The texture of these candies is OK--maybe a little softer than ideal for gummies, but not a dealbreaker. It's the flavors that are the problem. There are three colors, and three flavors. The flavors are not identified anywhere on the package, but I think they are cherry (red), vanilla (pink), and coconut (white). And they're just not very good. The vanilla in particular seemed harsh and artificial. Nina didn't agree that the white ones tasted like coconut, but she couldn't figure out what else the flavor might be--which is not a good sign.
Will I buy it again?
No. This went back to the store for a refund, where the clerk quietly admitted to me that he hadn't liked them, either.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I should have checked that.
DeleteAgreed. The pink ones were very artificial-tasting...almost perfume-y. The red ones were chalky-tasting. I liked the white ones, but not enough to finish the package. I got a refund too.
ReplyDeleteTotally disappointing since the scandanavian swimmers are so tasty. And these are kosher/vegan, no questionable sources of gelatin or artificial colors. Cute concept but i’m all about function and design so i’ll keep walking by them and towards those tasty mini heart cookies!
