Has anyone tried the Dragonball Z Senzu Bean candy?

If so, how do they taste. And is it worth buying as a collection item?
"Goku's power level is 20,567 and doubles when he turns SSJ. Vegeta's power level is 18,890 and also doubles when he turns SSJ. What is the difference of their power level if they both fight in their SSJ forms?"

I ate those back in the day. If they're from back when I had them, I would recommend eating candy that is a bit more fresh. Anyway, they were just jelly beans, and generic ones at that. The Spirit Bomb candy (nope, not joking) was actually very good, though.

Do you think it would make a good collection item?

An unopened box? Sure. I kinda wish I still had one. Where are you seeing these Senzu Beans, anyway?

I don't trust movie/tv inspired jelly beans after Harry Potter

Don't worry. No vomit sensu in these boxes. Like I said, though, they've very generic. If you actually want to eat jelly beans, just buy a Jelly Belly variety box or something.

.... If the box wasn't so desperately ugly I'd say go ahead and collect them. But shit, that is one unholy ugly box. It looks like they just threw a bunch of pictures at Photoshop and tacked them together in the worst possible color combinations.

I've never had the beans, but I've tried the genki-dama candy before and blegh is it awful. @_@

The coating was ok if I recall, but the insides were all gooey and sour. >_<

I'm convinced me and my brother were the only people in the world who though Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans were delicious.

I was going to buy a few boxes for me and my friend but the postage came to as much as the items, thus doubling the cost. For two boxes of the sweets it would have cost almot £10, or about $17.

I saw those in Forbidden Planet the other day. I was going to buy it but I didn't have any money with me. Wonder what it tastes like?
