I cannot tell Red Apple, Cinnamon and Sour Cherry apart until I have already bitten into them.

There's also a Hawaiian Punch one that's also red, IIRC.

If you want a real Russian Roulette, back when Harry Potter was a "thing", they sold bags of Bertie Bott's, complete with dirt.

Dirt wasn't as bad as cut grass... To say nothing of pepper, which was a flat-out assault on the sinuses.

I've seen even more ridiculous Jelly Belly flavors like Skunk spray and Toothpaste.

This is where they come from.

Let me see if I've understood this.

Somebody made a thread not for jelly beans but for a specific brand of jelly beans.

Jelly Belly is the most recognized jelly bean in American Culture, due to the crazy amount of flavors.

I can't tell Cinnamon, Dr Pepper, and Root Beer (iirc) apart. :l makes me angry.

Though when you taste them, cinnamon becomes obvious - it's the one that tastes like fiery death.

Hence I said until I bite into them. Root Beer is my favorite.

@maxwell I know. I got those in my Halloween bag one year. The "black pepper" flavored ones were by far the worst.

I don’t even know anymore.

I actually liked the Grass flavor ones.

I could not bring myself to try the vomit ones.

I haven't had a Jelly Belly jellybean in quite some time, I think the last time I had any at all they were Jolly Rancher ones.

The only reason why I like waking up is because I like falling asleep.

I was too much of a wuss for the Bertie Botts, but I was obsessed with Jelly Bellies in high school. The margarita and champagne punch ones were my favorites, though I don't know if they still make the latter.

I actually saw some Bertie Botts' for sale recently, in the Ontario Science Center's gift shop. (I was there for a gaming exhibit they're doing. T'was fun.)

A highly-processed confection. I believe lemon drops are a relative.

Jelly beans are a flavored soft candy gelatin with a hard sugar shell. They're shaped like beans. They have hundreds of flavors (like cherry, cinnamon, champagne, popcorn, watermelon, lemon, lime, and sometimes they make gross ones like black pepper, vomit, snot, boogers, etc.) and Jelly Belly makes the best ones. They originate from the USA and Canada and are extremely popular in both those countries.

I always want to buy these more often, but they're so expensive sad

I remember back when the potter craze was in full force they sold Bertie Botts at the bookstore near my house. I always looked for the bacon out of a morbid curiosity about it's taste, but I never found even one. Not helping matters was that when I read the box I thought it said Raccoon

Heh, a year or two ago some joker in a local grocery store mixed the bertie botts beans into the big jellybean dispenser. Grabbing rootbeer and vomit together wasn't a very pleasant experience. . .
