This one tastes like a booger

Recently we visited the Jelly Belly Factory.  During our visit, we purchased a variety of jelly beans.  My favorite jelly bean this time:  mango chili.  Sweet, but, with a spicy twist at the end.

RT happened to open a bag when we got back.  Popped a jelly bean in his mouth and started chewing.  "This one tastes like a booger."  Bella and I laughed.  He didn't seem phased by it.  And, we thought nothing of it.

That night, Bella happened to look at the bags of jelly beans we purchased.  On the back of one of the bags (the bag RT opened) it said, "Assorted Bean Boozled Flops."

If you know anything about Jelly Belly, you know that their  Bean Boozled game is quite popular.  That's where you spin a spinner and you eat the color of jelly bean that it lands on.  Sounds fun and easy, but, there are good tasting jelly beans and not so good tasting jelly beans.

For example:

Peach  or  barf
Tutti Frutti  or Stinky Socks
Berry Blue  or  Toothpaste
Lime  or  Lawn clippings
Chocolate pudding  or  dog food
Caramel Corn  or  Moldy Cheese
Juicy Pear  or Booger

I figure RT picked this bag without knowing anything about the Bean Boozle Challenge.  I thought we would have a little fun with him.

On our drive home, RT wanted us to break out the jelly beans.  Bella gave him a handful.  He tries one and we ask what flavor he got.  "This one tastes like cardboard."  Next one.  "I think they got the flavors mixed up on this one.  It doesn't taste right."

Bella decided to eat one and got dog food.  The entire car smelled like dog food.  We decided to tell RT about the jelly beans.

"Why would anyone want to eat jelly beans that taste like boogers?"

By the way, I think he had the stinky sock and dead fish jelly beans.  He also felt ill after eating them.
