My nephew treated me (without telling me what it was) to one of the Harry Potter variety of Jelly Belly’s–dirt flavored, to be precise. I told him that the only reason he lived to tell about it was that he didn’t give me a vomit or booger flavored one.
But I, too, wondered–how do they determine that they got the flavor right? I mean, do they sit around a table, chewing thoughtfully and say, “Yep, that’s perfect–tastes just like a booger!” I mean, the idea of them doing this kind of research is just too disgusting to contemplate!
I look forward to reporting back to you guys on the interesting sounding flavours of the jelly beans as** jsgoddess** has been so kind as to sned some out for me
I just wanted to say that there was was something about the wonderfully euphonious “Earwax Jellybean” that made me sure I had read it before, but I couldn’t quite identify it. I finally thought of it: I was wrong, but close. I was thinking of “Xerox Candy Bar.” I think Brautigan might have quite liked the OP as found poetry.
Goodness, from the way these were listed, for a second I thought they’d come out with new, even more horrible flavors.
It’s the nice flavored ones that make selection so difficult. It may look like tutti fruity, so chomp!, ack it’s vomit instead. Seems much worse when that happens.
The Highwayman gave me a vomit one, once. And I still married him 3 years later! I liked the pepper and grass. I also found dirt to be strangely good (esp. when you mix it with grass!).
I have not however had the sardine, nor do I intend to.
One of the guys at work brought in a box of those once. I liked pepper. Grass, dirt, earwax, and even vomit didn’t do much for me. Sardine, however… :eek: nasty, nasty, nasty. We were daring each other to eat the sardine jellybeans. Every one of us, to the last man and woman, ended up spitting the sardine beans into the garbage. No one could bring themselves to swallow one.
