SmartSweets Cola Gummies

These are a perfect alternative candy for those trying to reduce their sugar intake. Soft and chewy the way gummy candy should be.

Really unique and outstanding. Soft and chewy, legit cola flavor, and eating a bag doesn't "biff" my stomach like some sugar-free sweets do.

They changed the way these puppies were made. They used to be a half and half but now the flavors are separate and definitely taste different and the texture is a bit chewier. If they weren’t so “healthy” I’d probably buy something else but there’s nothing close on the market as of me writing this review. Value used to be better but what cha gonna do.

I love these, but the recent price hike has put them past my cost tolerance.

Not too sweet, and still nice and sweet, slightly sticks to teeth but mostly melts away after a couple mins, doesnt bother me, all candy sticks to ur teeth .. duh, great stuff i like the healthier type stuff and these candy doesnt make me feel bad like others so i like it, way cheaper to buy 12 pack on sale than to get 2 for 7 bucks at sprouts

I figured the bad reviews were overly harsh and I have a lot of nostalgia for the original cola gummies so I thought I would give these a try. I've enjoyed other candy from this brand before. However, once I tried these I knew exactly what the other reviewers meant - the flavor is "off" and tastes overly cinnamon-y or almost perfume-y in an unpleasant way? I prefer my candy less sweet so that wasn't the issue, these just taste insane, like the mangled product of chemical engineering, and miss the mark as far as approximating the original cola gummies. If I had to describe the flavor in one word, it would be: unnatural? I got about five pieces in and literally couldn't bring myself to eat anymore (not even absentmindedly) because the flavor was just so off-putting. I kid you not, later that evening, I experienced abdominal pain, completely out of the norm. I read that this type of sugar can cause side effects in some people and I guess I'm one of them. Really glad I didn't eat the whole bag (frankly it would have been a chore;) I threw the entire case in the garbage. I didn't even want to offer these to someone else because it would honestly feel like an insult ("here, I hate how these taste and they gave me abdominal pain, but maybe you'll like them!")

I am doing a low carb/Keto way of eating and wanted to find a treat that I could enjoy once in a while. At the same time, I really wanted to prove to myself that there is no alternative to bad, unhealthy, sugary treats. I enjoy gummy candies. Really miss the old traditional formula of Black Forest gummies! They were my favorite in the 80's....now with their new "fruit juice" formula it has become just plain bad. Good thing I pretty much quit sugar. Anyway, I really like gummy cola bottles and well, what do you know, I found these. I wanted to just not care for treats anymore, so thought I'd give it a try. Big mistake! They are pretty darn good let me tell ya. They have a nice cola flavor. Does not taste artificial to me. I even enjoy the super sticky feel of it on the teeth...lol yeah, its good. So here I am writing this after making my 3rd order of these gummy cola bottles. Did the 6 originally, but now ordering the 12 packs. Enjoy. <3

What can I say? A tasty guilt free treat!
