I've been BeAn BOoZLEd!! (Bean Boozled)

For Christmas, Blake's sister Allison gave us a fun candy game!  It's called Bean Boozled, and it's quite clever!  Jellybelly beans are made to look identical, but have different flavors. 
The trick to this game??!?! You need to be completely lucky in both which one you spin, and which one you choose to eat!  Don't be like me.....
 
Just to give you some insight on the high stakes.  The flavors are:
 

 On the back of the box, it sums up the point of the game: "Caution: These jelly beans may look alike but they could not taste more different from each other.  Think you can tell them apart? WE DARE YOU!"
 
And for sure they meant it when they say they don't taste alike.  The bad beans are terrible!!!
 
The regular gameplay goes something like this: everyone would spin and choose a color that corresponded with the space they spun on.  Then, the player will pick a jelly bean of that color. It's either good or bad.
 
My gameplay went something like this:  I spin. I get a color. I pick up the jellybean.  I bite into it as much as I can take and spit the rest into a garbage can. I got a bad one 9 out of the 10 rounds of the game!  agh!
 
So...even though I had to eat tons of rotten flavors of jellybeans, I guess I had fun while everyone was laughing at me.  Here's a classification of the bad ones so you know which ones to avoid:
 
Not that bad:  Babywipes, Pencil Shavings, Toothpaste
EW!!: Skunk Spray, Moldy Cheese, Canned Dog Food
Gonna Lose It:  Barf, Centipede, Booger, Rotten Egg
 
And Rotten Egg was the worse. Everyone at the table almost lost their dinner when that one was first experienced.  :)  :)
 
Conclusion? 
This is a fun game. Just expect to have a not-so-pleasant taste in your mouth! (hopefully not every turn!)
