365 by Whole Foods MarketGummy Bears, 12 Ounce

I ordered these just to try and was pleasantly surprised. They are quite different than any other gummy bear candy I’ve tried and I really liked them. A totally different texture and taste but it was super enjoyable in my opinion. I didn’t think it tasted like medicine or cheap like other reviews. I think it just tasted different than what people would expect with regular gummy bears. If you view it as a different candy, maybe you’ll be able to appreciate it more.

Best tasting gummy bears

We took one bite and had to throw them out. They are not made of your normal gummy ingredients, the texture is more creamy and chalky than "gummy". We found the flavors tasted off. If you love Haribo these are not the substitute you are looking for! Luckily for us there were not many in the package and bad for us that there were not many in the package for what we paid.

If you're buying these as a bear-shaped fruit snack, like I as, these are great, some of my favorites, perfect flavor and texture as a fruit snack. I can see how someone shopping for "gummy bears" would be disappointed though.

The texture was not what I expected. It's like a really cheap gummy, but I'm a fan of it. It smells like gummy vitamins and cough syrup, but also floral. They're not too sweet and they taste pretty good. Whoever said the purple one doesn't taste good obviously lied. It's the light pink one that tastes like laundry detergent. It's worth it for the price, but I probably would prefer a popular brand that I know.

The texture is more like a children's fruit snack, which I wouldn't mind if the taste was okay, but the taste is not great at all. They taste like cough syrup, especially the red ones.

I was happy to see that 365 made a veg gummy bear! They are super-tasty and cute. They have more the consistency of a fruit snack, but more of a grown-up version. These would make a perfect Valentine's Day gift/snack, and love the purple ones that have a hint of a lavender taste. I will buy again! (Oh my 11-year old loves them too.)

I get that the 365 brand is healthier and that works for a lot of people. But if you're going to sell something as "gummy bears", you know what people are expecting, and it's not this. If you are avoiding or can't have the things in regular gummy bears, these are great. If you're just looking for gummy bears that use cleaner ingredients, this isn't it. The consistency and flavor are very weird
