Why did I let my kids talk me into this?

This is GROSS! Really, gross. My husband almost threw up over barf flavor? Or was it dead fish? Either way, what a wimp! Ha. Just kidding. Don't tell him I said that. I only got one good jelly bean out of 10 rounds. There are alot more yucky ones. The spoiled milk is terrible! But, I've got a stomach of steel! No problem. It really was a lot of fun.... challenging each other, trying flavors, seeing who could get the good ones or at least pretend they did and win. Of course, my daughter won, because, well, three year olds can eat anything, can't they?! My oldest son however, wouldn't touch it! (Probably the only sane person here?!) It's a fun game for the family but not for the weak stomached. And again, it's gross!

What poor soul has to taste test "spoiled milk" at work?

I canNOT get enough of this game. I was introduced to this game when it was gifted to a coworker during Secret Santa. We sat down to play and I honestly could not stop laughing as we spun the wheel and tried the different types of jelly beans. At the very least this is a game for people who like the have fun, especially the risk takers. I was very surprised at the people around me who refused to even try, fearing they might get "barf" or "rotten egg." It's just a jelly bean people! After playing a few rounds with the coworker I soon purchased my own from Amazon and have had fun playing with my family over the holidays and any friends that have stopped over. It's also been interesting to see which friends can taste the flavor immediately and who has to chew for a while, some people's taste buds are shot! This is a clever game that offers a few minutes of fun. I just feel sorry for the poor folks at Jelly Belly that have to do the taste testing. "Hey team, you've almost hit the nail on the head with this rotten egg but it needs to taste a little bit more...well, rotten. And the barf flavor - could we add more of a half digested pepperoni flavor to it? Thanks, I look forward to the new iteration." Yikes!

Disgusting, as it should be.

I got these on a whim to take to work and share. The ratio of bad to good is quite high in the box, I'd go so far as to say 5:1. So there is no worry that you won't get to experience the nasty ones. I'd like to give Jelly Belly kudos for nailing some of the flavors too, they taste exactly like the items either taste or smell (in the case of things I haven't actually tasted) Flavor ranking tiers: Tier 1 the worst of the worst is Dead Fish and Puke. I'm not sure which I'd say is worst between them. These are phenomenally bad. Tier 2 are really bad. I'd call Spoiled Milk, Canned Dog Food, Rotten Egg Tier 2 flavors. Special points to danned dog food having an extremely long lasting flavor. Tier 3 is not pleasant, but not heinous either. I'd put Booger, Moldy Cheese and Buttered Popcorn on this tier. Yes buttered popcorn. It's nasty. So that bean is lose/lose for me. Tier 4 is just odd. Stinky Socks, Lawn Clippings and Toothpaste live here. They're not bad, just odd. In fact I've kinda grown to like the Lawn Clippings one. If you want to have a good time laughing at your friends, give em a go. But I promise, these flavors are not just a hint of flavor, they are powerful.

Fun game - have your camera ready!

Oh my goodness, this game is amazing and SO funny! I am the mom of 4 kids who, for some reason, have been squabbling more lately than usual (back to school? I don't know. Anyway...). They range in age from 4 to 12 and no matter what I have tried, they just keep arguing. I saw this game while browsing Amazon and decided to try it. Boy, did it work! I did not tell them this was coming ahead of time, and honestly I sort of forgot about it until it showed up. Super fast shipping, btw. The moment the kids discovered that this game was in the house they ALL wanted to play it TOGETHER RIGHT NOW! This virtually never happens that there is something all 4 of them are interested in and for them all to want to do it at the same time...WOW...Bean Boozled is some game! That evening, we played. I suggest a little setting up beforehand because this game is a little bit messy and a lot gross (which is why they love it). Put a paper towel or paper plate down as a place mat at each person's place. Give each person a LARGE glass of water and have some extra water in pitchers on the table. Make sure to have a big pile of paper napkins at each end of the table. I took my place at the end of the table with camera in hand, my husband sat at the other end, and the kids sat on the sides. Since I had the camera, I did not participate in the game. Round after round, they got things like baby wipes and skunk and canned dog food flavored jelly beans, and much to my amazement, they willingly continued. My husband made it a couple rounds, and was done once he got a booger flavored one (yes, really...ha!). Our oldest son (12) lasted a while until he got canned dog food and then barf one after the other, and decided that was enough for him. The 4 year old had moldy cheese (she liked it - said it tasted like spicy nachos), but kept getting skunk and got tired of skunk after 3 rounds of that and nothing else. Our 8 and 11 year olds got every single flavor I think, and just kept going until I cut them off. If you have adventurous 8-12 year olds, I think it is best suited to them. We also all decided this would make a great alternative to a drinking game. :) Bean Boozled is a winner in this house. Everybody loved it, the kids are getting along better again since that evening, and it is a VERY funny game to play! Oh, and after playing for an hour with 6 people, we only used about half the box. They give you quite a few.

