I always throw out or pick through these. I like red licorice though not black.

I dunno whether you know this or not but the black Jelly beans aren't licorice flavour :) They are Aniseed flavour & it's awful - NOTHING like normal licorice! I HATE the black Jelly Beans but my Mum loves them so whenever i had any, i'd give them to her & she'd gladly eat them. I could never understand why she liked them, they were awful but then again, not everyone has the same tastes!

Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Jelly Beans - Discover the wild flavors of EARWAX, DIRT, GRASS, BOOGER, SARDINE, BLACK PEPPER and the 2 latest new flavors ROTTEN EGG and BACON. And, everyone's favorite VOMIT.
I have never been a fan of the black jelly beans; the only time I ate one was when I got the Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Beans. Even then, I wasn't all that impressed with them lol.

i don't like black licorice either - it's a tad too bitter for me. for jellybeans, usually i try a few before deciding which colour in that pack i like best. cos the green ones from one shop might taste quite different from the green ones from another shop. the other thing is that i used to think that black ones were blackcurrent, only to have a rude shock of bitterness sometimes!

I eat them. I like red and black licorice flavors. The only jelly beans that I do not eat are the pink ones. They taste funny to me. I prefer the Jelly Belly ones though over the other brands that just taste like sugar. The Jelly Belly ones actually have a taste.

I used to love the black jelly beans because they are licorice. I hear they're good for your adrenals, but are bad for your blood pressure. I can't eat them anymore because I have a problem with my adrenal glands putting out too much aldosterone, which black licorice can cause an increase. I also have too little cortisone, so it makes the problem worse. Otherwise, I would eat black licorice jelly beans all day long!

Ew, I've always hated black licorice and black jellybeans. The only person I know that likes them is my mother-in-law. I never liked red ones either unless they're cinnamon flavor. I rarely eat candy anymore but my favorite jelly beans were always the Starburst and Jelly Belly brands.

Ooooo, yuck! I hate black jelly beans. I have never acquired a taste for licorice. I always pick out the black jelly beans. But lately, it seems that the jelly beans I have been buying don't even have black in them anymore. That works for me.

OK, you can all send me your black jelly beans. They're my favorite, even though they turn my tongue purple. I go out and buy bags of all black beans!
