Scary Jelly Beans!

Maddie and I went to Market Street (grocery store) tonight, she asked for some Jelly Beans. Me not wanting her to have a lot of them spotted a small box of which I thought was a small assortment of Jelly Beans as it had the Jelly Belly logo on the box.

As soon as we got in the car she asked for them, so I found them and handed them to her. All of a sudden she started freaking out saying, "Mommy, they are hot, my mouth is burning." I said, "Maddie, hand them to me and let me find you one that is not hot". So I turned the box around to look at the flavor guide only to be shocked that we had picked up Harry Potter Jelly Beans with the following flavors:
Bacon
Black Pepper
Boogers
Earthworm
Earwax
Rotten Egg
Sardines
Soap
Vomit
I was shocked...that is SO disgusting. Maddie had eaten the Black Pepper one...GAG! The guy at the check-out said "those Jelly Beans really taste like their description" and I was like "Yeah" as I thought to myself, they are Jelly Belly jelly beans everyone knows they taste like their description. I now know he was trying to warn me, but instead I looked at him like he was crazy.

Maddie's comment to the whole thing was "that is a BAD Market Street, Mommy".
