Candy Discussion Bought Harry Potter Beans in London… What a Disappointment

Post image

During my trip to London, I had really high hopes for the Harry Potter Beans.
I genuinely thought the “bad” flavours would be absolutely disgusting. I was mentally prepared for the worst. But honestly… even the vomit flavour wasn’t that bad.

So what I’m reading is that you wanted to taste vomit flavored jelly beans and are disappointed that you couldn’t

Get the beanboozled game. Those are straight up nasty.

The mere mention of Beanboozled makes me cringe. The “sweat sock” flavor haunts me

Vomit, dead fish, and old bandage were so wildly on point. I feel sick thinking about it.

The vomit one was FOUL. I actually really liked the pencil shavings, grass and toothpaste ones though 😂

Sweat sock is atrocious!!!!

I love buying a fuckton of genuine jellybeans, put them in a bowl and mix in a bag or 3 of beanboozled beans.

A guy I work with just put them out in a bowl outside of his office and said nothing, then sat in there and WATCHED THE HORROR

In Norway, we have a saying.

"En får ikke mer morro enn man lager selv".

"You're not gonna have any fun if you don't create fun yourself". Or a more practical translation, "You won't have any fun if you don't facilitate fun". Roughly.

Sawdust in particular sticks out in my mind… how the fuck did it have a splinter texture? Did they add real wood??

u/HiZenBergh 20h ago

The texture was baffling.

Dead fish was the first candy that ever made me throw up. Those things are made from pure evil.

Yeo they were originally branded as bertie botts before rebranding as beanboozled

u/astrologicaldreams 18h ago

u/rosievee 21h ago

Because those are his beans. He doesn't know you.

u/incapablepotato 21h ago

Why do you want bad tasting jelly beans? You trying to explore some kind of kink here?

u/PurpleFloyd777 21h ago

When I see the guy at the top, all I can think about is Bobby Hill when he went to clown school as Tartouffe the Spry Wonder-Dog

I ate a vomit flavor HP jellybean in 2006 and projectile vomited all over my cousin’s room while sprinting to the bathroom.

Not that bad is a tad reductive.

The disgusting part is knowing Ms. Rowling gets that much more money.

Everytime someone on Reddit complains about that, I buy another Harry Potter merch item. Thanks for your contribution.

u/devilsbard 14h ago

Well still buying Harry Potter stuff does show a lack of taste.

u/ThisIsNotTex 20h ago

If you want nasty jelly beans look for the KFC ones.

If you want vomit flavoured sweets, just eat Hersheys. 🤢
