Never in my life have I eaten a food and then marked it off as a food I would never, ever, ever eat again. Until now. Not only do these jelly beans give bacon a bad name, they give jelly beans a bad name, and quite possibly all other foods even remotely related to jelly beans and/or bacon. These are the outcast 4th cousin of an incestuous relationship between bacon and jellybeans. Imagine eating a jelly bean, then imagine smelling a campfire. Then, imagine smelling a 4 month old dead opossum that was thrown on the campfire. Now, imagine pouring wolf urine on the opossum and then eating it. That almost describes these jelly beans. After eating just one, the smell and taste lingered in my mouth, throat, sinuses, and a haze above my head for far longer than anything should linger.

On the plus side, they do come in a nice tin, which I'm fairly certain is less toxic to eat than the jelly beans themselves.

These are interesting and fun to pass around to a group, but I haven't met anyone yet who wants more than one. I've had some strange flavored jelly beans that taste like whatever they're meant to be (cut grass, black pepper, popcorn) but these taste nothing like bacon. More like ashtray and refried beans. The container is the best part of the product.

Yes, I am a bacon junkie. Somehow I was expecting JellyBelly quality taste. I mean, if they can nail buttered toast, spinach, dirt, and even vomit, how hard could bacon be? Of course, these are NOT JellyBellys and they taste worse than bacon flavored cat food. Even the dog doesn't like them.

Length:: 0:26 Mins

So, this was the morning torture... everyone that ate one felt violated and traumatized. Then our Russian physicist, Andris, tried one.

This guy is tough as nails.

A very mixed reaction. It's like having the rotting corpse of a cherished one brought back to life.

When I bought these, I was hoping for jelly beans that tasted like the peppered bacon "Bertie Bott's Beans" that Jelly Belly produces. Those are great. These are not. They taste like a combination of liquid smoke and motor oil, and the taste is hard to get out of your mouth!

The only redeeming quality is the nice tin that the beans come in. I suppose these would be good being used as a mean prank on your friends.

I am sure that to some this product tastes like bacon - BUT - to me and all the people that I have let try ths product it is the most DISGUISTING thing I have ever tasted. I bought this as a gag gift and that is what happened when we tried them - we gagged!!! In a fairness to the company I will have to say they delivered the product very quickly and the packaging is wonderful!

This product is disgusting. When you open the tin, the smell is so bad that you gag! Unfortunately, I decided to taste one and had to spit it out. The taste was so BAD and lingered so long that it took hours for the taste to leave my mouth. Shame on Accoutrements.

My first thought of the taste of these beans was "burning building." I can smell it and taste it long after eating a bean. It has a hint of liquid smoke, but mostly tastes like molten asbestos. The tin looks cool, and it's great fun to offer to friends.

If they had labeled these as burnt electrical transformer flavored, I'd say they nailed it. The aroma is somewhere between bad scotch and a tire fire. Lots of fun to watch the reaction of poor unsuspecting victims as the flavor sets in.

Highly recommended for those who like to chew on old circuit boards.
