Super User retiredbosn Posted May 8, 2015 Super User Posted May 8, 2015 OK, by now every one knows (if you have kids) that Jelly Belly makes the famed Bertie Botts jelly beans mentioned in the Harry Potter books. What you may not know is that there is a game where you spin dial and eat the color jelly bean represented. Well my youngest son was just dying to play his new game last night. So being the nice Dad that I am we sit down to play. "Whoever wimps out first looses" was the challenge from my 10 year old. No problem I say, because I'm thinking there is no way that they actually make some of these flavors. My first spin, brown: now brown is usually chocolate, not in this box dog food! It tasted like dog food smells is the best I can describe. Next spin green with dark green spots, pear: no booger, just salty! He is laughing so hard he is crying. Next spin yellow with red dots, peach: finally no surprises. He is getting lucky on his spins brown chocolate, green pear, black toasted marshmallow. Next spin, I get brown again, this time chocolate. The next spin was supposed to be peach, no it was barf! BTW he doesn't let me know what the flavors could be, you're supposed to guess. That's it I'm done, I'm a wimp but who cares. I tell him to spin again, so he can truly say he beat me. Black but this he crushes the bean and the smell hits, skunk spray definitely not marshmallow; "don't eat that!" I say. What warped individual is coming up with this stuff? I would never want the taste testing job at jelly belly. It took hours for the barf flavoring to leave. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 9, 2015 Super User Posted May 9, 2015 You should watch the Dirty Jobs episode at the Jelly Belly Factory. I could never taste test or develop these gross flavors but sure is fun to watch my kids eat them. Quote
