Pencil shavings smell lovely, that flavour must be delish.

Bodrick III, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:36 (seventeen years ago)

Some of these flavors were in the Harry Potter Jelly Bellys. I tasted the vomit and the pepper ones. Yuck.

tokyo rosemary, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

ew, coconut.

Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

I had something like these (the "bad" ones) a few years ago. I think they were marketed for halloween. And yes, they were awful.

libcrypt, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:39 (seventeen years ago)

Buttered Popcorn is a real one & awful

Why the fuck would you buy this?

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:40 (seventeen years ago)

I remember the grass one tasking like grass. Vomit, while bad, didn't actually taste like vomit.

libcrypt, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:40 (seventeen years ago)

I want the smell of marker pens as a jelly bean flavour. Or just some weird chemically flavour that doesn't even exist in nature called "original".

Whiney = no longer in touch with inner child

nabisco, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:42 (seventeen years ago)

WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON, BUT I CAN'T GET A FUCKING JELLY BEAN THAT TASTES LIKE VOMIT?!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:42 (seventeen years ago)

vomit is a feeling, not a flavor.

Also, I Jon-Benet Ramsayed my inner child soon after moving to New York.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 14 April 2008 20:44 (seventeen years ago)

Too soon

"naturally and artificially flavoured".

I don't think I want to know which are the natural flavors :|

Trayce, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah I got given a little box of the Harry Potter ones. The ones that were a flavour of something you'd actually eat, like sausage, were more WTF than things like 'ear wax' which pretty much tasted of nondescript chemicals

DJ Mencap, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:27 (seventeen years ago)

"Nondescript chemicals" is my fave food group.

Bodrick III, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

Jelly Belly is actually SUBVERTING THE MESSAGE OF MASS PRODUCED CHEMICALS FROM INSIDE THE CANDY!

Laugh, and all of you have fallen for it like the fascists you are!

<rik>

A friend tried to get me to eat one of the Harry Potter jellybeans. I demurred, but he insisted, so I selected what I thought would be the least offensive flavor: black pepper. It actually wasn't bad at all.

jaymc, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:55 (seventeen years ago)

i like how they were smart enough to include 'juicy pear' in that lineup cuz goddamn that beans always seemed like a con to me. ive nearly gagged on it multiple times + it looks exactly like some other far better flavor

deeznuts, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

wtf juicy pear is delicious. it's the inclusion of coconut, buttered popcorn, and licorice as 'real', desirable flavors that I have to question.

bernard snowy, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 04:25 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah the popcorn JBs are disgusting, and I love popcorn.

Trayce, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 04:32 (seventeen years ago)

Crack shrimp

mkcaine, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 04:40 (seventeen years ago)

i love the popcorn ones. especially if you half-and-half a bag with sizzling cinnamon.

nine months pass...

Why the fuck would you buy this?

OK, I bought this.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:41 (sixteen years ago)

New question is, "Why the fuck would you buy this TWICE?"

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:42 (sixteen years ago)

I'll will report back to you guys on my findings.

1. Toothpaste - Tastes like toothpaste. So what? So does toothpaste and I put that in my mouth every day!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:43 (sixteen years ago)

2. Skunk spray - Tastes like skunk spray. Gagged. Considered throwing the whole fucking box out.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:44 (sixteen years ago)

3. Black Pepper - Actually has pepper in it, so it crunches a little. Actually tastes pretty good, would eat again.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:46 (sixteen years ago)

i'm terrified of getting the vomit one. Relieved that it was just peach.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:46 (sixteen years ago)

CAUTION
These jelly beans may look alike but they could not taste more different from each other. Think you can tell them apart?
WE DARE YOU!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:48 (sixteen years ago)

fwiw, toothpaste is totes obv

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:48 (sixteen years ago)

4. Booger - Tastes like nothing really. What does a booger even taste like?

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:54 (sixteen years ago)

5. Rotten Egg - Ugh gross, guys.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:55 (sixteen years ago)

6. Baby Wipes - Tastes like perfume.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 15 February 2009 18:55 (sixteen years ago)

Silverfish - actually tastes like centipedes
Divine's Armpit - does taste like Divine's armpit
Hamburger Grease - tastes like hamburger grease -- needs salt
Polo by Ralph Lauren - tastes more like Hai Karate amirite
