A few weeks ago we wrote about the announcement of new Now and Later Soft and now (a little later) we have the review. I’ll be honest - I have never really liked Now and Laters (or Laffy Taffy for that matter). I’m not sure why really - maybe it was because they were so hard. I certainly liked the flavors.
The new Soft version of Now and Laters aren’t nearly as soft as I was expecting - I was expecting something like soft bubble gum (like Bubble Yum or Hubba Bubba). The new Soft version is definitely softer though, but since I wasn’t a true fan of Now and Laters, I took them into work to get the opinions of others who did like Now and Laters.
I took a big jug as seen above into work to share with my co-workers. The general consensus was that these are much softer than the original and every bit as tasty and everyone immediately preferred these to the original. “They won’t pull your fillings out like the original would” said one co-worker.
So, a big thumbs up for Now and Later Soft - if you liked the original, you’ll love these. Even I liked them so I guess it was the hardness of the original that kept me away. They still aren’t my favorite candy, but the Soft version is much more enjoyable and easier on the dental work.

Oh that’s funny! Capitalizing on the fact that so many of the those who remember this penny candy are all getting old.
