Former President Ronald Reagan started eating Jelly Belly jelly beans when he was running for governor of California and was quitting smoking,as it turned out he gave up one addiction for another. His favorite flavor was licorice. Fast forward to 2008 when Jelly Belly was asked to come up with awful flavors to pair with the Harry Potter movies and Reagan's favorite (licorice) became paired with skunk spray. There is also a game called Bean Boozled where players spin a spinner and have to eat whatever flavors they land on without knowing if they are getting a regular bean or a barf flavored one. Here is a list of some of the look alike pairings:
- Canned Dog Food –
- Chocolate Pudding
- Skunk Spray –
- Licorice
- Rotten Egg –
- Buttered Popcorn
- Centipede –
- Strawberry Jam
- Booger –
- Juicy Pear
- Baby Wipes –
- Coconut
- Barf –
- Peach
- Moldy Cheese –
- Caramel Corn
- Pencil Shavings –
- Top Banana
- Toothpaste –
- Berry Blue
- The barf flavored bean was an accident made years before the other disgusting flavors when they were trying to develop a cheese pizza jelly bean. Another interesting aside is it takes 10-14 days to make a jelly bean...at that rate you would expect the price to be prohibitive,oh well,I've never really cared for jelly beans.
