Caveat: Don't Get BeanBoozled
The most disgusting candy hands-down18 total reviews
Comment from Mary Shifman
I can't imagine why any candy company would make such a product or why any human being, other than there residents of Hogworts, would want to try it. Even the thought is nauseating. My husband loves Jellybeans, and I don't always read labels, so thanks for the warning, although I don't know if we have Jelly Belly BeanBoozled over here.

The product is available on Amazon--4.5 stars--review comments say that 90 per cent of the beans in the package are the disgusting versions. Some ate them inadvertently--one ended up in the hospital--adults gagged--children puked. Outrageous. I can't conceive how so many people think this twisted "challenge" is fun.
Check out what the reviewers wrote--one tried to trick his own daughter--another had the trick played on her.

I'm not familiar with the Jelly Belly Beans products. I tend to avoid any candy that isn't chocolate. Some of the tastes they came up with sound so disgusting--dirty socks, old bandage, ugh. I remember when people used to eat liver and onions. Some of those do sound barf-worthy. judi

How disgusting. I wouldn't think anyone should consider it fun to try. judi

Hi Liz,
When I read the title I knew immediately what you were talking about before I read further. My daughter Autumn came down for a visit and brought a box of said jelly beans. She brought it with the intent of tricking my oldest daughter, Jennifer into eating one. (some things you CAN eat just one of) Jen had the habit of coming over to my house and helping herself to whatever happened to be out on the counter. We put a candy dish with the jelly beans and true to form Jen came over to visit and saw the candy on the counter. She let out a yelp of delight and reached for them, but I couldn't contain myself and burst out laughing, so she knew something was wrong with them. I tried the same thing at a later date with Liv-a -snaps, a dog treat. Again, as she reached for them, thinking they were chocolate, I lost it. Foiled by my lack of self control.
Thanks for doing your civic duty. They are truly gross.
Blessings
Tom

I'm glad for your daughter's sake that you gave the "joke" away.

You're quite right Liz. I guess I fall into the group that has a truly weird sense of humor. There's no two ways about it, they are gross, and like so much else, the bottom line is profit.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
It appears someone in their marketing department tried to think like a kid who would love to give someone a stinky bean. Sorry, but it is a stupid gimmick to try to sell candy because it would only work once. They put it in the form of a challenge. I think it is a stretch that so many would want to take up the challenge.
Thank you
Regards,
Mary

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I'm not sure I got the way these are packaged, Liz. Did each of the 'new' flavors include a taste like the one they were paired with? Is each flavor separate and in the same bag???
You made your point about the disgusting idea/flavors.
Respectfully, Jan

The good flavors and their evil versions appear identical. The product is available on Amazon--4.5 stars--review comments say that 90 per cent of the beans in the package are the disgusting versions.

Liz,
Yeah, those came out while my kids were in the house. They had fun with them. Though I'm sure there were only certain ones they were willing to try - well, I hope so, anyway. Who knows? They weren't a regular purchase, for sure!

Thank you for the heads up. I agree why would anybody want to do such a ridiculous thing. It makes zero sense but I keep hearing it takes all types to make our world.

Comment from Begin Again
It's very disgusting, and it amazes me that a company paid someone to come up with this form of advertising. I'll just stick to my dark chocolate and simply ignore the opportunity to "barf."
Hugs, Carol

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Fortunately, the only Jelly Belly I have eaten is cinnamon. I haven't had one of those in at least 25 years. When I need a candy snack, it is either a marshmallow, piece of dark chocolate, or a Reese cup.

I like your go-to treats in 3-way combination!
Comment from Ric Myworld
This morning you get to be the one laughing, as I turn a nauseated shade of green. Wondering if there really are jelly beans by the names? I was so anxious to read your post this morning, just knowing I was in for a usual laugh. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

The good/evil paired flavors are visually indistinguishable.

Not all of us are careful what we put in our mouths. But in time, they will get older and wiser as we did. And by the same means, trial and endless errors :-)
