Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans

Another Bertie Bott’s victim checking in. The Tzeroling got a package from a cousin in RI and we spent about fifteen minutes classifying them and then daring each other to eat the nasty ones. I don’t remember getting an earwax one, but I gotta agree - the vomit one was NASTY. Swallowed it anyway - hey, it’s a Jelly Belly! You don’t waste those. I dug the grass and dirt ones though - if you could get the individual flavors in bulk I’d mix a bowl of grass and dirt ones for my desk here at work. Nothing spectacularly cruel, but a hoot nonetheless.

Although you can’t order the individual flavors, you can buy these beans here. You can also order 1 kg bags of any particular flavor, and I’m seriously considering getting some Jalapeno ones–I love those things, and they’re hard to find.

Oh, yeah. Tried them. Agree with ultrafilter.

I LOVE the pepper flavored ones. If I could buy a ten-pound bag of just the pepper ones, I would.

Ugh! I just bought some of these today… actually because I read this thread, I guess I have masochistic tendencies. :wink:

I got up the courage to try the sardine one. My thoughts were something like: “okay, this isn’t too bad, a little swe…OH MY GOD IT’S FISH EW EW EW EW EW!” Then I grabbed a bean I THOUGHT was Tutti-Fruitti, since it was mottled pink and red, but it was a god-damn vomit one!!! Good God! I actually started gagging when I was spitting it out, and of course a stupid piece stuck to my tooth! :frowning:

So I had a banana-flavoured one to make up for it. :slight_smile:

My nephew and my cousin’s daughter kept trying to get us to take a bean at our Christmas dinner get-together. I guess it’s a measure of how old I have become, but I wouldn’t try the vomit or the earwax. I think theirs came from Jelly Belly.

My wife and I have that on our agenda for a late January trip to Northern California.

I’m vaguely curious as to how they researched these flavors.

I think it’s hilarious that you people have tried these horrible things, just so you can say, “Yep, it takes like vomit, all right…”

blurgh

I’m vaguely curious how much their taste testers got paid for testing those nasty ones.

I got a small box for each of my five heathens and it was a riot listening to them trying to get each other to taste the nasty ones.
I got them in the produce department at Super Target.
Just small boxes though and they were a bit on the expensive side for how small they were, but the heathens had a ton of fun with them so it was worth it.
Just might have to suprise them and do it for them again.

we got ours at Target, too.

Let me tell you something about that chart…

it isn’t always accurate. Be warned! some flavours are disguised.
Also, some flavors are not listed.

In addition to vomit, booger, et al, you will find:

pizza (it tastes greesey and cheesey and so not good in a jelly bean)
garlic (STRONG!)
mustard
I have heard rumours of salt flavoured.

blah!!!

we play jelly bean roulette with them too, except we demand to see the chewed bean. It’s all too easy to swallow without tasting…

The boss brought some into work about a while back, and we were all trying them out. Vomit and Earwax weren’t as bad as I was expecting. I swallowed them without problem.

Pepper was actually pretty good.

Sardine is evil. The taste of fish oil is overwhelming. Every one of us who tried one ended up spitting it into the garbage.

I’m proud to say that I did chew up and swallow a sardine one a little later one. Why, I’m not sure. But I did it!

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but wonder as I was reading this: you guys PAID to put vomit, sardine and earwax flavoured sweets in your mouth?! What the hell is wrong with you poeple?!?!?! Honestly!

Oh, and Hastur…GROSS! EUW! EUW! NO! HOW COULD YOU??

EUW!

Ok, so on a dare my brother did the roulette thing with two of them.

He got sardine and vomit together.

The looks on his face were, to put it simply, a “laff riot!”.

I fear he’s going to do something to me in my sleep now, however.

What layovers will do to you…as well as a pair of 12-year-old girls…That’s how I was acquainted with these vile 'beans.

I ate a whole packet because my kids wouldn’t touch them and I can’t bear to throw candy away. I didn’t have the flavor guide so I was trying to guess the flavors. I correctly identified the vomit and ear wax.

But sardine … ahhh - I thought it might’ve been smoked salmon.

They were all pretty disgusting tho.

…Good thing I didn’t step in it.

My nephew had a box of these, and I asked for one (having never seen or read Harry Potter). I should have realized from the giggling grin on his face that I was stepping into a clever trap. Of course, I was also attracted to the pretty colors of the vomit-flavored bean. I got a few good chews in before I began to realize that something was very wrong. I spit it out, tried to wash the slime from my mouth with little success, and then read the box while the evil child laughed his ass off.
