    Fun fact: booger-flavored beans are actually used as a form of "mucus replacement therapy" for adults with a chronic compulsion to eat their own boogers, a bit like nicotine gum for smoking.

    i remember getting paid to dress up in a stupid harry potter costume and hand these out at a bookstore in the mall back when one of the harry potter movies was coming out.. i'd never read the books nor watched the movies so i didn't get why all the jelly beans tasted awful and why everyone was so goddamned eager to get them

      unironically have fond memories of going to the local small business bookstore for the late night release of Order of the Phoenix and there was a poor employee just like you who had been hired to dole out small cups of butterbeer to people and being like 'why are these children so fucking fanatical over cream soda and butterscotch' lmao

      Clearly you've never had the classic meal of a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich with lettuce. They hated Jesus because he told the truth.

    I remember when those were new when the movies started coming out (?)

    Even being in the target demographic of dumb gross kids, I still thought it was the dumbest idea ever lmao

    Why would someone intentionally buy candy that tastes awful! Candy is supposed to be good, and the regular good jelly beans are the same price! Bye-bye "JK Rowling," I wish you were "just kidding," nobody wants your bad food beans! Very nasty woman.

    Combine all the worst flavors and eat a heaping mouthful of them.

    A family member betrayed me and gave me those in a normal package knowing I liked jelly beans. This ruined them for me. Maybe being dramatic, but I threw up from the rotten egg one and swore off jelly beans forever to avoid that experience again
