BeanBoozled 1.9oz bag

My nephew's loved to play

These are classic and my 12 year old enjoys pranking her friends with these. It’s amazing how Jelly Belly can make these flavors from rotten fish to vomit!

Review of: Jelly Belly - BeanBoozled 1.9oz bagThis is one of those situations where the anticipation of what an item would taste like (meaning really, really horrible) was greater than the impact of what the taste was actually like.I originally looked at this bag because it said Jelly Belly, perhaps my all time favorite of all the jelly beans I’ve tried in the past.Then, I saw that it’s the BeanBoozled variety.Which means there are normal flavors in there, but some of the beans are going to be a bit...different.I’ve heard about this collection before but have never tried any … but I thought it would fun (well, maybe not the right word) to experience the ‘different’ beans myself.And, I must say, based on the flavor names, I was really worried that I was going to be spitting out a few.After all, flavors like Burnt Rubber, Wet Dog, Stinky Socks, Toothpaste, Barf, Stink Bug, Booger, Old Bandage, Liver and Onions and Dead Fish don’t actually bring up images in my mind of flavors I just can’t get enough of.But it turns out that the weird flavors are mostly just a bit weird; not really so disgusting that I had to immediately spit them out.And, I found out that most of the time the flavors weren’t immediately apparent (I’ve never tasted Burnt Rubber, for example, so don’t have a begging point of reference) but kind of linger onto my tongue from a more aroma type of perspective. It’s more like the taste of the Burnt Rubber reminds me of what Burnt Rubber smells like … the same goes from most of the other flavors.For example, old bandage does have a bit of what I imagine a bandage would taste like (based on aroma) … but even then the sweetness of the jelly bean mostly covers that up.The only one I really thought was out there was the dead fish. That one was … yeah … not a pleasant taste at all.For a fun, pretty inoffensive, gag gift (no pun intended) this is one to look at … if nothing more to see the expression of someone trying to figure out the flavor and then, finally, figuring it out.Anyhow, pricey but a fun gift for Jelly Belly lovers. Enjoy the anticipation!

For what it is, this bag provides great quality fun! My family had a fun time risking the taste and smell of these candies with the chance of getting a nasty one! It was just the right size of bag for the amount we wanted to play it without wasting a bunch of candy or money! Great value for this small size of bag!

My grandson loved these but I thought some of these flavors were awful

My son saw this and immediately wanted to try these. Honestly, I'm not usually one for these kinds of games, but it was a rainy Saturday and I needed something to distract them from their screens. The idea is simple enough - you pick a bean, and it's either a tasty treat or something absolutely awful. We had a good laugh when my youngest got "barf" flavored - he was genuinely disgusted, but in a funny way. My oldest, being the cool one, tried to pretend he wasn't fazed by "dirty dishwater" but I saw him wince (lol). It's not exactly a sophisticated activity, but it's a fun, cheap way to spend some time with the kids. I can see this being a hit at future get-togethers. I don't think I'll be craving these anytime soon, but it's a good novelty.

Marketing is misleading. $7 for a tiny bag and you’re unable to return it. Horrible company.

BeanBoozled 1.9oz bag: I don't have the game that this bag of gross/weird jelly belly flavors is meant to go with, but I ordered them for a different reason. My family is always eating my candy/sweets, so I can't leave anything out if I actually want to eat it myself. So I put these in a dish on the kitchen counter and left them up for grabs. Based on the fact that only a few were missing when I checked later, I would guess that they each tried a jelly bean or two and ate a gross flavor, leaving the rest for me! But they don't want to admit it. So I'm laughing inside and feel confident about being able to keep them out of (some) of my candy going forward. It's a fun gag, though I can't quite bring myself to taste them myself. They are a little expensive for the small amount in the bag, but in my case it was for a good cause. These would also make for a fun gift (white elephant) or something to take to a party with friends (even without the game).
