Reviews of Sunkist Fruit Gems Box - 14 oz

Comments:

I was expecting this to come from Fairfield, CA which is near us and was a bit disappointed that it came from the east coast

As a diabetic sweets are a very rare treat. Sunkist fruit gems have been my absolute favorite since childhood. I just love them...I hadnt seen them in the store for a while and just bought a small package at HyVee where they finally restocked. The grapefuit is my favorite flavor, and I glad it is still a flavor, but the changes in flavors make the treat no longer something I will have to worry about being tempted with. The package had lots of blueberry, which I didnt care for. So the the new flavors will make it easier for me to resist, but I am sure that was not what you were aiming for.

mix was very heavy with rasberry and orange. not enough grapefruit.

There is nothing great about it. So disappointe with it. My daughter always buys me a box for my birthday. Now I will have to tell her not to buy anymore. I don't like Jelly Belly jelly beans either.

Comments:

great improved flavors price on line was $3.00 higher than the store I get them from.

To be fair, these have included corn syrup since the first time I tasted them at my Grandma's, who loved them. But since JB purports all natural flavors and gourmet tendencies, why not create a cane-sugar-only line? Just like all others, JB products proliferate where once there was only one format (the jelly bean). Citrus (duh, the sunkist part) predominated and these were the best candies outside of jellybellys you could buy in a grocery store. Now they are nearly impossible to find, riddled with blueberry and raspberry, and lack the lime (which, I admit, I never liked, but which also went with the lemon, orange and grapefruit far more harmoniously). Always looked like little wrapped pieces of Florida in the bowl. Sad what market research will twist consumers' feedback into as product change directives.

What happened to the lime flavor, the best you had beside pink grapefruit?

Comments:

They changed the flavors...no more white or greens...and the change in recipe has created a vastly inferior product. If Jelly Belly were smart they would go back to a tried and true product. You had faithful buyers and have provided them with these tasteless wads of goo.

Big mistake going 'all natural'. The new flavors are terrible. I have been eating Fruit Gems for a long time. I bought a pack, ate one watching TV and noticed a bad taste. I looked at the pack and all the colors were wrong. Necco Wafers made the same mistake three years ago. I stopped buying. Now the original flavors are back. Gonna happen with Fruit Gems too or you will see sales evaporate.

I am a fan. I love the tangy sweet natural flavors. It reminds me of Europe and the great confectionary you would buy at high-end delicatessen store.
