No clients/class tomorrow till 6pm so I promised to take my DD to the JELLY BELLY FACTORY tour!!! It's in the town I grew up in and where my parents still reside, so she gets to kick it with grandparents and do the tour in the same day! She did it before, but she was only 3 at the time and now she wants to try the BEAN BOOZLED challenge. That's where jelly beans are laid out and you pick beans of similar color and guess the flavor, BUT it could end up being BARF, MOLDED CHEESE, ROTTEN EGG, BOOGER, etc. I've done it before and it can get pretty nasty, but it's hella funny looking at the faces of people doing the challenge along with some of the dry heaving.
Oh and hell yeah I'm buying HELLA Jelly Beans!

    So fun! We bought a box of Bertie Botts every flavor beans when we were at universal and we never finished it because we were too scared! Have a great day with the kid-those are the best days.

    I recently saw an episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe visited the factory and created a flavor based on the smell of his shoes.

    Thanks for this post, I was planning a panning for gold activity for our next norcal trip b/c we already did Alcatraz, but this sounds incredibly fun! Minus the gross taste/guessing, we'll pass on that.

    At least I will.

    I just watched an episode of Bizarre Foods America where Andrew Zimmern went to the factory. It sounds like fun. Sounds like you all will have a lot of fun!

    I guess my question is.. who does the initial taste testing to make sure they've got the right taste for grosser ones?

    lol so did I. The baby wipes one, albeit tasted like soap, wasn't too bad either.

    My boys got the game as a gift from Grandma when she came home from a visit to the factory. They laughed themselves into hysterics when they fed me an awful one with my not knowing the game! Fun for all ages!

    Maybe because he's having a fun day and the rest of us are probably working.

    I used to love Jelly Belly beans but now that they're 11.95 a pound at the jelly belly store i go with the cheaper ones. The factory tour would be neat. I haven't even made it to Hershey PA and i'm only 4 hours from it.
