Ack, I just ate a vomit-flavored Bertie Botts bean. It really does taste like vomit, OMG. I can't get the taste out of my mouth, either. :-P

Edit: And I follow it with a sardine one. Blech.

Avoid earwax. It's pretty vile too. D:

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Earthworm is interesting. I wonder if it tastes like a real worm? I mean, did someone on the Bertie Botts team have to taste a worm to get it right?

[zully.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Perhaps if we ask a five year old?

Grass actually isn't that bad. It tastes sort of how it smells, if that makes any sense.

[araythea.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear that! *snickers*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I kind of liked the grass one though. ;-)

[luredbyvenus.livejournal.com]

Grass and Dirt were my favorites. Black Pepper was good too. I didn't have the balls to try vomit. Bleh.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like the black pepper ones. *munches*

[phoenixsong71.livejournal.com]

The black pepper ones aren't so bad at first. But thery seem to get worse, the longer you chew on them.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Do you have a pepper one? Those will kill off the taste of pretty much anything.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was good.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

I tried a bunch of them one night, being all experimenty, and I kept a few of the pepper ones on hand in case something was really awful, just because they're SO strong.

[silentauror.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha! I'm sorry!! I've only had those once, but luckily I was near a six-year-old boy and carefully sorted out all the nasty ones and gifted him with them, to his delight. :P

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's kind of fun to try the gross flavors, but vomit was just a bit too realistic. It took me right back. :-P

[silentauror.livejournal.com]

Lol. But not to a place you wanted to re-visit, I would imagine!

[closet-bound.livejournal.com]

You don't know me, but I'm commenting anyway. Sorry about that.

At any rate, I just watched my brother work his way through the flavors one by one. The faces were funny, anyway.

Hm. Should have brought my camera...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It seems like it would be a fun drinking game, actually!

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

Go for the pickle one! It was the only one I dared eat last night. :)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

There's no pickle on the back of my box, unfortunately. That sounds pretty good.

[bloodstaindnght.livejournal.com]

The vomit one surprised me with how realistic it was. It had that sharp acidic, painful taste down perfect. I agree with the people above in that grass was actually pretty spectacular.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, it took me right back to the last time I threw up, absolutely. :-P

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

You have to wonder who they found to focus group some of these. ;)

[bloodstaindnght.livejournal.com]

I'd totally volunteer for the fun, non-gross ones. I'd ask for a bonus if they wanted me to test vomit or dirt or the other nasty ones.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It's hard to tell vomit and tutti-frutti apart. But I wouldn't be eating these if I didn't feel a little adventurous. ;-)

[photograficnerd.livejournal.com]

I find that Buttered Toast is rather vile.

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

the Buttered Toast and the Garlic ones make for an interesting combination though.

[photograficnerd.livejournal.com]

I didn't know they added Garlic to the mix. I've avoided the Bertie Bots for the last few years due to some rather unpleasant experiences with them. D:

[photograficnerd.livejournal.com]

*Botts


Err, typos.

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

Heh - I usually won't eat the Bertie Bots either, but I've been to the Jelly Belly Factory several times the past few years and the Garlic ones were available in the bins for sampling.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

You know, that sounds really interesting. Like garlic bread!

[djin7.livejournal.com]

I ate the 'dirt' flavoured one once, and have never eaten them again. Blech.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've encountered one of those yet.

[passthesky.livejournal.com]

Ohh, vomit! I couldn't kill the taste even with altoids. It was evil.

Soap is funny. I immediately recalled myself as a five year old. XD

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I haven't found a soap one yet. I think I could probably handle it, though. ;-)

[askani.livejournal.com]

the soap ones are actually good. i had a box that had vomit and spegetti and it was terrible because they both looked the same. i refused to eat either.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

LOL! Vomit and tutti-frutti look the same in my box, which I'm sure they did on purpose.

[phoenixsong71.livejournal.com]

The vomit ones smell horrible. You're braver than I, to actually eat one. Beware the booger and dirt flavored ones. They are really gross too.

[magic-helmet.livejournal.com]

I had one of those!!!!!!

I hate to tell you, but you canNOT get the taste out!!!
It is going to be in the back of your throat for hours.

I'm so sorry! I'll never touch those fucking beans again after that experience!

[purelytaintedkt.livejournal.com]

my first ever bertie botts bean was a vomit flavored one, followed by what i hoped was lemon and was indeed earwax, and what i hoped was green apple but was alas, grass. the grass one was actually rather tasty, which worried me, but i found cherry pie after that. they really did a magnificent job on the beans though. I can't wait for fizzing whizbizzs. I imagine the'll be something icecream, like.. sherbert with poprocks in it, so it makes your mouth fill up with foam, -since i'm rather certain they can't actually make us float-

Have you tried acid pops?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

LOL, no I haven't! What do they taste like?

[purelytaintedkt.livejournal.com]

they are pure sour. like. worse than a warhead could ever ever be. I didn't know, i thought they would like. bubble on your tongue or something not painful (should have known from the bertie botts, but nooo) and I popped it straight in my mouth and it was sooo sour my eyes watered and I was crying. >< they are definately trying as hard as possible to make it like the hp universe. they even made cockroach clusters. >< or at least i'd heard of them, and we sold chocolate frogs at Borders.

[purelytaintedkt.livejournal.com]

gah they DO make fizzing whizbees. and cockroach clusters. and everything! it's all here. http://www.candywarehouse.com/whizbees.html
