Man oh man is Trolli prolific. I can’t turn around in my local Rite-Aid without hitting a brand new (to me) Trolli gummy bag. Good for them. Good for us too.
Sometimes.
Not this times.
The Trolli Sour Gummy Crunchers are not very good. There are only 4 basic flavors – grape, lemon, lime, and strawberry – which are as pedestrian in taste as it is to write that. I appreciate the fake grape (I always do) but the others are just plain ordinary. The sour starts straight in, and it’s a real sour like warheads, I’ll grant Trolli that, but the sour fades after 15 seconds of sucking. So then you become compelled to bite into them, and when you do, the experience is disappointing. Sure, they’re crunchy – just like the package says. But what hard candy isn’t crunchy?
The gummy in the middle was another barrier to enjoyment.
When I bit into this thing, my mouth expected something interesting to happen: maybe a swath of new sour or a deeper flavor profile would flood in. But uh uh. All I got was a skimpy gummy, kinda sticky with no discernible flavor.
It’s one thing if Trolli was going to do a super great hard candy sour and then put a super great flavorful, and tough, gummy in the middle — 2 great tastes that could taste great together. But no, they made a run-o-the-mill hard candy and threw in a forgettable gummy, to be cute. Or maybe it was to be “weirdly awesome,” which is how they describe their candy on their site. But it wasn’t either of those things.
Leave these ones on the shelf.
It was good me, just needed more sour flavor. That would have made a world of difference.
While they aren’t your typical gummy candy, I found that the extreme tart grape one ended up being the best. And we started playing practical jokester on each other to see who could eat it and last the longest. Negative reviews aside, the grape one is fun to eat cause it’s beyond sour. Wish I could still find them.
This candy is TRASH. IF YOU HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF EATING THIS TRUE PIECE OF GARBAGE, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR SOUL.
Amen
Idk, I thought the grape one was pretty good. Gonna try out the lime one now, I’ll tell ya how it goes.
Oh my god, I’ve never been able to call a candy objectively bad before today. People, for the love of god, please… put your money somewhere else.
THANK you
Not gonna lie, I really liked the grape. I would not usually buy hard candy but I might buy these just for the occasional grape
I forgot
I did not like what happened in my mouth
That’s what she said ! OH BOOOM
just found a few of these in my office… ate one. thought it was a gum ball. shocking realization. it wasn’t. wasnt very good as gum. wasnt very good as candy, either. no sourness, barely none. unlike you chumps, i didn’t have to pay for this GARBAGE. so basically, i’m gonna eat the nerds in my office next time instead, basically. those are grape flavored. i am an english teacher.
good day
I was going to write a detailed review for this product, but then realized I would need to eat another first. #nevermind
I completely agree. I was expecting more of a reese’s pieces or peanut m&m crunch…. not a godstopper…. with a bland…. piece of gummy? All it’s doing is making the hard pieces harder to stay off my teeth. >_< Don't likeyy
Totally
i agree because i was kinda hoping for that sour tast but all i got was a mouth full of nothingness it was like my mouth had no tast for candy at all
