Candy Review: Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans (just the gross ones) Saturday, November 26, 2005 - written by Brian
Categories: Candy, Soft Candy, Gummi/Gummy Candy, Candy Reviews, Novelty Candy, New Candy, Gross Candy, Weird Candy
A few days after writing my original post on the new Bacon and Rotten Egg flavors of Bertie Bott’s (from Harry Potter) Jelly Belly jellybeans, my wife bought a pack for me to try. I have tried Jelly Belly jellybeans before, but I had never tried the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. Turns out I was in for a treat (and I use the term loosely). Jelly Belly describes the pack as
A 1.6 oz. box of beans featuring 20 different flavors. Joining the Bertie Bott’s lineup are two new flavors: Rotten Egg (yuck!) and Bacon. Also included are ?milder? flavors such as Green Apple, Grape Jelly, and Blueberry. Note: Boxes are randomly assorted and may not contain every flavor.
For this review, I’m only going to cover the “gross” flavors, if you have had Jelly Belly jellybeans before, you know what the good ones taste like.
PICTURE FLAVOR DESCRIPTION Bacon This truly did taste like bacon… just sweeter, and a bit gross. This was edible though not tasty. Black Pepper This too tasted just like its flavor - just like black pepper you would sprinkle on your food - only sweeter. In fact, the ingredient list includes black pepper. Booger I was expecting this to be thoroughly gross but instead it was rather tasteless as far as jellybeans go. I actually kept this one down and didn’t think this was too bad (but it wasn’t good). I’m not sure what that says about me. Dirt This one too tasted a lot like dirt. How I know what dirt tastes like, I’m not sure. This one too was edible, but not at all tasty. I did manage to keep it down. Earthworm I really wasn’t sure what this one would taste like, not ever having tried to eat an earthworm. I wasn’t surprised though when I had to spit it out after only a few chews. Wow - that was bad. Earwax Here’s another that I really had no idea what to expect. I figured it would be bad though. I was right. I gave it a couple chews and out it came. No way was I eating that one. Grass I didn’t actually get to try this one. There was only one in the box and my sister-in-law wanted to try it so I let her. She said it did taste a lot like grass and she was able to keep it in and not spit it out. Rotten Egg One of the worst smells you can think of, rotten egg is a smell everyone knows and hates. I was expecting this one to be bad, really bad. It was. I think I chewed it once or twice and I had to spit it out. It’s amazing the flavors they can “create”. Wow - I needed some water to get that taste out of my mouth. Sardine As I’ve said before, I don’t really like seafood, so I expected this one to be a spitter-outter and I was right. It was awful. It’s uncanny how much it tasted like seafood. YUCK. Soap Unfortunately(?), since the boxes are random and you are not guaranteed to get all flavors, I didn’t get any soap-flavored beans in my pack. It’s a shame too, I could have used some soap to wash out the other tastes. Vomit This was the one I was really dreading. I had read on the web somewhere about someone trying this and not being able to get the taste out of their mouth for two days. I fully expected to have to spit this one out, and it was bad, but not so bad I had to spit it out. It did taste like vomit (I can’t believe I’m writing that), it just wasn’t overwhelming enough to make me sick. I guess that’s a good thing. These were sooo much fun to try. I tried a few one night with my four year old daughter and we had such a good time trying them. The others I tried with my family and my in-laws the night before Thansgiving and it was so much fun. I encourage you to get a box of these for your kid(s) and try them yourself too. Have fun with your kids and with some candy!
UPDATE:More gross flavors: sausage and pickle

This topic is appropriate as I just finished watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on the tube.
The only cherry artificial flavored anything that I like is Jerry Cherry Laffy Taffy but that's only once in a while.
Sour or green apple is my fave atificial flavor. Mmmm Jolly Ranchers.

Watermelon.
Best, I'd have to say either those banana flavored popcicles, or those blue freeze-pops. I think the blue was supposed to be rasberry, but it was good whatever it was.
Edit: I'll add HFCS to worst. -

"And finally, the last food on my hate list: cherry stuff. Cherries themselves I like. Cherry pie is fine. Anything else cherry? No, no, a thousand times no. Fake-cherry-flavored anything is absolutely intolerable to me, and I don't know when the cough-suppressant industry selected cherry as the default flavor, but I'd really like to circulate a petition for a return to honey-lemon, because cherry cough drops and cherry cough syrup make me want to barf. And cherry Alka-Seltzer? The hell? I already feel sick, people! Ixnay on the errychay! And a mere mention of the chocolate-covered cherry is enough to kill my appetite for days. If olive loaf isn't proof that God has abdicated control over the destiny of the human race, the chocolate-covered cherry will seal our doom. Many people love the chocolate-covered cherry, and I don't wish to alienate those people, but — FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO! It's a candy that SUPPURATES, okay? Candy should not do that! And do you know how they MAKE those things? They dip a cherry in chocolate, obviously, but BEFORE that, they dip it in an ENZYME PASTE so that it starts DIGESTING ITSELF before you even EAT IT! It's a SELF. DIGESTING. FOOD. OH. MY GOD. EW! Do you REALIZE that men and women of the Brach's Corporation WORKED THEIR WHOLE LIVES on a technology that does not cure CANCER, or correct BIRTH DEFECTS, or CLEAN DIRTY RIVERS or reduce FUEL EMISSIONS or further the cause of SPACE EXPLORATION or anything else that might actually BENEFIT HUMANITY, OH NO, but on a CANDY that EATS ITSELF? This is not the stuff of science-fiction, folks! You can FIND it at the DRUGSTORE! It is a kamikaze candy, AND IT LIVES AMONG US, and if it will eat ITSELF, just think what it might do TO YOU!"
Amen, brother!

I rather like Watermelon jolly ranchers. Watermelon and green apple flavors are good together.

My kids used to fill their mouths with watermelon gum and stand on each side of me blowing that disgusting smell in my face. It makes me sick instantly.
Aww - good times. I miss my kids being little.
Good job nvr !

Watermelon is disgusting.
Does tofu count as an artificial flavoring?
