Well, look on the bright side, Krikit. You've just eaten something that breaks one of the fundamental laws of nature---the one that says everything tastes better on the way down than it does on the way back up.

Bets the question, though, who thought a puke-flavored candy would be a good idea????

:lol: I know! That's exactly what I was thinking!

I wonder how they advertise it? I mean, what euphamism for "vomit" did they use to name the flavor? Recycled gummi bear?

have you read or watched Harry Potter?? in the books they have something called "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans"..

that is where Jelly Belly got the idea for the weird tasting beans...

According to Ron, there are ordinary flavors like chocolate and peppermint and marmalade, but also more adventuresome ones like spinach and liver and tripe (PS6). George said he'd had a booger-flavored one. Dumbledore said that, in his youth, he ate a vomit-flavored one and was put off Bertie Bott's Beans for quite a while. Eventually he tried what he thought might be a "nice toffee," only to discover that the flavor was actually ear wax (PS17).

flavors of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans

NOTE: These are the only flavors mentioned in the books.

*

baked bean (PS6)

*

booger (at least George Weasley said so) (PS6)

*

chocolate (PS6)

*

coconut (PS6)

*

coffee (PS6)

*

curry (PS6)

*

ear wax (PS17)

*

grass (PS6)

*

liver (PS6)

*

marmalade (PS6)

*

pepper (PS6)

*

peppermint (PS6)

*

sardine (PS6)

*

spinach (PS6)

*

sprouts (PS6)

*

strawberry (PS6)

*

toast (PS6)

*

toffee (PS17)

*

tripe (PS6)

*

vomit (PS17)

In the U.S. and Canada, the Muggle version of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans are made by the WEB LINKJelly Belly company. They are sold in bags and also in boxes. The flavors include sardine, pepper, grass, horseradish, vomit, booger, earwax, and dirt. New flavors have been added recently: earthworm, spaghetti, spinach, and soap. Personally, I like the pepper and grass flavors the best, although spaghetti is interesting too. -SVA

although we watched a show just recently that showed how different things were made and one of the places they visited was the Jelly Belly plant...

they talked to one of the inventor guys and he said he actually saved up some of his ear wax and tasted it so he knew what it tasted like .... eeeewwwww....

You guys are making coffee come out of my nose!

Yeah, "artificial flavoring" is an ingredient you really truly hope to see on the box of vomit-flavored jelly bellys....

My husbands grandmother just left, but she stood outside our bedroom bashing me to the cleaning lady not knowing that I was in here.

Just saying that I refuse to work, and that I am using my visa as an excuse to not work.

I am really flipping pissed.

Donne moi une poptart!
