But they were 2.00 and i had already bought two books. Has anyone tried them? Do they really actually taste bad?

Depends on which flavor you get.

I've eaten Dirt, Vomit, and Ear Wax

those are all gross but they have normal flavors too!

With a kick - they really arn't worth the price, although you can sometimes get them around easter for a cheaper price

I have a few of them... but I'm too afraid to eat them. I mean, the vomit one you say is nasty... does it really taste like vomit?

As cards says :

they taste like jelly beAnSS lol

no really, I bought about two packs, they're really cool as a collectable and to try some...they're pretty cool in the sense that they really got the taste of dirt down or grass, some are good, and I must admit, ear wax was a better one Razz it was good. lol.. Yeah, they're worth your money, I had to buy them for about 5 bucks a pack in canada, but I could have gone to this candy store and I could buy about 5 times as much more about the same price, there are some stores where you can buy real jelly beans like coffee and flavors like that. Its cool

Oh, so they are bad. That settles it, I'm brave, but I'm not stupid.

lol, awe shucks, thanks Razz lol.

Well then, if you want a full FULL complete advice, here it goes:
lol
They last forever, so if you'd like to collect them, just as a memoir for HP books, rather then eat them.

Here are the flavors:
Sausage - it tasted good, like sausage, but a little weird because its cold.

Pickles- I HATE pickles, so this was absolutely revolting, but if you like pickles, like my brother, you'll like these.

Cherry - I liked this one, classic cherry flavored Jelly bean Very Happy

Grape - Grape, meh..nothing special

Lemon Drop - this one was great, I'm so compelled by how the trap the flavor in them.

Ear Wax - It has a good taste at first, to be honest, but then it gets sour or something...kinda gross.

Vomit - Like vomit, absolutely disgusting...I tricked my mom into thinking it was strawberry and she was so grossed out.

Grass - This one tastes like sweet grass, and it was really good actually, I loved these. lol

Earth Worm - It's like dirt mixed with sausage, so if you ever ate Earthworms as a child, its almost the same flavor without the ooze of guts...gross!

Dirt - It tastes like the smell of dirt after a rain fall...fun to taste at first, but doesn't have good replay taste :S blah

Tutey-Fruity - I love this, it's like cotton candy--sooo goood!

Boogars - Umm...something like ear wax and vomit..

Rotten Eggs - Pretty bad attempt at it, it tasted like mild vomit..gross...I wish they just made normal eggs..

So that's about all that I can remember on the top of my head..

If you're interested in buying these, then go for it. I recommend you do, because its 2 dollars, for one thing, and its kinda worth it. I think they're also limited time so buy while you can I guess. Razz

you know at first it tastes kinda mild...like the first one, after several deeps breaths and bracing yourself for it, its not AS gross..but after a few bites and chews into it, it just becomes like crap, and you could taste your own vomit creeping up from your throat...:S lol, but its all fun.

*I know this is late but still have to answer it*

yes, it really does - and I about tossed my own cookies when I ate it.

Dirt was an interesting flavor though...
