Disturbing candy you can buy: BeanBoozled, Bertie Bott's and real-bug lollipops

Jelly Belly's BeanBoozled pairs lookalike jelly beans so you can't tell Sweet Peach from Barf or Licorice from Burnt Rubber until you bite. Harry Potter's Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans include Vomit and Earwax, and Hotlix sells lollipops with a real scorpion or cricket inside.

"Trying disturbing candy" is its own genre of video: the gross-out flavor gamble, the bug you can see through the candy. These are the ones people buy to film.

How the BeanBoozled challenge works

Jelly Belly's own four steps:

  1. Group the look-alikes.
  2. Spin the wheel.
  3. Taste the truth: eat the bean the spinner lands on.
  4. Face the flavor: was it Strawberry Banana Smoothie or Dead Fish?

Do it safely

  • The 7th Edition pairs: Strawberry Banana Smoothie or Dead Fish, Licorice or Burnt Rubber, Top Banana or Wet Dog, Tutti Fruitti or Stinky Socks, Berry Blue or Toothpaste, Toasted Marshmallow or Stink Bug, Juicy Pear or Booger, Pomegranate or Old Bandage, Cappuccino or Liver & Onions, Sweet Peach or Barf.
  • Keep a bin nearby. Nobody is judged for spitting.
