Your group hang just got a chaotic upgrade thanks to this hilarious Jelly Belly game

Will you eat Tutti-Frutti or Stinky Socks?

Making adult plans is basically like herding cats. Between everyone’s busy schedules, it’s a miracle if the get-together ever makes it out of the group chat. And when people gather in real life, keeping everyone present and off their phones can be a challenge.

If you actually want to get people together — and keep them off their phones — try BeanBoozled® by Jelly Belly®.

It's not a board game. There's no trivia, no strategy, no learning curve. Just a wheel, a bunch of different flavoured jelly beans, and a 50/50 shot at accidentally eating something that tastes like Burnt Rubber.

The concept is simple: Spin the wheel, pick a jelly bean, and hope for the best. Each colour comes in two flavours — one delightful (like Juicy Pear) and one truly horrifying (Booger). You won't know which is which until it's already in your mouth.

Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it's a little gross. And yes, it's the perfect way to get back into the moment, especially when the moment involves someone realizing they've just eaten Rotten Egg.

With screen time climbing across Canada — Gen Z now averages 19 hours a week, and 13% of them are clocking over 40 — finding low-effort ways to unplug is more relevant than ever.

BeanBoozled® doesn't promise to fix your screen time, but it does offer a hilarious, low-stakes way to spend time with friends, family, or anyone you'd like to see mildly suffer for entertainment.

No apps. No logins. No Wi-Fi. Just one bad jelly bean decision away from becoming the main character in the group chat.

You can find BeanBoozled® at Walmart locations across Canada right now.
