Alas, earwax

Apparently, when the makers of the earwax flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans (courtesy of Ms Rowling) went to formulate the flavoring, they started by tasting some actual earwax. And supposedly, it wasn't awful enough. So the guy on charge sent the flavor tech out to get a big supply of Worcestershire sauce and bitters with instructions to amp it up a lot.

So, accordingly, there're now thousands of kids who think that earwax tastes like Worcestershire sauce, and/or vice versa.
