The Royal Wedding: Unveiled
Kate Middleton's face on a jelly bean?

Kate Middleton's face on a jelly bean?

First, there was the image of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich. Then there was Jesus' face on a pancake. Then there was the Elvis Presley potato chip. Now Kate Middleton's likeness has been spotted on a jelly bean.

According to the London's Daily Telegraph, a couple from Somerset, England discovered the yellow and red speckled mango-flavored treat in jar from a place called The Jelly Bean Factory.

The couple hopes to sell the jelly bean on eBay for £500 (nearly $1,000 USD).

Wesley Hosie described the moment his girlfriend, Jessica White, opened the jelly bean jar, telling The Telegraph, "As Jessica opened the jar, I saw her immediately. She was literally lying there staring back at me."

    I wonder if it would have been seen like that if the princess-to-be weren't appearing in the news so often – I mean, I definitely see a face, but my first thought wasn't "Of course! That's Kate Middleton!"

        Hi I just watched a clip fetnuriag one of your recipes on The Best Thing I Ever Ate . It was Michael Symon fetnuriag your restaurant and your recipe for sausage gravy and biscuits. That is one of my favorite foods of all time and yours looked absolutely wonderful!! I live in Traverse City, MI so quite a long way away from where you are. My oldest son is returning home after serving several years in the U.S. Navy upon a nuclear submarine. I would love to fix this for him when he returns home, but I did not see the recipe on your website. Would it be possible for you to e-mail the recipe to me? I would be very grateful to you if you could do that. I am sure my son and the rest of my family that will be returning home for his homecoming would be very appreciative. Thank you very much Denise Carpenter

    Jellybeans!?!?!? Come on CNN!! The real question everyone wants to know is what do Kate Middleton's farts smell like. I'm guessing like garlic and the floor of the restroom at Jack and the Box.

    The fact that half the world cares about a woman's face in a jelly bean is exactly the problem.
