Bertie Botts big mistake.
Bertie Botts every flavor beans, a risk with every mouthful, but just how much of a risk? Miss Bertie Bott, 76 years old and currently living in Biggelsworth, Ireland, was hauled up in front of the department of magical food safety and regulations for the ministry of magic today, charged with lack of consumer information and care.
After an uncomfortable 3 hours of questioning, the head of the magical food safety and regulations department, Eltrevis Hummenwaith, finned Miss Bott 20 galleons, along with the heavty 25 galleons she was sued by the parents of Pavati Patil. Miss Patil, has an allergic reaction, an allergy, to nuts and most unluckily came across a peanut flavored bean yesterday, which resulted in a life threatening situation which according to Mrs. Patil 'wouldn't of happened if there had been warning of such things on the packaging'. As the Patil family emerged from the ministry, Mrs. Patil told our reporters that she 'would also like to add that a lot of the wizarding public is unaware of the fact that the actual product is used in the flavoring', much to the amazement of the crowd.
"Miss Bott should list on each box of her beans exactly what flavor each bean is," said an angry and frustrated Mr. Patil "At least the ingredients"
But in defense to Mr. Patils statement, Mrs. Botts solicitor argued on behalf of the slightly eccentric old women 'That the whole point of not telling them what flavor bean they are eating is because it adds to the excitement and fun of them trying to guess by the colour, smell and texture of the bean what flavor they are tasting.'
After paying up what was owed, Miss Bott returned to her small cottage in Biggelsworth to escape press attention. Weather this will affect the sales of her product, Miss Bott seams unaffected.
