Which is hilarious since I started the review saying “I always kinda liked them.” But now? Eh. The newer version is just as tart but it doesn’t start as chalky and fall-apart like the original. The sour/tart always forefront of course. Years ago these were more chalky, almost like a Razzle, and then they would come together while you were eating and become really chewy. They’re good too, but honestly they used to be better. Get em – you can pop 10 in your mouth at one time and over indulge wonderfully. They felt like an old friend only I’m not actually sure if there are other candies like this. Again, flavors aren’t the main plot line. Small, a rounder & slightly bigger tart n tiny-like puppy, these are much more sour and chewy. I should have started this review with these little ones: And because they are just enough like Laffy Taff, that I don’t care for, I put these at the bottom of the pile. They are more tart than Laffy Taffy, which is good, but I can’t give them more than an “ok”. These look like Laffy Taffy (Nestle makes those too by the way) and kinda taste like them too, though as far as I can tell there’s only one flavor (at least the 3 I tried were all red). I’d like to see them aged, with more chew. They have a soft filling, surprisingly not gross. Still, they are more tart than any other red-ropes-like candy. The flavor is more defined cherry than the other SweeTARTS red colored candies have. These are rebranded from Kazoozles, which Jonny (also) liked oh so many years ago. Starting with the Soft & Chewy ropes, which I started by not liking then changed to really liking. (I’m talking about the actual SweeTARTS on the bottom of the package picture above.) They are an OG sour candy and there’s nothing ‘tart’ about them, unlike other candies that call themselves such. Jonny said “you should do a Sweetarts throwdown” and thus this post was born. I had no idea how many there were of them. So I met a good guy who works for a company that I work with too in my other life and this guy also works with Nestle and Nestle makes Sweetarts so he sent me some. I’m like that guy on TV who tells you Jesus loves you only I’m the Jesus. What I do is stare and consider, taste and pucker, suck and chew, and swallow all those calories and fat because I love you. See, what I do is try every freaking possible Sweetart form factor so you don’t need to rot your teeth finding the one you might like best.
