HARIBO Gummi Candy, Happy-Cola, Bulk 5 lb. Bag

NOTE: I ORDERED THESE TWICE..... ONE WAS GREAT ONE WAS NOT.... so I want people to be aware of both.....(My original review 1 star, my follow up is 5 stars):###################################################New Review###################################################I added pictures this time. Amazon refunded me for the last order. This time i received the actual product in its original packaging labeled as you would see in a store.The package was sturdy and it arrived intact and high quality.The candy is fresh, its soft, its gummy, its exactly what you would expect. It tastes perfect.I couldn't be happier!!!!!!###################################################ORIGINAL REVIEW:###################################################So this is going to be an interesting review, I'm giving a 1 Star because I have to, but if they made one correction, it would deserve 5 stars.What I received what EXACTLY what's pictured: "a clear plastic plastic with a label"The clear plastic bag is extremely thin and brittle. I think they had some bad manufacturing issues. When I opened my Amazon packing box, this bag was inside, wrapped loosely in Amazon paper.The reason for the low score is because the manufacturers packaging was so thin, so brittle, that the bag itself tore in shipping.So my package was already open. :(The gummies were very soft, just like they should be! But I couldn't eat them for food safety reasons alone.Note: when I picked up the bag, I picked it up by the unopened & untorn part, and the weight of the 5lb bag just tore the packaging again!The candies were perfect! Exactly what you'd expect! The manufacturer packaging however, was too flimsy to protect it

The gummy cola bottle candies are very fresh, not hard or dried out. They really taste like cola... just without the bubbles. The size and shape are perfect for holding in the cheek area to melt slowly and smoothly in the mouth, or if you feel your fillings are safe, just bite right into it. I don't think there is any caffeine in these things. Far as I know, there aren't any sugar-free versions of these candies. Darn. They probably wouldn't taste this perfect, either. I recommend these gummy cola bottles for anyone who likes the cola flavor and the softly resistant gummy texture.Excellent deal for the cost, too!

I've ordered this product several times from here. Product is always fresh, delicious & delivered as listed. I had a very tiny hiccup w another product from another company who shipped in same box that caused an incident.This SELLER had rectified it & had a replacement at my door before the sun came up in less than 10 hours notice of my question. I applaud their commitment to their customers & will continue to order products only from this seller. Freshness, Taste, Price Value & most importantly was how they valued me as their customer!!An absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommended for sure!

Good and yummy

I loved this, I needed it for an event as a gift and couldn't find it in nearby stores so I decided to order it and I tried one, it was good and not exposed to air. the size was great, and sugar content wasn't high. very addictive to eat and not so hard. i actually thought it would come melted since the meltabilty rate is a bit high. but I was wrong and I was happy. this could be gifted to someone you love.

The taste and freshness was great, the only thing is they definitely do not look like hearts.

Great cola taste

got it for a friend for their birthday as they kept buying smaller packs and they loved it! came as expected and were fresh when opened
