Transcription
Hey, guys! It's Jazzy, and it's Totally Terrific Tuesday. And it's freestyle week on "SevenSuperGirls," and since the theme is freestyle, I decided to do a video that I wanted to do for quite a long time. And that is the Bean Boozled Challenge! And so basically, what the bean boozled challenge is is a challenge where you get a variety of jelly beans, and there's a good flavor and a bad flavor. And they both look the same, so you don't know if you're going to get the good flavor or the bean boozled flavor. So since there is a spinner, we are going to spin it, and whenever it lands on we will start there and go in order so we can try all of them. But I obviously can't do this challenge by myself, so I have two special guests. [DING] Jordan and Joshua are my two brothers. So we are going to have a point system. The point system is if you get a good jellybean, then you get one point. If you get a bad jellybean. But if you get a bad jellybean and you eat it, and chew it, and swallow it, then you get two points. And whoever gets the most point at the very end wins a prize. So, let's get started. [DINGING] [MUSIC PLAYING] JAZZY: I'm going to spin it. We're starting with berry blue or toothpaste. Three, two, one. I got toothpaste. I got toothpaste. I think I got berry blue. The toothpaste is like minty. It's good. Maybe I got toothpaste. I can't even tell. Next is barf or peach. Three, two, one. Oh, I got-- [SPITTING] I got peach. I got barf! I got barf. Ugh! [INAUDIBLE] It's bad, but I'll survive. Ew! Nasty. [INAUDIBLE] points. Next is canned dog food or chocolate pudding, which is a lose-lose for me because I don't like chocolate. I like rice. Three, two, one! Go! I got chocolate. Yup. I got dog food. [SPITTING] Oh, yeah. Dog food. Dog food. Jasmine, it's not even that bad. Yes, it is! Tastes kind of like chocolate. Like a really, really bad chocolate. Next is booger or juicy pear. Three, two, one, go! Booger. Booger. I'm-- I'm so done with this. JAZZY: I don't know. JOSHUA: I'm so done. You can tell it's booger when you-- [SPITTING] It's booger! It tastes like stale broccoli. Ugh! Nah! Are you a seal? --[SOUND EFFECT] I made a seal noise. Next is caramel corn or moldy cheese. OK, let's go. Three, two-- One, go! They went? [SPITTING] That's the worst one! Oh, my gosh! That is so bad. Why'd you-- the water's over here, Jasmine. Don't use the sink. I know it's not-- I know it's not the caramel corn. Oh, yeah. I got caramel corn. Never mind. JAZZY: I got moldy cheese! I'm pretty sure it's moldy cheese, or I just really hate caramel corn. Because either way, it tastes pretty bad. Yeah, I didn't really like that one. I got moldy cheese! Next is coconut or baby wipes. Three, two, one, go! I got baby wipes. Ah, that's what baby wipes taste like. It doesn't taste that bad. I don't know what I got. I can survive. I'm a man. It tastes so weird. It's like, you know what you smell of baby wipes. It's like in your account taste. It's-- ew, this is weird. I think I got coconut on that one. That's pretty good. I got two points because I actually swallowed a bad one. Next licorice or bug spray. So scared. (QUIETLY) Three, two, one, go. Oh, I got licorice for sure. Bug spray. Thanks a lot! I got licorice! Yes, yes, yes! This is so bad. I have yet to get one good one. I hope you guys are enjoying my suffering. Next is stinky socks or tutti frutti. Uno, dos, tres, go. Yes! Yes, I finally got one. Yes, tutti frutti! Ah, it's so gross! I had tutti frutti! Yes. How does it feel? That's terrible. Well, it doesn't taste like my gym locker, so I think that's tutti frutti. [INAUDIBLE] Why? It's so good. It's so good. Oh, Jasmine, it's so good! I'm Jasmine. I can't take it. Stop! Lawn clippings or lime is next. Three-- two, one, go. [INAUDIBLE]. I got lime! I got lawn clippings. It's not too bad though. JOSHUA: I can't taste it. Oh, now I taste it. There we go. That's lawn clippings. Yeah. The last one is rotten egg or butter popcorn. Three, two, one, go! [SPITTING] That's rotten egg! Oh, God! [RETCHING] [DING] [COUGHING] No, my water! My-- mine! Oh, God! That's mine! Mine! [GULPING LOUDLY] [BREATHING LOUDLY] JAZZY: I know present Joshua the winner with 12 brown eggs. And they're cage free. Congratulations, Joshua. What? OK, bye. Brave soul. And I want these. Thanks for watching my video this week on "SevenSuperGirls!" And for a chance to get a shoutout in next week's video, comment down below the grossest thing that you've ever tasted! And it could be anything. I'll see you guys next week, have a Totally Terrific Tuesday. Bye! So I'm going to spin it. Oh, my gosh! [MUSIC PLAYING]
