Desert Rat Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So, my 12yo and I are sitting here testing our luck with Bertie Bott's. We take one without looking and pop it in our mouths. Soap doesn't taste good. He almost threw up with the sausage flavored one! He decided he'd had enough for one day after that one. LOL Anyone else have experience with Bertie's terrible Beans?

cloversandlions Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 No...but now, I'm not sure I want to try them! Where did you get them - maybe they'll be fun for dd8's stocking? (Or, you know, not.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 A friend brought them back from HP in Florida. I've seen them at specialty candy stores though. And I know you can get them on line. It took us 4 rounds to get to a nasty one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love the black pepper ones. I would buy a bag of those. I could eat them all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet dd8 would love those - she's asked for a black pepper plant for Christmas, even! Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The vomit ones were the worst. Garbage is a close second. I don't think ours had sausage...that sounds kind of tasty actually! We bought a bunch of them for friends and relatives when we were at Universal. Tried to pass some off at Easter, but it didn't really go over well.

Heatherwith4 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I buy them almost every year for DH and DS stockings. The gross ones really are very, very gross. They are so much fun! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 We did a "math project" with these jelly beans. The kids tasted each one, and charted how many of each flavor they ended up with. We made a bar graph and then a pie chart. It was a lot of fun, although they got really sick of the "dog food" flavor by the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Love the responses! I think they are great fun! The soap really did taste like soap and the taste lingered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I found some at Barnes and Noble a couple of months ago and bought them for stocking stuffers. I have no intention of eating them myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 They are forever banned at my house after one of my lovely dds vomited all in my car simply from the smells of the bacon, black pepper and vomit ones. :ack2: :ack2: :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hahaha, a friend of mine bought these for her kids at BN, not realizing what they were! The ride home was ver-ry interesting. At first she didn't believe what they were saying (the dc are 3 and 5), then she tried one - snot! Yuck! Hilarious! (after the fact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was also unfortunate enough to come across a vomit-flavored one. I nearly did vomit. Grass was just like freshly mown grass which smells good but makes a bad jellybean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 We had those years ago when I worked in a bookstore. Someone accidentally opened a package and it ended up behind the counter. Unlabeled. So we all thought, hey, free jellybeans! :w00t: Then we tried to eat some and were like :scared: :willy_nilly: :blink: :ack2: :wacko: . Never had the desire to try them since.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Grass and Pencil were the worst ones I've had so far. I figured out one was soap before I put it in my mouth. I've also avoided any that could possibly be vomit or earwax. We had them for ds2 Harry Potter party for his 7th birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homemama2 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well, after BEGGING for the Beanboozled ones...my boys ended up smelling most and throwing them away. They did trick dad into eating a "skunk spray" one...he spewed it across the yard. And they got their uncle to try a "moldy cheese" one. But nobody tried the vomit one (it smelled like the real thing) and after smelling that one we were kind of done. SO GROSS. Although the Bert's Every Flavor Bean ones don't sound quite so bad.

FaithManor Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well, there is a candy store about 40 minutes from here that makes jelly beans that look like Bertie Botts. So, one year we bought a box of Bertie's and some jellies from the candy store. We mixed the Berties in with the jellies and left them in the candy store's container. This was "gift" from the children to Dh who loves jelly beans. It was, without a doubt, the most fun we've ever hand...dh munchin' away, waxing rhapsodic about his gourmet jelly beans, and then bam. It was the vomit one. The look on his face was priceless!!!!! Yah, dangerous household here...weird sense of humor, a man and his sons fascinated with all things that go "Boom", a rabbit that thinks she's a dog, ...."normal" is a term that is lost on us!

Crimson Wife Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 We saw some at the Jelly Belly factory tour- I should go get some for my older kids' stockings since they are HP fans next time I'm up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for all the laughs! My boys tricked my dh after he came home from work. They left one for him and said it was "apple pie." It was vomit! Ha! Dh is such a good sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mama Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 My dd11 (huge HP fan) received these in her stocking last year. I am SO glad I videoed the kids trying them. We recently watched the videos and cracked up! They didn't try all of them (vomit just got thrown in the trash), but sausage almost made dd throw up. She quickly popped a reece's mini into her mouth. And yes, she had it unwrapped and ready to toss in just in case the taste was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I saw some sort of program about flavors or something (what on earth was I watching??) and there were guys from Jelly Belly on it talking about Betrie Botts. They said they had already accidentally made the vomit years earlier, before they were allowed to make Bertie Botts, so when they found out they were to make Bertie Botts they just pulled out that recipe. :lol: Mike Rowe went to Jelly Belly for Dirty Jobs and they made a flavor for his boots. :lol: Not eating that.

Slartibartfast Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Those exist? I bet dd8 would love those - she's asked for a black pepper plant for Christmas, even! Huh. They are in certain boxes of Bertie Botts. I have never seen them in bulk alone. Maybe try to write to Jelly Belly and ask them if they will sell them in bulk? They are so good.

Lady Florida. Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 They've been around for quite a few years. I hate them. Like Dumbledore, I never manage to get a tasty one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I find them at Target and my supermarket in the candy section. They have a 'jelly belly' bulk section and that is where the Bertie Bots live. My younger son delights in trying to trick people into eating them. My DH is such a doll that he always goes along with the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I saw some sort of program about flavors or something (what on earth was I watching??) and there were guys from Jelly Belly on it talking about Betrie Botts. I don't know if this was the same show I saw but I remember the president of the company talking about how they made the earwax flavor using *his* earwax. He didn't clean out his ears for awhile so he could get a good flavor sample. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 We frequent the jelly belly factory and buy the belly flops. They *say* they never put the every flavor in there, but I think they are liars. Some are just awful! So I've learned to squeeze and smell before I eat them.
