    * Absolutely brilliant. Super satisfying, great sweet flavor without weird aftertastes, and very hearty serving size for the calories/sugar. Best lower sugar candy brand out there (and I've tested so many).

    * I received a free bag of these with my first NETRITION purchase, and loved them. These taste super-sweet to me (a good thing!), so I eat only a few at a time. Still working on this bag. Will order again.

    * I loved the berry fish Smart Sweets that I had been buying at Whole Foods. Then I bought four packets at Target. The packets looked different and on the back the ingredients were different. They tasted awful. I contacted Smart Sweets through the website since there is no 800 number and no way to get hold of anybody. I included package photos and photos of barcodes etc. and expressed my concern about the way it tasted and that it looked like a knock off product. Smart Sweets responded with a boilerplate response. They did not address any if my concerns or offer to reimburse the $12 that I had spent on these four packets of candy that I bought at Target. Their customer service is horrible. It’s all well and good to have a good product; but if a customer has a bad experience and you don’t respond to their concerns. Then you lose a customer.

    Netrition's note: Due to a January 2020 ruling by the FDA that no longer allowed Isomalto-oligosaccharides from being allowed to be listed as a fiber, SmartSweets was forced to change the formula on all of their products. As of September 2020, after sufficient negative customer feedback, they are changing the formula for a third time in less than one year. Taste and texture of the newest formula is yet to be determined, as we expect that formula to replace all older inventory in late 2020.

    * ***WARNING TO DIABETICS*** Not only do these raise my blood sugar as high as if I'd eaten regular sugar-filled candy, but they actually raise my bs faster than regular candy.

    Sadly I wont be buying any because they are $3 for a tiny bag.

    * While I did review these the first time I ordered them (and gave full 5 stars), I've since discovered something that concerns me...they seem to be 'eating' into/away my fillings and my crown. They don't seem to affect natural enamel of the teeth but my fillings and crown are no longer smooth like they had been just before I started eating these. The gummy bears are the only thing different that has been added to my diet. Maybe it's the citric acid and/or malic acid. This is the ONLY reason I dropped one star. Otherwise, these are every bit as delicious to me as the real thing!!

    * Overall this is a great product for those looking to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. Or even better this would be great to take to the movies or for on the road snacking. I bought the sour gummies. For me they were too sweet, but I am guessing thats because I have cut real sugar almost completely out of my diet and even sugar substitutes are a little over bearing for me. I am a junk food junkie, so I might try the fruity ones next time.

    * I know there’s a lot of fussing about the size of the package but honestly it was not as bad as the prior reviews made it seem. I was thinking it would only contain a few bites but it was more of a single serving plus to me. At less than 100 calories, it was perfect for snacking. The flavor is great — nothing off about it in the least. You would not know that this was low calorie unless someone told you. My hubby (who is a gummy bear/sour patch kid eater) didn’t bat an eye eating them. And he is VERY PICKY. If you’re looking for a sensible sweet treat try these. I think they’re worth it and will be ordering again.

    * The product itself tastes pretty good and doesn't contain many carbs/any BS additives that'll make you feel sick. My only complaint is that you get VERY little of it for the price you pay. Seriously, the bag is already small and when you open it it's barely even a handful inside. I'm sure there are reasons for it being so pricey but come on, it's really disappointing to know I paid basically double + shipping for a bag way smaller than what you can find for typical gummy brands. I would only recommend this to people who are very desperate to snack on some gummies while on keto.

    * So I was really excited to get this because I was craving candy when on my lower carb diet. Well they aren’t bad tasting, a little chewy, but the package size is so tiny. I cannot believe the price for how many you get! I will probably just make my own for a lot less.

    * WINNER!! I had my misgivings about these being any good but, in my opinion, they are awesome!! VERY SIMILAR to the real thing in every way...taste, texture, mouth-feel. I would like them even more if they had flavors more to my own person liking such as cherry, strawberry, lime, and maybe pineapple. I will definitely be buying more! Best sugar-free candy I've tried so far. I have only tried the Fruity variety, not the Sour.
