earwax-flavoured bean
Alas! Earwax!
earwax!
Hi!!
Dumbledore ends up eating an earwax jellybean!
If I could come up with my own… It would be: soapy dish sponge flavour (ew!)
I would make a jelly bean that can give any flavour in your mouth. All you have to do is thi of any food/drink etc. and out will taste it
Similar to the gum in willy wonka’s chocolate factory
*think
Earwax, thinking it was a toffee.
And I think I’d create a Skele-Gro flavoured one, made with the actual stuff. Harry would just love it. I’d make it a bright green, like a lime-flavoured one.
He ate the earwax flavored jelly bean, and if I came up with a new favor, it would be hair flavored.
Maybe shoe sole flavored jelly bean which is disgusting
He ate the earwax flavored jelly bean 😀
Also, if i could come up with a jelly bean
id come up a jelly bean,i would make a jelly bean that tastes like a country. I really like to travel so each of my jelly bean would TASTE LIKE A COUNTRY 😀
crazy huh
well how id do it is that
id mix everything related to lets say canada.
id mix maple syrup and bacon and poutine and anything canada related and BAM a canadian jelly bean 😀
id then do this for each country.
Making it feel like youre in the country in your mouth
crazy i know 😛
He ate an earwax flavored jelly bean. If I had a jelly bean factory I would totally have worm flavored or water flavored or dirt flavored jelly beans and they would be the most unique flavor in the world because they don’t exist, and for people that really like to taste new things it would be perfect, even for people who’ve always wanted to try dirt or worms without directly eating them can’taste them and experience the taste and learn to never eat it again. 😀 just like the movie how to eat fried worms.😉
Earwax!
Amazing flavour: Sugary Nutella
Disgusting flavour: Snotty dried grass
Since taste is basically 90% smell, I would make a jelly bean that could make you feel like your in any place,
Maybe:
1) the minty, fresh air of an evergreen pine tree forest gum
2) the smell of incense sticks and flowers at the Taj Mahal
3) or the feeling you are eating your favourite dish at you grandmothers fresh home of air freshened and naked cookies
😄 it might not be that good of an example
Just for fun
Oh my bad * baked cookies
Autocorrect is so annoying lol 😂
In Harry Potter and the Philopher’s Stone, Professor Dumbledore took earwax flavored bean from Harry.
If I get a chance to make my own type of jelly bean, then this is what it would look like:
My jelly bean would have seven colours just like rainbow.It would be very soft. When you put it in your mouth, you can’taste anything you can’think of such as-vanilla, chocolate or any other flavor.It will have the sweetest blossom you can ever think of. People who are sick, this jelly bean will work as medicine for them, so they can get better. I would make sure it’s vary cheap, so anyone can eat it.
Imagination can never be concluded, but I think I should stop imagining about my jelly bean here.
Thanks so much 🙂
I’d create a jelly bean that tastes like revenge, because sayings like “the sweet taste of revenge” and “revenge is best served cold” make me wonder what exactly revenge would taste like!! Similarly, I wonder what a “taste of your own medicine” would taste like if it were a jelly bean!
I would want to make a jelly bean that tastes like people’s personalities (or character traits)! For example, boring personalities would taste bland and nice/kind personalities would taste sweet!
This contest is closed. Thanks for your submissions everyone! We’ll announce winners soon. In the meantime, try your luck in some of our other contests!
Yes! That’s a great idea! Meal in a bean!
Hey Monica, where do we post our collage for the collage-making contest? :S

Hi All!
Thank you all for participating and for your wonderful and creative submissions. Some of the flavours I would love to try, and some I would love never to try! LOL
Congratulations to Kaj, who was the first one to answer the question correctly. Dumbledore did, in fact, select an ear-wax flavoured jelly bean.
Congratulations also to Narmi for her creation of ‘country flavoured’ jelly beans.
There are many other contests currently running, and coming up, so please continue to be active in Word Out 2014 and keep those creative juices flowing!
