Published May 15, 2008 12:35 am - Jelly Belly has some truly offbeat flavors — like ear wax and vomit.

Weird News: Jelly beans you may not want to taste


By Chuck Shepherd
News of the Weird

A highlight of this year’s Easter promotion by the Jelly Belly company (as additions to its 50 standard flavors) was its surprise BeanBoozled boxes, with odd tastes and non- standard colors. Although garlic beans, buttered-toast beans and cheese pizza beans are no longer available, connoisseurs can sample jelly beans made to taste like pencil shavings, ear wax, moldy cheese and vomit. A Jelly Belly spokeswoman told Newhouse News Service in March, “There are 20 flavors in each little box ... so you don’t know what flavor you are tasting ... coconut or baby wipe.”
