When comparing snickers to cow tales, Snickers have close to 300 calories while cow tales have 100. Looking at fat, snickers have 11 grams, cow tales have 1 gram (and 0 grams saturated fat. Also, 28 grams of sugar versus 11 grams in cow tales. You must think about it thoroughly before giving a recommendation on what to eat. Cow Tales are a better choice if looking for a sweet treat.

I believe there is another new flavor too, something dealing with cherry. These flavors may not be new to some people, but where I live it is :) I just had a Cow Tale for the first time last week, but it was one of the new flavors, strawberry.

Well, yeah, I love 'em, always have, though I'm not a fan of the flavored ones other than chocolate. The apple kind taste too chemical-like and the straweberry, well, let's just leave strawberry flavors to the fruit professionals, shall we, and sorry, Goetze, but that's not you guys with this candy! But yeah, I'm a Caramel Cream (now called Bullseyes? Eh.) fan and that includes Cow Tales. 'Sides, they're fun to eat in the long, chewy, rope format! I will give this up, though: the dry caramel does separate from the cream and I wish it didn't. But I still love these! :D Ah, the battle rages amongst the commenters…to love Cow Tales or hate them?

So sweet and chewy, except for the rare times you get one that's kinda stale. I've only had the Caramel Apple ones once and they were sooo good, and when I went back to that store to get more they were all sold out. My heart, she was broken.

Admittedly though the vanilla ones are nowhere near as good as the caramel apple ones. I always order a few of those from cybercandy whenever i go there. I love these!

Marcella is right, this shit is NASTY. I tried one on a trip to Massachusetts last summer and holy god. Chalky, funky, wheaty and gross. I don't like Bulls-eyes either - whoa!! COW tales? BULLS eyes? What is with the bizarre animal part eating? What's next, Calf Bladders? What really gets me is how the "cream" separates from the caramel completely, kind of like it's repelled by or from it, and has that utterly non-cream-like floured thickness to it. I don't understand why they would do this. Nuh UH. Marcella is right, this shit is NASTY. I tried one on a trip to Massachusetts last summer and holy god. Chalky, funky, wheaty and gross.

When I was in high school, we sold candy to go on two different trips: Oceanography trip to the beach and Interdisciplinary Honors trip, to... the beach! I sold the most candy! We had to sale airheads (which I hate) and COWTALES. I had never tried them before, and after that first bite, I was hooked. I probably bought the most from my own bag. I love the original flavor. The new flavors are horrible though - strawberry & cream, chocolate, and the new caramel apple. Cow Tales have a special place in my heart.
