Science! Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans® Taste Test

Some of you may be wondering how the 12 flavors of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans® stack up. Wait no further, my friend. Our crack research team consisting of a 5½ year old boy and his Mum, through exhaustive trials, tests and re-tests mind you, have come up with definitive rankings. Our bag had a total of 20 different flavors, but only 12 were Bertie Bott’s.

Here they are, from Ugh! to Yum!

  1. Rotten Egg (gagging and running to the wastebasket was involved) DRAMA!
  2. Sardine (vocal protests and unintelligible noises)
  3. Vomit (bugged eyes)
  4. Soap (leaving the table lab area and running around flapping arms) more DRAMA!
  5. Pickle (lots of “Yuck!” noises)
  6. Black Pepper (major faces without much noise)
  7. Sausage (slightly lesser faces)
  8. Dirt (grimacing)
  9. Grass
  10. Earthworm
  11. Booger (not so bad)
  12. Ear Wax
  13. Cinnamon (the first non-Bertie Bott)
  14. Tutti Fruitti (”That was terrible, do it again!” he cried, laughing.)
  15. Cherry
  16. Blueberry
  17. Grape Jelly
  18. Buttered Popcorn
  19. Toasted Marshmallow
  20. Lemon Drop

Note: flavors > 12 (Cinnamon) are Jelly Bellies™, not Bertie Bott’s®. Thus, the last seven or so are pretty good, but towards the top of the list — not so much… I guess that makes the Bertie Bott’s, well, disgusting. ;-) Of course, your mileage may vary.
