So, for the first time I bought Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. They were featured in Harry Potter, in case anyone doesn't remember.

I actually like some of the "bad" flavours. Grass for instance tastes refreshing, and soap tastes floral. Black pepper is good too. Sausage is possibly my favourite.

I tried the other bad ones...I didn't quite understand bogie and earwax, because occasionally you erm, inadvertently taste them, so you have an idea what they taste like. I didn't think the tastes of these were accurate, the earwax one had a menthol taste to it for some reason, which I found odd.

The worst were vomit and rotten egg. They were both accurate and really horrible.

I liked the grass and black pepper flavors, too.

But I've also seen these left around a house on Easter to be eaten by the unsuspecting, and that's just mean (especially with those vomit ones.)

I freaking love these! I bought a bunch of boxes to store away for our Magic: The Gathering nights.

I open several boxes and mix them up in a bowl. The first player that gets to zero life has to, with their eyes closed, pick a bean from the bowl 8O

I haven't eaten those in ages. I refused to try the weird ones. But I'm willing now. Will have to get some.

The also have Beanboozled, which are similar to Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. I have never eaten them and I don't plan to, because eating candy is supposed to be fun, not torture. Mild torture maybe, but torture nonetheless.

There are maybe a million YouTube videos of people taking the "Beanboozled Challange", which always end with someone puking. I have never watched them, and I think they're stupid. :thumbdown:

Are you for real?

I seen some of the candies in shop but there is only 36 tastes and they seemed pretty normal so I decided it's not worth it. There is no bad tastes there and all the tastes are named on the back of box so there is no surprise either. http://www.rossmann.pl/Produkt/The-Jell ... 17791,5500 http://www.ros.net.pl/GalleryImages/pro ... 80_720.png
I want to try the "bad" ones. :(

Harry Potter's favorite candy has returned! Get a box of tasty jelly beans blended with weird, wild ones!

The Beanboozled beans are scary because you can't always tell by their colors what flavor they are. What looks like a tutti frutti jellybean could end up being dirty socks. And why would anyone want to eat a vomit flavor bean?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK NO NO NO NO N JUST NO!! :eew:
