LOL! Gross.

The Beanboozled started out as a new set of Bertie Botts, but it was decided that it would be more fun to make a game of it and there you have it. The Skunk is an interesting flavor, I dont know if it really tastes like skunk or not and wonder just HOW they know what skunk tastes like anyway! As for the Vomit flavor,originally that started out as pepperoni pizza, but they could not get it just right so they shelved this. When Harry Potter came along and there was a vomit flavored Bertie Bott bean, they remembered the Pizza flavored one and redid the formula and added a little acidic flavor to it, and now you have Vomit. What you need to do is go back to the jellybelly.com site as we have 4 NEW flavors based on the Cold Stone Ice cream places. 1. Our Strawberry Blonde-tastes just like fresh cut strawberries. 2. Apple pie Ala Cold Stone-When this is warm it tastes exactly like a fresh cut helping of apple pie complete with a sprinkle of cinn. 3. Birthday cake- this tastes like the angel food cake with whipped frosting and sprinkels. 4. Chocolate Decadence- this is a hard one to describe as some say it tastes like a chocolate liqure, some say it tastes like chocolate pudding, some say it tastes like a brownie and some say it tastes like a dark chocolate fudge. The taste IS a little on the strong side so there is no inbetween, you either like it or you dont. So have fun with the new flavors, 2 strawberry and 1 chocolate gives you chocolate covered strawberries. 2 strawberry and 1 Birthday cake is strwberry cake. 2 chocolate and 1 birthday cake is chocolate cake (or 2 cake and 1 chocolate, depending on your tastes) More flavors are on the way so check back on the jellybelly.com site often and enjoy.

Check it out and let me know what you think. They are all pretty gross, but surprisingly edible. http://youtube.com/watch?v=f8KyYB33vrM I made a few reviews of these myself, in video form.

I can hear the family during "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" yelling out "yuck" and "gross", and there aren't even any monkey brains being served yet.

For some reason I didn't receive half of the flavors, it was a joke. God I don't even want to remember eating these, some of those flavors that I was able to try made me gag for awhile.

That does sound like a fun night... but I would be puking the first time I tasted booger, vomit, or any of the other nasty flavors. I'm a wuss. I was always curious to try the Bertie Botts, but never quite brave enough. :) I don’t think I would have the balls to try these.

It was horrid and disgusting. Simply awful. The toothpaste flavor was actually pretty good and tastes just like toothpaste. The Jelly Belly folks said some people really like the moldy cheese flavor but I thought it was awful. I thought the skunk spray flavor tasted just like poop smells. It was horrid and disgusting.

I've been down the Bertie Bott's path a time or two and have discovered like you that some of the flavors are revolting, while others are interesting but not particularly unpleasant! I'll definitely have to search out these to try for myself. Nice article Sera.
