Well...let’s just say I found out. TMI below: Fun fact: Too many black jelly beans can cause your poo to turn a weird shade of green. |

black jelly beans are for the trash can.
we went to a redneck wedding once where the cake had black frosting. I don't like a lot of frosting so I scrapped mine off, everyone else reported bright green poop the next day.

  That makes sense. Funny! I remember when my son was little, still in nappies (diapers) and he ate a bowl of green bubblegum ice cream. Mmmmm, that was a nice nappy to change! ETA: I LOVE black jelly beans. I usually buy a pack of coloured ones for DS and a pack of black only for me.

I love me some black jelly beans. And any black licorice. Your post reminded me that my daughter recently told me that aversion to black licorice is "in people's DNA." I looked at her funny, wondered if her college education had been worth the investment, and snorted. I just googled. Maybe not DNA, but interesting. |

Fun fact - too many can cause a dangerous decrease in potassium levels.

Fun fact - too many can cause a dangerous decrease in potassium levels. Really? Just the black ones or all jelly beans? What’s the chemistry behind that? (I always knew they were evil.) |

Haters. All of you. you can just send all of your black jelly beans to me.... I would, but my BIL claimed all future black jelly beans when he learned that I would routinely go through those giant Costco jugs of Jelly Bellies, pick out the black ones and THROW THEM AWAY.  When I told him that he said, “NOOOOO!!!” |

Fun fact - too many can cause a dangerous decrease in potassium levels. Really? Just the black ones or all jelly beans? What’s the chemistry behind that? (I always knew they were evil.) It's the glycyrrhizinic acid in the black ones - or even licorice in general. They suggest going easy on them if there are heart or stroke issues because of the link between potassium and hypertension. |

I don't like a lot of frosting so I scrapped mine off, everyone else reported bright green poop the next day. Remember a while back when Burger King was serving that burger with the black bun? Apparently that caused the same after effect! |

Black jelly beans are delicious.
However, the black chuckle is only the second best. (Orange jellies are the best.)

Luckily, this is just an Easter season treat for me. I’ll limit myself to just a few at a time until the bag is gone. (yes—I bought a whole bag). |

But I love it! We used to be able to get black licorice ice-cream when I was a kid (think Tiger Tail, only without the orange). I swear it turned our lips black for days but it was so worth it. |
