![]() "Harry, who hadn't had any breakfast, leapt to his feet, but Ron's ears went pink again and he muttered that he'd brought sandwiches. Harry went out into the corridor. He had never had money for candy with the Dursleys, and now that his pockets rattled with gold and silver he was ready to buy as many Mars bars as he could carry--but the woman didn't have Mars bars. What she did have were Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice Wands, and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life. Not wanting to miss anything, he got some of everything and paid the woman eleven silver Sickles and seven bronze Knuts. You want to be careful with those," Ron warned Harry. "When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor--you know, you get all the ordinary ones like chocolate and peppermint and marmalade, but then you can get spinach, liver and tripe. George reckons he had a booger-flavored one once." They had a good time eating the Every Flavor Beans. Harry got toast, coconut, baked beans, strawberry, curry, grass, coffee, sardine, and was even brave enough to nibble the end off a funny gray one Ron wouldn't touch, which turned out to be pepper". (page 101-104 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)
