The only good gummy candy brand I have ever tried is Haribo and even then, they need to be chilled in the freezer to make them firm.

Also, not sure if it's a hot take on something that doesn't matter anymore thanks to the current macha craze, but that stuff is absolutely the best when it's either the flavor of mochi or made straight into a strong, earthy tea and not mixed in another drink.

Haribo? Isn't that the same brand that gives you the runs?

Yeah, the sugar-free ones, and only if you eat more than a few. I can't remember exactly, but it had something to do with the artificial sweetener they use being toxic or something.

I'm not even sure they still produce them that way.

theres a brand by tru(something) that taste like natural fruits, and not gummy or sugary like the brand names.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I've seen them, but I might have to check that out if I ever see it in stores.

albanese, true to the fruit gummy bears.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Never mind then. I think it's because I'm so accustomed to whatever flavoring Haribo use, but I didn't like albanese no matter how many times I tried them.

They're decent but not for me.
