Good lord, can you imagine working in the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans factory?!
“This doesn’t _quite_ taste like vomit yet . . . Not acidy enough. And the earwax one: I think we need a little more ‘ear’ and a little less ‘wax,’ don’t you? Now, let me try the new ‘sardine’ and see if the salt comes through better . . .”

I had a Swedish friend that loved this stuff. He made me try one; I HAD to spit it out. Too harsh.

Made by Jelly Belly, distributed by Cap Candy, and licensed by Warner Bros., I believe.

I thought booger was more or less flavorless. Sardine is vile beyond all imagining, though.

Sounds like these are better-executed than the (real life) Willy Wonka candy. I thought that was just cruel: promising kids Everlasting Gobstoppers and stuff that was not at all Everlasting… you know, it just couldn’t live up to the billing. I thought that was mean-spirited marketing. Bah.

Maybe the sardine should be taken on a cracker with a little cheese.
Strange way to take a jellybean, but whatever.
