Harry Potter Bertie Botts Jelly Beans [3.5-Ounce Bag]

Customer reviews:

I'm sure the beans are fun..., 2008-10-13
But the list price is $9.90. Do I really need to be raped like that just for a novelty bag of jelly bellies???? Not buyin' Contact me when the price is more reasonable (a couple of bucks tops) and I'll remove my review. Hopefully others will join me.

Fun but proceed with caution., 2005-07-07
These are a little fun as long as you know what you are getting into. If you are a kid these are a riot, maybe a better gag gift than anything else. Great for a party. But you have to proceed very carefully should you choose to try eating these. They are not kidding that they faithfully reproduced the idea from the book and movie about jelly beans that had bad flavors along with good. Now they offer a chart you can compare the look of the bean to figure out what flavor a bean is before you bite. Thhey are made by the Jelly Belly company so they are the highest quality jelly beans with some of their typical really good flavors like cherry, etc. They have some no-typical flavors made just for this Harry Potter set called Wild Flavors, and they are pretty gross. But after all, kids love gross stuff so it's OK. The flavors are different in every box, so buy a few boxes to try them all.

You can recover from some of the bad flavors, such as grass, soap, dirt, spaghetti, sardines and earwax - they are authentic and taste like these items. But the vomit flavor may actually make you naseous, as it did to me. I could not get the taste out of my mouth for 2 days. See I bought mine before they started offering charts to check the flavor. So proceed cautiously, take a tiny test bite if it is hard to tell from the chart to avoid a nasty suprise. Some packages have a nice multicolor cloth bag included.
