Super yummy products and different flavors of swedish fish. I like that they are gluten free and they have a really nice natural flavor of blackberry and elderberry too. It’s a bit pricey but every once in a while it is worth it! I first got them from world market but decided to get it off their website through the shop app :)

If you like the Swedish-style very lightly flavored, foamy, dense (these aren’t super squishy or fluffy) candies, then I would recommend these. Adding a little sourness in these would be amazing because, with the sugar coating, the flavor is generally too pastel sweet for me. I can tell the difference between the strawberry and blueberry (besides the color difference), and there is a little bit of flavor complexity as you chew it. This brand is a bit expensive, so knocking off a star for that. Knocking the other star off just because I want the flavors to be balanced a bit more (I suppose this is a personal preference though).

As far as peach gummy candy goes, I like the peach flavor (not too intense) and the coating is pretty fine compared to other brands. I’d prefer more sourness, but if you don’t like really sour candies, then you’ll probably be okay with this. The bite isn’t stretchy or super chewy, and it doesn’t get too stuck in my teeth which is nice. You can definitely tell they’re supposed to be a “fancier” gummy candy, even without looking at the packaging. These are good but not amazing enough for me to buy them again.

The texture is firm, almost waxy and the scent is strong, almost perfumey like those tiny slide top tinned strawberry lip glosses I used as a child in the eighties. However the flavor is hard to describe but dare I say I detect a note of fish? Despite being all natural they leave an oily synthetic fishy overly sugary strawberry flavor on the tongue. I’m wondering a batch of rancid coconut oil was used in manufacture. I am not one to ever throw out candy even when it’s questionable but yikes, these are truly disgusting. I bought these for a movie outing to share with a friend and her two teenaged daughters. I was the only one who went in for a second round for writing the review. The girls said they had seen them on Instagram. Go figure - overpriced well designed packaging with a crappy product inside. Overall these are an expensive waste of money. We would have been better off with a bag of Swedish swimmers from TJ’s.
