5.0 out of 5 stars Fun but proceed with caution., July 7, 2005

These are a little fun as long as you know what you are getting into. If you are a kid these are a riot, maybe a better gag gift than anything else. Great for a party. But you have to proceed very carefully should you choose to try eating these. They are not kidding that they faithfully reproduced the idea from the book and movie about jelly beans that had bad flavors along with good. Now they offer a chart you can compare the look of the bean to figure out what flavor a bean is before you bite. Thhey are made by the Jelly Belly company so they are the highest quality jelly beans with some of their typical really good flavors like cherry, etc. They have some no-typical flavors made just for this Harry Potter set called Wild Flavors, and they are pretty gross. But after all, kids love gross stuff so it's OK. The flavors are different in every box, so buy a few boxes to try them all.

You can recover from some of the bad flavors, such as grass, soap, dirt, spaghetti, sardines and earwax - they are authentic and taste like these items. But the vomit flavor may actually make you naseous, as it did to me. I could not get the taste out of my mouth for 2 days. See I bought mine before they started offering charts to check the flavor. So proceed cautiously, take a tiny test bite if it is hard to tell from the chart to avoid a nasty suprise. Some packages have a nice multicolor cloth bag included.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE ORIGINAL!!, August 14, 2010

By 

Sandman (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Jelly Beans Bag 3oz. (Misc.)

WARNING!! These are no longer made by Jelly Belly!! When they first came out, Jelly Belly handled them and they were great, yes even the nasty flavors...well, at least they were authentically flavored anyway. Now, evidently the folks at Warner Bros. decided to go cheap after the license ran out for jelly Belly. These new ones by some candy company I've never heard of are HORRIBLE. Even the ones that are supposed to taste good. They don't taste much like what they're supposed to and we had trouble figuring out what flavor was what. These don't taste much better than the cheapo jelly beans you can find at Easter. I had assumed based on the similar packaging that they were the same. The odd shaped little uglies should have given me a clue...Jelly Belly NEVER puts those in with their regular beans.

Unless you're just into torturing your palette, steer clear of these rip-offs. They're a poor substitute for the originals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful, June 14, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Jelly Beans Bag 3oz. (Misc.)

You need to be careful around these; they mean EVERY FLAVOR. Albus Dumbledore didn't lie, he came across one that was vomit flavor, and guess what? First one I had was vomit. It wasn't hard to discern. My mom refused (I'm a kid using my mother's name so don't think this reveiw is by an adult)to eat a single one. Some of them weren't too bad, but what I suggest is don't eat the whole bean, take a small bite, chew then eat the rest if you find it appealing. I think that if you had someone over play this little joke on them: Take the beans out of their little carrier then place them in a bowl. Then tell your friend they're "Jelly Bellies", they'll take one then I suggest you run and get them a glass of water. Look, try them, don't chicken out, at least eat the small bag of what you have. If you think they're okay buy more, if you thought they were some sick joke then don't buy anymore! Anyway, try a bag, they have some variety.
