Caveat: Don't Get BeanBoozled by Elizabeth Emerald Artwork by VMarguarite at FanArtReview.com |
In the kitchen of the local church (wherein I help package takeout meals for the needy), whilst rooting around in a bin of overlooked candy, I came upon a package of Jelly Belly BeanBoozled. I scanned the list of tempting flavors: tutti frutti, buttered popcorn, peach, juicy pear, coconut, chocolate pudding, caramel corn, licorice. To my horror and disgust, next to each flavor was a visually indistinguishable counterpart, labeled respectively: stinky socks, rotten egg, barf, booger, baby wipes (used?), canned dog food, moldy cheese, skunk spray. The company's website offers additional flavor pairings: strawberry-banana smoothie/dead fish toasted marshmallow/stink bug pomegranate/old bandage birthday cake/dirty dishwater cappucino/liver & onions I cannot fathom why anyone would find it fun to "Take the Challenge," such as the company proposes. My purpose for this post is to spare you inadvertent consumption of this repulsive novelty line of the widely enjoyed Jelly Belly candy. My apologies for evoking nausea. If this post spares one of you from gagging on "barf" or "rotten egg," or ... yada yada yuck yuck, I trust the rest of you will forgive me. Or not.
