OK, there's shit to unpack from the name itself. And this is before we get to the flavors:
Pencil Shavings Top Banana Toothpaste Berry Blue Vomit Peach Moldy Cheese Caramel Corn Black Pepper Plum Baby Wipes Coconut Booger Juicy Pear Ear Wax Cafe Latte Rotten Egg Buttered Popcorn Skunk Spray Licorice
...
Insert all "dont theze all suck lolz" comments here.

Pencil shavings smell lovely, that flavour must be delish.

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

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

Buttered Popcorn is a real one & awful

Why the fuck would you buy this?

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

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.

"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!

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

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

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.
CAUTIONThese 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
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)
