I have played the Harry Potter trivia game with the additional rule that, every time you give a wrong answer, you have to eat a randomly selected Bean as a penalty.

This is why I have eaten not one but several Vomits, Earwaxes, and Sardines.

I’m a little afraid to ask…

How did they flavor them? I’m hoping they didn’t go around the streets of Manhattan, cleaning up drunk puke and shipping it off to the factory to mix it in with the sugar and the food coloring…
