the worst HP merchandise

[penmouse756]

Hi Kim,
I went to Convention Alley in Ottawa this past summer and a whole 
group of girls was playing a game where everyone would pop a Bertie 
Botts bean and then wait to see who got the nasty ones! It was a 
hoot to see the reactions.
I tried them myself and it is amazing how real the flavours are - 
grass (not too bad), dirt (tastes just like it), earthworm (tastes 
like salty dirt), spinach (not bad). For me, the sardine one was the 
worst, although I was very lucky not to get the vomit. I smelled it 
and it smells like vomit and I have it on good authority that it 
tastes like it too. The smell was more than enough for me.
Be brave and try them; it is fun with a gang, believe it or not. 
Just have some kleenex and a glass of water handy!
