Context

BeanBoozled (often styled spaced out, "Bean Boozled") is a Russian Roulette type branch of Jelly Belly jelly beans which made its debut in 2007.

There are 10 different colors of jelly beans, but 20 different flavors. The game uses a spinner wheel or a dispenser for players to decide what color of jelly bean to sample. Each color of jelly bean could either be the normal, great-tasting flavor or a weird, gross tasting flavor. The bad flavors appear identical to the great tasting ones. For example, the orange bean splashed with red could either be Peach flavor or Barf flavor.

BeanBoozled is currently in its sixth Edition, heading into the seventh.

Appearance

BeanBoozled packaging (bags/boxes) contained a color pallate of indigo, red, yellow, and purple, which are generally at the front & sides of the box, and all around the bags.

The appearance of its packaging was changed upon the release of the sixth edition to a purple, red, cyan, & orange color pallate. In the seventh, the cyan color was slightly darkened.

History

Main Article: Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans

In 2000, Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans launched, which had intentionally gruesome flavors such as "Vomit", "Earwax", "Sausage", "Rotten Egg" and "Booger".

In 2007, Jelly Belly came up with the idea of turning Bertie Bott's beans into a Russian Roulette game. The game included ten great tasting flavors and ten lookalike nasty flavors. Hence, BeanBoozled was made.

Flavors

Below is a table of all BeanBoozled lookalike flavors from all seven editions.
