" Take a look at all these jelly beans we have from the world's first gore made jelly -- maker. Jelly belly in our final installment of sweet spot we're joined by the vice chairman of jolly belly release of fracture. Also Fifth Generation candy maker I think most people think of jelly belly. They heard about it first when President Reagan started having jolly bellies on the at the meeting and meetings in the White House is that what major company."
" I think that that had a huge impact on our company and a a lot of people don't know that we were actually supplying. President Reagan back when he was governor of California in 1966. And and onward you know when he went to the White House. Of course jelly belly went along with him there and that was a huge huge boost for our business once people found out that jelly belly was. Supplying President Reagan we actually went to seven."
" It was a great great grandfather I think right that was in the business that would have give up sales -- projecting that sales are going to be. A 200 million for twenty -- 2010. At 160 million now also that's a fairly large job. Where are you seeing the growth in sales of -- as -- overseas customers or is that United States customs. I would say both."
" Our international market is really growing I think we're selling to over 66 different countries now. We have also opened a factory which my brother Rendell I land and and that facility is supplying the rest of the world for us. Which is it then great because it relieve some of the pressure that we had here. And."
" Let's talk about products really -- we've got -- got candy corn we've got this site got some Halloween treats here I mean is is how we DivX. Moneymaker for you were saying it -- we -- we got to see jelly beans right now we're seeing a lot of different things the sports means that you sell I've actually noticed from there."
" before. Right we do have a lot of new different products available and Halloween is near and dear to our hearts because our company was actually founded on -- especially candy corn. Back to the late 198. At back to the late nineteen. Eighteen hundreds excuse me sell. -- it's very special to us we still used pretty much the same recipe that we did back then and it's what our company limped off of for years until around the 1960s. When we started to diversify our line in -- jelly beans and chocolates and and dummies we we're the first American company to make dummies in the United States so we are it. Very much. A company that comes out with new things off and a new flavors every year and the sport beans and I think that is something that really helps us to stay cutting edge and help our consumers to always be looking for the next thing that will be coming out with."
" Yet and that sugar prices a lot of people like about taxi sugars and also. The whole question about just the food police out there are you involved in any worries about this for your business of what impact. He would have that they do start taxing sugar for you."
" Yeah that's something we always worry about and the national confectionery association is great in representing us in the issues that are happening. With sugar and it seems like it's been a problem for many many years and we really work on that as industries and it I expect that'll be something that will deal -- for a long time with -- all the different issues that come up with taxiing and just that they're looking to tax every kind of product not just sugar candy and Lisa -- for the vice chairman of jelly belly Lisa thank you for appearing on Fox Business -- appreciate it man.
