When you were a child, did you ever play the game “Truth or Dare?” Truth or Dare is a game where you opt to tell the truth about something (anything that is asked of you) or you could opt to tackle a dare instead of answering the question. I often opted for the dare because I didn’t people to know who I had a crush on. LOL!
The dares were usually no big deal – like hop on one foot while patting your head and rubbing your belly. Occasionally the dares would be a bit more risky – like stick your tongue on the metal storm door when it’s very cold outside. Yes… I took that dare and my tongue stuck to the door – reminiscent of A Christmas Story.
Jelly Belly – makers of unique flavored jelly beans – has a game that takes dares to a whole new level. It’s called the BeanBoozled game. Perhaps some of my readers have already played it.
If you are not familiar with BeanBoozled, the “game” contains 20 flavors of jelly beans: 10 have weird and wild flavors that look identical to 10 classic and delicious flavors. Think you can tell which jelly bean is Caramel Corn and which is Moldy Cheese? What about Peach and Barf?
This is a game everyone can play – both young and old.
To play simply take turns by plucking a Jelly Belly bean from the container and popping it in your mouth. If you get a delicious flavor – great! If you pick up one of the gross flavors be prepared to spit it out.
There are no winners or losers in this game. It’s more so to see who can be lucky enough to pick the most great tasting jelly beans before selecting a gross one.
It’s been an on going thing with my family. We have a container of BeanBoozled 4th Edition flavors. The 4th Edition which contain the two newest flavors – DEAD FISH which resembled Strawberry Banana Smoothie and SPOILED MILK which is identical to Coconut.
Me, my husband, our daughter and our son were playing the BeanBoozled game. My son – who I thought would outlast us all – dropped out after his first bean. He picked “Sticky Socks”, which resembled Tutti-Fruitti. The taste was so bad that he’s afraid to try again.
Me, my husband and our daughter are still playing. We do it randomly. We grab a bean and hope for the best. I’ve picked a few of the bad flavors and let me tell you THEY ARE DISGUSTING!!! I don’t think anyone could actually eat them. We spit them out and grab for the first thing we can eat or drink to help get rid of the taste.
Sadly I have experienced both the Spoiled Milk and Dead Fish flavors (EWWWWWW!!!!!) as well as Lawn Clippings (it actually wasn’t THAT bad), Dog Food and Moldy Cheese.
I’d love to know how they come up with the flavors and who are their “test subjects.” LOL! Also, how would they know what Dead Fish tastes like? Gross!
I know it sounds gross, but it’s fun. Especially when you see the look on someone’s face when they grab a gross one. Grabbing a pleasant flavor is always nice too. I love most of Jelly Belly’s flavors.
Jelly Belly’s BeanBoozled 4th Edition will be on shelves this spring. The new flavor combinations will be a part of the full BeanBoozled line, including the BeanBoozled Mystery Bean Dispenser, a Grab & Go® Bag, Flip-Top Box, Spinner Gift Box, and the JUMBO Gift Box.

Have you ever tried any of the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled flavors? What is the grossest flavor you ever tried?
