## 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**.

## 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, light blue, & orange color pallate.

## 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 six editions.
