Product Quality

Pros:

  • "They're soft, chewy - and absolutely delicious, in a guilty-pleasure sort of way."
  • "One of my favorite candies as a kid and still tastes great for a rare treat. All of the flavors are good, but I absolutely LOVE the grape and green apple!"
  • "These are literally the best gummies on the planet."
  • "This was sweet and tart. I enjoy gummies and this was definitely good."
  • "These are better than the original Sweetarts from my childhood. NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, the box says. Flavor is great. You will binge."
  • "This candy simply has a great taste to it and lasts quite a long while."
  • "They taste great, and they are perfect for student prizes!"

Cons:

  • "The product itself however is dark and crumbly and hard around the edges. It tastes wrong like it's old."
  • "The candy stuck to the wrapper and was harder than it should have been... now the price jumped up to $32.14."
  • "However, about 60% of my packets were literally in small pieces."
  • "I was really looking forward to trying these as I have been craving them, but upon receiving the candy boxes and tasting them, they all were rather stale."
  • "The product was within the expiration date, however; all the candy is rock hard."
  • "Very disappointed. Although the Expiration Date on the box is June 2017, these are stale, hard, and brittle."
  • "These aren’t the Chewy Sweet Tarts you remember from your childhood. They are hard as a rock and much smaller."

Packaging and Shipping

Pros:

  • "The box I received was well packaged and undamaged."
  • "This product arrived quickly and was exactly what I was expecting."
  • "I was impressed by the fast shipping and delivery by Amazon.com."
  • "Came on time and packaging was fine."
  • "They came packaged like they would be at the gas station and the entire package was wrapped in clear plastic."
  • "The package was in good condition."
  • "Can’t find these very often where we live, so it was nice to find them here. Great taste and was delivered in a timely manner."

Cons:

  • "I signed up for automatic reshipment but I might cancel because I don't know whether they'll send me the same stale product I received this time."
  • "The only problem I have EVER had with this candy, was (I believe) due to the delivery truck."
  • "I bought these for a friend. She said these are way harder than she is used to. Also box was weird. Top missing. Just wrapped in was looks like 3rd party cellophane."
  • "The first box had mis-shapen pieces... Turns out all the boxes in the case are like this."
  • "The only negative was that the candy wasn’t packaged in a sealed box as it usually is."
  • "Wide open box sent in plastic envelope that had a tare in it as well."
  • "When I opened the Amazon box, it had these little sweet tarts opened and all over the inside of the box."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The fact that you get 10 boxes makes these a great deal too."
  • "Grabbed a case of these last week during a flash sale, a case of 10 5oz boxes = 3.125 LBS of Sweet Tarts for $5.65!"
  • "Definitely a better value than buying from local stores/gas stations/markets."
  • "I love the subscription order which is cheaper for me compared to the store prices purchasing individual rolls."
  • "These are so much more fresh than the stuff you get in the stores."
  • "The Amazon price was cheaper than buying them individually at the store!"
  • "With this pack of 36, if it is less than 54 dollars with shipping then you are doing better than gas-station prices."

Cons:

  • "I would have ordered again but the price went from $10 to $21. That’s way too expensive."
  • "Love the candy and all the flavors but you cant afford to gift this great product of old school candy, because it priced too high!!!"
  • "It might have been an order error or incorrect product description but my order came in as one 5oz box when the description states a quantity of ten 5oz boxes."
  • "Not worth the money! When you open it looks old and is very hard. Not chewey!!"
  • "I thought the price was high but I love the candy so I paid it."
  • "Original order was for a box of 10 five ounce boxes. Only a single five ounce box was delivered. Where are other nine boxes?"
  • "Was getting a package of 10, 5oz boxes for $7.50. Now they've gone up to $13.99 for the same item."
