Jelly Belly gives it the beans at Silverstone

The CAT staff are today attempting to eat their own weight in jelly beans, thanks to the Jelly Belly team who overloaded our daring reporter with sweet treats at Silverstone yesterday.

I must admit that prior to their event I wouldn’t have thought of the Jelly Belly company as being particularly involved in the automotive aftermarket. But, as the various scents wafting their way around the CAT office now suggests, it is.

In fact Jelly Belly has brought six sweet scents to the aftermarket in the hopes of making cars smell that little bit sweeter. A whole range of fragrances, from juicy pear to tuti fruiti are available.

As well as the traditional fragranced hangers, Jelly Belly also sells fragranced sprays for those who want the occasional burst of bubblegum scent. The sprays are ideal for livening up the car or the bathroom, and as it turns out the office as well.

My thanks to the Jelly Belly team for a cracking day out yesterday, although as the bean pile diminishes I must confess that my diet is now ruined.
