Nosebleed Nougat is a type of sweet made by Fred and George Weasley for their Skiving Snackbox products. The sweet is designed to make the eater's nose bleed heavily within seconds of eating it. Eating the orange sweet would cause the nosebleed, while the purple sweet would stop it.
During one Gryffindor Quidditch practice in 1995, Katie Bell got a nose bleed when playing and Fred gave her what he thought was the cure to stop a nose bleed. However, he ended up giving her the orange sweet which made it worse. Fred and George had to take her to the Hospital wing and the practice was canceled. Later that year, while the twins were still at school, this is one of the many Skiving Snackbox sweet variety they have sold and tested on students, and they were used to allow students to skip classes, but mainly as part of the Umbridge-itis disease to annoy the tyrannical Dolores Umbridge.
While infiltrating the Ministry of Magic to find one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Harry, Ron, and Hermione give Albert Runcorn Nosebleed Nougat so Harry can impersonate him using Polyjuice Potion.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Fred once incorrectly called the sweet a Blood Blisterpod, but it may have been a mix-up of the sweets.
- Nosebleed Nougat is the most popular of the Skiving Snackboxes.
