So. Last night Friday, papary and I all bought ourselves some Harry potter, bertie botts jelly belly beans. Now..
If yovue read any harry potter books.. these candies are modeled after the bertie Botts of the book. Those happen to be flavored candies of randomly wierd things. When We bought these jelly belly versions.. I assumed that the flavors.. including earwax, sardine, booger, vomit and dirt... (along with some yum sounding ones) Were named after the book version of the candy. And were colored similar. Example.. greenish clear with brown swirls was booger. It looks boogery. Now.. I had assumed that candy is candy. Its made of sugar and generally has a good flavor..
I also assumed that a candy modeled after a harry potter book would be aimed at a younger audience and marketed for them. In other words.. I thoguth these candies were named funny but tasted yummy.
So we get in the car and friday says to hand her a bean. Im stoked. I pop two out.. they are white and red and brown spoted. I glance at the box. "vomit flavor" it says. I toss one in her hand and we excitedly chow down.

The first impression..
sweet.. and... citris? wait... uh.. no more sweet... wait..
and BAM!
Suddenly it doesnt taste liek candy at all.. it taste like you coughed a little and burped up a chunk of puke that youre now chewing. Its all hot and stomach acid flavored. Its nasty. Its seriously.. the worst flavor anything. Ive even soem bad stuff.. its worse then vegemite.

So we took these barf cady flavors to the toast.. were we fed a barf candy to Daggertoe.. who hacked his into a tissue and said that it tasted like barf .. (in shock)...

Then tonight I handed one to my unsuspecting sister. I told her it was barf flavored jelly bean and she laughed and chowed down. I cant say enough that people underestimate the twisted minds of a jellybean creator. She coughed hers up and ran gagging for a drink.
4 out of 4 taste testers agree.. vomit jelly beans do indeed taste EXACTLY like vomit.

Now.. While i gagged my butt off.. it was a very educational experience. I recomend you all goign out and buying a box.. trying them.. gagging a little.. then feeding them to people who deserve barf bites. hahaha..

the other flavors are wierd too.. daggy said the sardine one was right on as he spit it into his already chewed vomit jellybean napkin. Friday jkept eating dirt flavored ones.. and while they tasted like chwy pottign soil.. i think the hippy side of her really enjoyed them. haha.

I wish I could try some of those things. I always had appreciation for gross candy... like when I was a kid and I bought a bunch of garlic- flavored candy at the local five and dime, gave it to people at day camp, and they thought it was gross so I ate it.
so oh well.

But hey, I'm moving on up (or down, rather) to the Chutney Flats in Po- town within the next couple of days, so maybe see ya all around.

I think the point of those jelly things is for kids to give them to unsuspecting adults....then run away laughing at the look of horror on the face of anyone unfortunate enough to eat them.

Stina...I was just glancing over your journal and I came across "So we took these barf cady flavors to the toast..."
Is that in reference to the Friendly Toast restaurant? I read that you live in NH but wasn't sure where, so just curious. I am from seacoast NH myself and I frequent the Friendly Toast. Love that place...the Orange French toast and Orleans fries (without the tabasco) kick ass!
Anyway...
