00:00Well, it's a call line, call line, fun fact, fun fact, woo!
00:06Well, today is National Jelly Bean Day.
00:08Is it?
00:09Yes, and did you know that it takes almost two weeks to make, like, a Jelly Belly jelly bean?
00:14One of them?
00:15Yeah, because the flavors, they take a while to cure.
00:21Okay.
00:21They say the process involves molding centers, drying, coating, and polishing,
00:26and then hands-on work takes hours, the majority of the time is spent,
00:31letting the beans rest, dry, and build their sugar shells.
00:35That's a long time to make candy.
00:38And there are so many jelly beans.
00:41Yeah, you've been to those stores that have all the different flavors.
00:43Gosh, I mean, just...
00:44Sour apple, unbelievable.
00:46Those are your favorite?
00:47Yeah, some.
00:47I kind of like the watermelon or the strawberry.
00:49Ooh, that's not bad.
00:50It's not bad at all, but you know how long that took.
00:52Two weeks.
00:53Two weeks.
00:53To make all that, yeah.
00:55Do you like the black jelly beans?
00:57No.
00:57Get out of here with that.
00:58Yeah, don't leave it.
00:59It's black licorice, isn't it?
01:00Yeah, it is.
01:01Yeah, ooh.
01:01I don't really know a lot of people that like the black jelly beans, so...
01:04They're not right, man.
01:06All right.
01:06Did you know that Mountain Dew got its name from moonshine?
01:12Really?
01:12Yes.
01:13So back in 1940s, it was named by a couple of Tennessee bottlers as they...
01:18It was a slang term for moonshine.
01:21They called it Mountain Dew.
01:22Well, then they designed the lemon-lime soda.
01:25They used it as a mixer for their whiskey.
01:29And then they used the name and kind of the hillbilly branding to have that southern rustic image.
01:36Mountain Dew.
01:37Used to be a slang for moonshine.
01:39They really have not embraced that when it comes to their marketing, though.
01:42They're more like an extreme sports type thing, like do the dew or whatever their thing is.
01:46Do the dew.
01:46They don't show a couple guys out in the wilderness making moonshine and say, they're making Mountain Dew out here
01:52in the wilderness.
01:53They haven't really embraced the history.
01:55I'm just thinking whiskey and Mountain Dew.
01:58Yeah, what?
02:00I'm not sure that would be that good.
02:03But there you go.
02:05Now you know.
02:05You never know it until you try it.
02:06Oh, I've tried it.
02:10Of course you have.
02:11Long time ago.
02:12But that wraps up your Carline Fun Fact.
