's 50-year-old jelly bean confectioning juggernaut has announced that it is being sold to another giant American sweets company.

Jelly Belly jelly beans exemplify so-called American ingenuity: They took what had basically been colorful but boring sugar balls ubiquitous in the bottom of Easter Baskets and made them into a flavor empire hailed by at least one president of the United States, Ronald Reagan.
