Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans

Jelly beans that might be blueberry — or might be Vomit. Jelly Belly made the Harry Potter books' candy gamble real, gruesome flavors and all, and turned every playground into a dare arena: take one blind, make the face, sprint to the trash can.

Doctor Dreadful

Tyco's mad-scientist candy lab: mix the powder pouches with water, and out came Monster Brains, Monster Skin and Chewy Creatures that were slimy, foamy, gross to look at and sugary to eat. Doctor Dreadful, pitched on TV by the voice of the Crypt Keeper, was the mid-90s gross-out toy in a box.

Gooey Louie

The gleefully disgusting game where you took turns pulling green rubber boogers out of a big plastic head's nose. Pull the wrong one and Louie's eyes bulged, his head flipped open, and his brain launched into the air.
