dr. pepper jelly bellies
i am currently going through my new 49 flavor bag of jelly bellies. i have printed color pictures of each bean from jellybelly.com, so i can more easily identify the flavors. i have tasted 26 of 49. there are some really nasty jelly beans, though. think the worst is juicy pear. back in june, i wrote about my favorite belly flavor: dr pepper. made from the original fountain syrup complete with caffeine, this tiny oblong ball of happiness is a computer programmer's snack food nirvana. i currently have 2 one kilogram bags of these beans sitting in my cubicle.
i also bought a couple of boxes of harry potter jelly bellies in my last order. here are some of the more interesting flavors: black pepper, booger, dirt, ear wax, grass, sardine, spinach, and vomit. yes, vomit. after trying dirt and sardine, i can indeed confirm that they taste just like the real thing. i am terrified of that vomit bean.
so here is today's question-begging-for-a-response-via-comment: what is your favorite and most hated jelly belly flavor? if you have not had the good fortune of tasting these, perhaps i can remedy the situation.

Wouldn't the vomit-flavored jelly belly reflect the flavor of the jelly bellies you have just overeaten? How would one determine that, I wonder...
2 Flavors that should exist, since they're so good at duplicating...sunshine, and sleep.

Oh my good, Dr Pepper Jelly Belly's!! That sounds like heaven. They dont sell those in the edinburgh corner shop I get them in. I love the root beer Jelly Belly (never tasted real root beer before as cannot get it here). And I hate any sour ones.