Great for some laughs

I know you're looking at this thinking, "they're jelly beans. There is no way they can taste that bad"... well I'm here to tell you that YES, YES THEY CAN. I'm honestly IMPRESSED with the company for being able to match these awful flavors SO WELL. I also feel incredibly sorry for the workers that had to taste test these until they got the combinations just right. Or wrong? Idk. We got this for my brother to play with myself and my husband. Surprisingly my mom joined in too. It was a good time. So SO gross. Dead fish is by far the worst. In my opinion. It just wont leave your mouth. My husband argues that the worst is definitely stink bug. They're all terrible. I will tell you that. Except toothpaste. Idk how that one was supposed to be awful.

Great for get togethers and parties!!!

Got several boxes of these for both of my Great Nephews' birthdays. I've never laughed so hard at all the gagging and facial features from this game ever. Dog food smelled like dog food when they ate it and exhaled, the sour milk smelled like it, rotten eggs, vomit (which was pretty spot on), and all the others. I didn't eat any because I already knew what to expect. And Wooooo, it was hard to not throw mints at them throughout the game play. But towards the end, they did the, "You take half the box, I take half the box, 1-2-3..." And the trash can was royally abused from all the spitting and gagging. Oh god it was hilarious!!! And these were mid teenage boys that nothing could faze them. They were so wrong on so many levels. And it was awesome. Great time in the end!!!

REALLY fun game for kids!

Oh my WORD... my kids LOVE this game!!! LOL When I first received it I thought to myself .. WHAT? a bit of jelly beans and a spinner? That is it... ? BUT when my kids saw it the screamed with delight. It is apparently the latest rage and the nasty flavors include: stinky sox, rotten eggs, lawn clippings, dog food, boogers, puke, baby wipes etc. Then there are flavors that look identical to those nasty ones (lime, buttered popcorn, pear etc. and you spin for a color and hope you don't get a nasty one cuz you have to eat it. OK, so this seems dumb to me but honestly we have every neighbor kid at our house playing this game and they BEG me to get more beans when they are out (which I find at Walmart). I say, if you are a cool parent or grandparent.. go ahead and get this game. It's not expensive and provides hours and hours of fun!

This will make a fun Christmas game for the family

To start I have 5 older siblings. During Christmas we all get together at our parent's house and spend the day. I'm always looking for fun gag gifts or games to get everyone involved and laughing with each other and this will certainly do just that this year. The gist of the game is that you flick the spinner and it will land on 2 possibilities, 1 a gross one such as "puke" and one a good one such as "buttered popcorn". You have no idea which you are getting until it's too late. Not knowing which you're getting is the best part and what makes it so much fun. For $5 I see this becoming a new tradition at family get togethers.

Great party fun for the brave and adventerous!

I have no idea why this should be so fun for kids, as I can't imagine the thrill of being grossed out, but for an upcoming child's birthday party I was practically begged to purchase these beans. And I have to admit, the kids loved it and the game provided a solid hour of nauseating entertainment. You spin the wheel and have to pick whatever color bean it lands on. Only you don't know if you're going to get chocolate pudding or canned dog food, or any number of other disgusting flavors (barf, skunk spray, booger, etc). I will say the number of gross beans seemed to far outweigh the number of good ones as we went through the whole box with several people complaining they hadn't had any good ones, but that's half the fun I guess. And the flavors are VERY strong, you won't get a whiff of barf but the taste will hit you head on; the kids did allow each other to spit them out but only after a pre-determined number of chews. I like this version better than the canister set, as in this set none of the flavors of the gross beans affected the flavors of the good ones (in the canister we noticed that all the beans sort of tasted like barf; maybe the heat of the plastic?). This is a bit of a smaller set so you may need more if you have a large group, but this worked out well for a group of 6 as by the time they finished it they didn't want to play any more anyway. If your kids want to try this game I'd say go for it; it's reasonably priced, hilarious, and unforgettable entertainment for those who are brave enough to play!

Hilarious

My niece and nephew had so much fun with this, I am not even sure if they played the game or just challenged one another to the similar colors like Russian roulette. They talked about it a lot so I know that they liked it (boy 10 girl 7). They even ate them off the floor of the car because it spilled open when we were driving. That would be the only thing I would say about this product is maybe tape the box closed because once the cellophane comes off, there go all the jelly beans if you aren't super careful. This brought me back to my youth with Garbage Patch Kids, something only kids can appreciate...and thinking about the jelly belly store in our town mall. Thanks Jelly Belly!
