[...] lemony, but without the pucker power of the cherry or the orange. I prefer the lemon flavor of the Giant Chewy SweeTart candies to these jelly [...]

Lemme give ya a little secret. You have to put them in your pocket for a little while (while they’re still in the bag, of course). Warming them up can turn them decidedly softer than what you experienced. No, they won’t turn into those godawful soft cookies that scare the bejeezus out of me. (What do they do to those cookies to keep them that soft? I don’t think I want to know.)

I’ve been a fan of these for years, and yes, I pay good cash money for them.

Hi, All:

Wow! A lot of responses. I had no idea so many people were so passionate about oversized sweetarts. I don’t think my package of giant sweetarts was old, either. I just think sweetarts were born to be crunchy, not chewy.

Chewy Sweettarts have been around for quite a while. Dan’s description completely matches how I would have described them. To me it sounds like he did not get old ones. I like them a lot – I just rarely actually buy them.

I don’t recall Sweetarts ever being chewy. This new variety
sounds totally wrong. Yuck.

I think you got an old package…

They are generally chewier… and don’t take that much effort to eat.

But I’m also concerned about your flavors… I am pretty sure that the green is Green Apple and the yellow is Banana…

**yikes**

I’m sure that was the reason I stopped really getting them… because I liked the lime and the lemon… as they are in the smaller SweeTARTS… but in the chewy ones, they’re not.

So if yours actually tasted citrus instead of apple and banana… then you may have eaten a fairly old package… but it’s candy… right? It’s not going to hurt you… ;o)

Yeah the giant chewy ones get a little dry, but they get worse as they are older and that sounds like what you got. They also have the bite size chewy orbs that give a more consistent chewiness.

And yes I buy SweetTarts in the roll, I have been eating those and Spree rolls since I was a kid. Before Halloween this year I bought the gigantic 100+ piece bag of assorted sweettarts and I about OD’ed and it was awesome. This year the bag had regular sweettarts in the smarties-roll format as well as halloween skeleton format, the tiny chewy ones, and sweettart taffy (which is delicious but only has one flavor).

Maybe those were old? I mean I didn’t even know they still made them.

I miss the Wacky Wafers..
