Jelly Belly's New BeanBoozled Game Is So Spicy It's Making People Sweat

Updated August 23, 2021

I have to admit, jelly beans are one of my least favorite candies, yet once I pop one in my mouth, I can't stop. There's a certain allure around trying to guess what very non-natural flavor the little sugary gummy bean is, studying each and every one so I can remember which one I liked best the next time I reach my hand in the jar.

I know I'm not the only one who finds the fun in guessing jelly bean flavors, but their partnership with Harry Potter to bring the flavors of Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans to life changed everything. Soon, we were guessing, "is the green one lime or booger?" among other stomach-churning flavors.

That's where their BeanBoozled game comes in.

The premise of the game is very similar to tasting Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans, except this time there's a spinner that lands on which color of jelly bean you're to try.

Is it Birthday Cake or Dirty Dishwater, or maybe Toasted Marshmallow or Stink Bug?

I don't know why we do this to ourselves, but we do.

As if it couldn't get more horrifying, Jelly Belly just released a new edition for those who like spice.

It's their "Fiery Five Challenge," and instead of having some other sweet flavors mixed in, there are only five spicy flavors.

These are no joke. The package sports a couple warning labels, one dubbing them as "extremely hot," and another stating it's only safe for people aged 13 or older to consume.
