This product has flavors that complement each other, so there is no other tastes. Every time I have bought a bag it's been very fresh and not hard.

Very good

We bought this stuff for a treat on the road. We have food intolerances, including eggs, but saw no label in the posting. So we asked a question, what are the ingredients. One response, didn't say what the ingredients were. The seller didn't seem to answer.But, the listing called out allergen cross-contamination, which we can usually tolerate. "Items are repackaged in a facility that may contain milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat and all other allergens." This suggested to us eggs wouldn't also be an ingredient-- that is, why call out cross contamination from eggs in other products on the product listing, but not mention, eggs are also used in the product? Also, in our experience, most products like this don't have eggs. So, we took a chance and bought it.Mistake. The label (see attached photograph) says, product includes eggs as an ingredient after all.Makes us wonder, why doesn't Amazon require listings of food products to include ingredients? Labels of food sold in the US have this information. Well, this is the first time we bought food from Amazon without knowing ingredients, and got a cautionary experience, even if the listing seems to suggest, an ingredient wouldn't be included, don't count on it.Anyway, were a couple and only one of us has the egg sensitivity. So the other of us tried the candy. Very sweet, like combo sugar and corn syrup stuff usually is. Low flavor, less than other similar candy we've had. Definitely would not buy again in any event..

Exactly what I was looking for. Same flavors I remember as a kid. Used them to decorate the tops of my daughter’s cupcakes for her birthday party. Just sliced them in half to make thinner. The candy was fresh, soft and perfect.

These were just OK. They flavor didn't wow me. They are edible but I will most likely not buy this brand again.

I love the lemon slices. Why can’t one just order a bag of lemon slices? Instead they are always offered with some other flavor.

I was really happy they have great flavor, but then as I got further down in the bag, I found several slices had mold on them!
