Postulated: black jellybeans are #cheaper to produce than any of the other flavours in a bag of "fruit-flavoured" #jellybeans.
This is why the number of black jellybeans in a bag is continually increasing, despite no one [*] actually liking them.
And again, to the #Dare company and others: #black #licorice is NOT a "#fruit #flavour", so stop putting them in there!
[*] Yes, except you, you weirdo.
