4., 5., AND 6. BARF, BOOGERS, AND BABY WIPES
Any list of weird jelly bean flavors would be incomplete without Jelly Belly’s BeanBoozled line, which cunningly mixes “weird and wild” flavors with normal flavors that look almost exactly like them. Will you get barf, boogers, and baby wipes or peach, juicy pear, and coconut? Do you want to risk it?
