What's Really In A Barf Jelly Belly? 

I'm surprised you didn't mention that to make the bad-flavored beans, they wait until night when the rest of the factory is shut down or risk contaminating the normal lineup of flavors.

🧠: When I went to the Jelly Belly factory they said they accidentally invented the barf flavored jelly bean when they were trying to make a pepperoni pizza one.

Played Bean boozled one New Year's pre-lockdown. Went to bed with the second barf bean of the night (I'm unlucky as hell) stuck in my throat. Woke up a few hours after going to bed, went to throw up due to the taste and was relieved when the vomit tasted better than the bean.

I used to go to the Jelly Belly factory when I was a kid, it always felt like being in a real-life Wonka factory. My favorite part was the portraits made of Jelly Bellies

Admit it, if you got a Berry Blast/Toothpaste you ate it regardless of the outcome.

We combined Bean Boozled with Cards Against Humanity. The losers of the round will draw a jellybean.

Funny thing is how they say cherry is the most sold Jelly Bean. This is likely because its the cheapest overall one which they flood every market with and add to every package of mixed jelly beans. Its like saying Coke Cola sells the most coke. This is because every fast food place only stocks coke and really nothing else. Most people who drink soda will just opt for coke if that is their only choice.

I used to work for a major Jelly Belly retailer. We got six pound boxes of each flavor in our shipments to put in our dispensers. The Bean Boozled flavors STINK in large concentrations, and sometimes if the warehouse was too hot some of the boxes of beans would melt a little and become a bean brick that we employees had to manually pull apart with our (gloved) hands. Well, one time it happened with a box of the puke beans. My coworker helping me break up the brick said it looked and smelled like dissecting a placenta and I could never unsee or unsmell that.

The scrapped pepperoni pizza flavor becoming the barf flavor is interesting to me because Parmesan cheese and vomit actually both have a compound (butyric acid) that make them taste/smell the same. This strong smell only comes from Parmesan cheese if it’s mishandled tho

I'm fine with all the flavors, save one. Buttered popcorn. it broke my brain.

tl;dw, so i googled it: Barf (formerly Vomit) is a BeanBoozled jelly bean that was introduced since BeanBoozled's debut. It is a medium-dark orange with red splotches to resemble harmless Peach jelly beans. The flavor was the result of a failed attempt at creating a cheese pizza flavor, where Jelly Belly accidentally used a smelly cheese.

The Danish candy manufacturer *BonBon A/S* got a new owner in 1988. They launched a new hard candy with a different and slightly unorthodox taste, which included, among other things, ammonium chloride, (a not uncommon ingredient in Danish licorice) which they gave an appropriate name: *Dog farts* - Hundeprutter The new "naughty" product was a hit with children, and soon they expanded the range with several fun variants: Rotten fish, sewage sludge, seagull droppings, earwax, pee diapers, etc. etc. In 2001 the company was sold to the danish candy giant *Toms* , who retired most of the variants except the most popular.

video could have been 1 minute holy hell, just skip to 9:00 to get the answer and still be entertained

There used to be a candy shop near where I grew up and they would often have the new flavors available to sample. At the time I wished that the apricot flavor would catch on more!

jellybelly roulette is a fun worktime activity.

The Licorice/Skunk one was a double whammy

Peach, pear, toasted marshmallow and grape! Mmmm 😋

Imagine if they made Cheeseburger flavored Jelly Beans

Watermelon flavor supremacy!! 🙌🍉

Of course Charlie makes his way into this video.. Had a smile the whole video..

I saw an episode of Modern Marvels where they went to Jelly Belly and a guy that worked there said the vomit flavored bean actually came from the original idea to try and make a pepperoni pizza flavored bean. It apparently tasted so bad that he almost got sick himself. So that gave them an idea to turn it into the vomit flavored bean by taking that original pizza flavor and adding citric acid to it.

