I’m a die hard fan of sour patch kids, but I have to agree with your writeup here, these sound a bit disappointing. :(

Maynard’s? Hmmm..thanks for that big o’ info…going to have to dig a bit deeper to see what’s up with the rather strange rebranding/marketing move.

Today I saw a display of gummy boogers, gummy squirting zits and some other vile thing that escapes me now..I felt sick just looking at the package…

The artwork on the packaging is fantastic! They look like so much fun!

If they aren’t really that sour, then why bother? i want really sour. like lick-a-lemon sour. i always think maynard’s wine gums are too firm and not flavorful enough. the blisters sound too much like the starburst ones. they were soooo sweet.

I’m guessing these are kind of like Gushers, which my charmingly misguided boyfriend has extraordinarily fond memories of, but I recall them as being little lumps of sickly sweet goo. Your analogy to the popped blister is perfect.

i_write – Well, I liked to eat some weird things as a kid, but Lemon Pledge thankfully wasn’t one of them, or I might not be here right now!

Robert – Yeah, I’m not sure what they were thinking. You should have seen the book results I got when I searched for them on Amazon (or maybe you shouldn’t have). I was too afraid to Google them, especially at work.

I’d love to try them. Next time I go to Canada to visit my sister… or next time she comes down for a holiday…

“Juicy Squirts,” hmm, I don’t know if they would choose them name in the US. I won’t go into that thought…. I’ll let you do that.

I love these actually! I like the mix of the sugar, the goo and the jelly. I also really dislike the cherry ones though, they should have left those out!

These actually don’t sound so bad. I like the “blister-like” design.

I saw these during my recent trip to Canada, and was very curious, but didn’t buy any. Now I’m kind of glad I didn’t.

I like Gushers, which sort of have that blister concept, but the scaly texture of these make it considerably more unappetizing.
