SOUR PATCH KIDS Message Hearts Valentines Day Candy, 13.01 oz

This candy offers good value for its price, especially for seasonal treats. The ingredients are typical for gummy candies, with sugar and flavorings that deliver a sweet and tangy taste. Freshness is usually consistent, with a soft and chewy texture that's enjoyable. The smell is fruity and slightly sour, matching the flavor profile. Availability is generally good around Valentine's season, though it may be limited at other times of the year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my kids who just love the sour patch kids. It's a cute little box, great to give out on valentine's day with cards for a classroom! They are very sour, but my kids really loved them! They are smaller pieces so better for little older children. They aren't super hard like a lot of the little hard candies are.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these and shared them with my four children, who are between the ages of 11 and 19. I had each of them try them and got positive feedback from all! Not chalky like normal message hearts. Cute messages and good flavors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SOUR PATCH KIDS Message Hearts Valentine Candy Hearts I received about a month ago and my Daughter absolutely loves them. She loves the writing on them. And she loves the taste. I tried them and they are really good not too sweet and not to sour. I will be buying these durning Valentine for my daughter Valentine Theme Party.

My 5 year old loves these! She thinks they are fun and taste good. They are the sour patch version of conversation hearts. Some of the flavors were odd and had a weird after taste. I probably won't buy them again but they were worth a try.

These have a horrible chemical taste to them. I usually love all candy but even I can't eat them. Total trash!

these taste like pine sol.

Yuck, they smell like the calcium lime cleaner.

These both smell AND taste like scrubbing bubbles toilet cleaner. Absolutely disappointing.

Like other reviewers mentioned, the smell and taste of these candies is very chemically. As I opened the bag, the first potent whiff reminded me of walking into an interstate rest stop bathroom that had just been cleaned. It also smells very much like Mean Green all purpose cleaner. The texture of the candies is thin, chalky and brittle. They taste exactly as they smell and, although there are several different colors, they all taste the same. There's no sense of fruitiness about them, just a nauseating citric acid flavor. The flavor is nothing like the flavor of sour patch kids gummy candies. I do love Sour Patch kids and sour candies in general, but I actually had to throw these away as they were so unappealing. I think it's worth noting that 99% of the positive reviews come from people who participated in a promotion. The majority of the authentic reviews warn against buying these.