Jelly Belly Employee: “Aw, boss, this jelly bean tastes like dog food! What happened?” Boss: “James, you GENIUS. Ok, everybody, we’re going to make 2,763 batches of the dog food bean…”

An episode of Unwrapped also stated they used a failed pepperoni pizza flavor and added citric acid

@3:28 You say he's cooking his friends while my mind went to, "He's cooking naked except for a hat and shoes?"

I can understand the barf-tasting novelty beans. But why is barf-tasting chocolade the main product of Hershey?

I had someone trick me thinking I was doing the usual jelly belly roulette but it was the spicy version 😂

Toasted marshmallow is the GOAT

I visited the factory in Fairfield in 2003, from England. Although you can get JBs in the UK there's a load of flavours you can't get. I think my favourite at the time was jalapeno.

The answer is it was originally a pizza flavor for a game but it tasted like vomit so they called it vomit flavor. 10 minute video over

We played this once in the office, and I got baby wipes. If you're wondering what it taste like, it's like you eating baby powder. I only realized later on that this "baby wipes" was powder scented. It was the worst. Well, not as worst as barf and booger, according to two of my very fortunate co-workers.

Curious that Jelly Belly didn’t do a tie-in with the Boy and His Blob game series, given all the powers you get from the different flavored beans. Betcha that would’ve made a mint back then! Although it would’ve also meant making Ketchup flavored beans, but hey…

My favorites are buttered popcorn, pear, and mint chocolate chip (I don’t know if they make that one anymore). When I was a kid I would pretend that Jelly Bellys were futuristic food capsules.

I love that it took an entire video essay just for me to find out the answer to the question in the title.

I got clickbaited into learning more than I expected to

Good video here and thanks for the topic not always predictable I can say.

Love Jelly Belly! Always a great quality candy, and the options seem endless. 😃❤

We toured the Budweiser factory before the jelly belly one. So I was feeling pretty good and had them give me one of every boozled Bean to try them all at once. Rotten fish stood out over and over.

i jus woke up smokin my weed drinkin my coffee this exactly what i need to start the morning

I remember the whole Reagan and jelly beans obsession, and I remember JBs showing up around then bc I freaked out over the tangerine flavor. Still do.

I totally remember playing this game, had to rush to a trash can at school

This is what I don’t like about RU-vid. The video title and thumbnail makes it seem it’s going to be about what’s in a barf flavored jelly bean, but they start off with a whole monologue about the history of the company. If I wanted to know the history I’d search for that.

Man I've seen anthropomorphic food items before and had the same thoughts. I'm glad I'm not alone. I've seen them with chicken patties and hot dogs and I'm like wait, what?

A+ video! LOVE IT! What a legendary candy, like something out of Willy Wonka!

I went to the factory for a tour and they tell you so much cool stuff that you would never think about. For instance did you know that jelly beans are made with sugar? Fascinating stuff.

Now this is Weird History.

Bean boozle is one of the most evil inventions ever and I love it

omg they referenced all sources that they even referenced the meme 7:17.. nice dedication haha

"and his son, Adolph" 🤨🤨 "Goelitz" 😅

I went to the factory when I was a kid and its still my favorite family trip.

i once ate a jelly bean under my couch because i was a dumb kid and it was the barf flavour, i no joke had to drink 2 bottles of water to get rid of the taste.

Having ANOTHER Weird History drink! Drinking a glass of TANG*†...while watching this Weird History video! * From the Weird History video "The Real Willy Wonka | The Food Scientist Behind Your Favorite Junk Food" † The dry mix is from a 20 ounce container

This reminds me of my childhood watching those candy cooking show on the cooking channel 🥰

Jelly Belly Sours are my go to!

One minute at the end of this ten minute video actually actually discusses the subject of jelly bean flavors, which is something that I was actually interested in hearing about. Your clickbait got a view out of me, so congrats.

good! great!

Everyone knows popcorn is the best flavor.

i remember specifically liking the toothpaste flavor

good video

Damn. So no jelly belly means no Ronald Reagan means the world goes down a much better path. I have a new time travel target

help i laughed really hard when they said adolph for...square mustache related reasons 1:05

I would love to hear the history of the candy Runts

8:31 COURTNEY???

