• "They simply tasted horrible with a real smell and taste of chemicals."
• "Unfortunately like many other reviews here, the bag smelled heavily of chemicals when I opened it."

Packaging

Pros:

• "To my surprise this seller double packaged it securely with a cold pack between."

• "I dump them into a big zip lock bag to maintain freshness."
• "I usually buy 3 or so 5lb bags at a time. They can set for many months in a sealed bag."
• "They keep their freshness for a very long time, too, as long as you keep the bag closed when not in use."
• "I only wish it was resealable but for now we use sandwich bags to keep it fresh."

Cons:

• "We opened the package immediately and what was inside was a large bag filled with molten multicolor gel."
• "They arrived basically melted into one giant puddle."
• "My only problem is the heat while it traveled here was too jot, so I ended up with one blob of gummy bears."
• "No precautions were taken to make sure they did not melt!"
• "Only issue that could be better and improve this product would be if the bag was resealable/ or had like a zip loc top to seal in the freshness."
• "This bag is not resealable."
• "Selling a 5 lb bag of anything edible and not making it resealable is a huge flaw."
