January 11, 2021Reviewer: Jessica in Ohio* 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).

October 23, 2020Reviewer: Linda in Pennsylvania* 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.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity

September 21, 2020Reviewer: A guest* 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.

December 09, 2019Reviewer: Ken in Virginia* These are great, if you have money to burn. I enjoyed the sample Netrition included in my shipment and ate the entire bag at once.
Sadly I wont be buying any because they are $3 for a tiny bag.

September 24, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee* What is there to say about SmartSweets...GET YOU SOME!!!...NOW!!! fish and gummy bears rock to take to the movies!! If you like "sour" candy...they have that too.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
July 25, 2019Reviewer: Deborah in Oregon* 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!!This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity

June 29, 2019Reviewer: Valerie in Connecticut* I’m diabetic so I avoid sugar like the plague. But I grew up with a penny candy store in walking distance. I miss those sweet candy treats. Finding these is like going back to my childhood.
-
June 26, 2019Reviewer: Carol in Missouri* Very tasty and well made product but your price point is too high. I would buy more often if the price was more reasonable.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity

-
May 06, 2019Reviewer: Hayley in Illinois* Love the sour kids! May be even better than the real sugar counterpart. The regular gummy bears were great too. They have a very pleasant texture and a lot of flavor.
-
May 01, 2019Reviewer: JEAN in Georgia* OMG, delicious! Tastes just like real gummy bears, for a fraction of the calories. And I didn't experience any digestive problems, like I sometimes do with diet sweets. I just ordered another dozen bags.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
April 23, 2019Reviewer: Dawne in California* These are the perfect replacement for the regular gummies full of carbs and sugar. I like the fruity flavor and texture is spot on for those on keto/ low carb diets!This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
April 10, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Texas* I love these! They are a great flavor and lots of fiber. I will keep all the flavors in stock at my home for sure!

March 07, 2019Reviewer: Susan in Virginia* I love gummies and these are amazing!This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
March 05, 2019Reviewer: Heather in Ohio* 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.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Sour

February 13, 2019Reviewer: Grace in Florida* 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.

January 25, 2019Reviewer: Joan in Pennsylvania* Sometimes you just need to taste something sweet and chewy even though you are restricting sugar and carbs. These taste great and have low carbs and little sugar.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
January 20, 2019Reviewer: Johnathan in Ohio* Great low carb alternativeThis review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
-
January 16, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Georgia* 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.

January 08, 2019Reviewer: Carol in New York* These are really good and don't upset the stomach like so many other sugar-free candies.
-
January 08, 2019Reviewer: Megan in Maryland* These were a little on the stale side. But a great sweet treat. They were very pricey for a couple of gummies in the bag. I'm going to try and make my own. I would order again though.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity

-
October 03, 2018Reviewer: MISTY in Oklahoma* The fruity are perfect. The sour are the best I've come across. They both have an aftertaste just like diet soda, but they are the best I've found.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Sour

September 20, 2018Reviewer: Patricia in Pennsylvania* These were sooo good that I’m back for more! They’re a good texture and very fruity and no aftertaste. I’m going to try the fish this time.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 21, 2018Reviewer: Cassie in Texas* 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.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 27, 2018Reviewer: Deborah in Oregon* 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.This review is specific to Gummy Bears, Fruity