It's great watching kids pay extra for the Bertie Botts beans and then throw out all the gross ones.

Would be interested to hear about Cadbury

I genuinely had jellybeans, and I remember my brother coming home with a box of bean boozled after school. I took the smallest bite you could ever take out of a black one, and I can’t remember if it was skunk or licorice, but I think it actually murdered some of my taste buds. I remember toothpaste being pretty good though lol

I had a friend who thought the vomit flavor tasted like pizza and I thought she was crazy. Turns out her palate was spot on.

I used to eat the barf jellybeans all the time for some reason they were one of my favorites

I feel sorry for the guy who had to repeatedly taste test these things

I haven't bought JellyBelly since they've started their weird stuff (or at least, when I became aware of it), kind of an odd marketing campaign. Not that I wanted to stop eating them, I just feel unintentionally sickened by them because I associate them with horrible flavours.

You can all kill me but I remember actually liking the earwax and black pepper jelly bean

Tuti Fruity and popcorn are the best flavors.

How cereal started what be an interesting one I imagine

Do one on The Clark bar.😀👍

My favorites are the Jelly belly “flops“. All the discarded sizes that they kick back for visual aesthetics. Could easily find them in the discount stores like ‘big lots’ for roughly about three dollars per big bag. I think it’s somewhere around five dollars nowadays. Very much worth the cost.

when i worked at walmart i left a bag of bean cboozled on the break room table... no idea if anyone actually took a handful at once... but i hope they did

My son got a beanboozled kit with spicy Jelly Beans. They’re all spicy and you spin to decide which type of pepper you’ll eat. I like spicy food and put extra hot hot sauce on a lot of food; can eat hot peppers raw. One of those beans really got me, way too hot to play a game that would be any fun!!

Yes! My favorite snack food

jelly belly is actually a master cloner and makes an army of like jelly beans of different flavors to be his friend

I had the harry potter ones when i was a kid. There was one called pencil shavings, and it tasted like that and it felt like where shavings stuck in your throat for like an hour. I still think about it 15ish years later lol

Jelly Belly got every flavors. 😀👍

I had those before. I liked the dead fish ones acully.

Who remembers first learning about this from Mike Rowe on cable tv in 2008

No doubt never any one compare able to this narrator around the world

I played bean boozled before and we had a bin that we could spit into if we bit into a bad jellybean. The smell of all the beans sitting in the bin was genuinely as bad as the taste of the beans themselves

Loved the toothpaste one it doesn’t taste bad

make the weirdest food and stuff tie-ins (movies, shows anything else)

In an alternate universe where WW2 didn’t happen, a German sweets company run by Adolph and Herman became the number one most famous candy brand across Europe, ranging from Paris to Moscow and Norway to Egypt

I’ve really enjoyed this video. Especially after he mentioned the pizza and barf flavored bean. I thought it tasted like some disgusting pizza too

8:16 is where the part about what you actually clicked on the video for starts thank me later

Jelly Bellies are my favorite jelly bean lol. Like I don’t like any other kind. Cream Soda to be exact lol 😂

For those who just want the answer to the title abt the barf go to 9:10. 🙂

They should also do a LAYS sort of competition and have a package of multiple new beans created by the public.

9:20 - Some brands of Mac and Cheese have that same vomit taste, so it makes sense that they've used that same flavour in the vomit jelly bean.

I saw this on phase connect the other day lol

8:16 this is what you’re looking for

I've been to the Jelly Belly Factory in CA :D it was a lot of fun. I can safely say I've never eaten the flavor other than popcorn, that one is gross.

I love toasted marshmallows and chocolate pudding 😊

Either the jelly beans don't taste bad, or I've never gotten a bad jellybean.

Thanks for this! 🫘

I used to play bean-=boozled sm that I eventually learned how to tell the diff between both flavors by selling them, even at a small distance 😭😭😭😭
