@mandirose@mypiesarepiff Strawberry-ish-maybe. There’s a comment below that says they’re “funky”, whatever that means. If there was significant presence of strawberry nature, I would have expected it to be mentioned.
From the top one-star review on the 'zon:
Sand. They are not a smooth, chewy gummy. The are gritty to the extreme. Texture is important to me when I eat. Flavor, yes, but mouth feel is right up there. Also found the flavor just odd. No strawberry hit my pallet but the mushroom did so it had a somewhat yeasty, almost bread moldy smell/taste to me. Obviously many people really like them. I wanted to like them too. After the first one I knew I couldn’t chew them. Maybe take as a pill? Just swallow? Too big for that so I cut it up to try to get it down. No go. like taking too many pills.
@mandirose@mypiesarepiff
There is a lot of strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, acsai, cherry, and cranberry powder in there (heck there’s a bit of apple, pomegranate, and mangosteen), but less so than kale & shiitake mushroom.
Uhhh, these people know what a “placebo” is, right? 40.1% vitamin c which was 2.7 x the placebo means their product provided 2.7 times the vit c than nothing. That’s not really something to brag about.
@jmrobinett@MarcNBarrett@poids It’s possible that they added the warning to avoid the need to pay for testing of the product. California regulations can have that result. They’re often designed to poorly address a problem by requiring the involvement of a testing or remediation method that’s very profitable for somebody with the right connections. My oldest brother, whose degree was in metallurgy and who spent a lot of his career in engineering oversight, used to rail against “profit over problem-solving” stuff.
Hi friends. If you, or someone in your life, takes GLP-1s these are tremendous in assisting in “keeping things moving” as one says. Very good price but man they taste funky.
I’m not an influencer, but I do use these and like them. Good for a healthy after work snack when you want to snack on something not as healthy. Also,this is a crazy good price for the product. They have okay coupons online and Costco does put them on sale every 4 months or so.
@dewaynelawson I like these too, this is the best price I’ve ever seen. I was happy to see they were the “sugar” version, the sugar free tastes like garbage.
@Pufferfishy I actually had a great smoothie made from two defrosted frozen bananas (complete with leaking sucrose), a cup of milk, a 1/3 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of microwaved chunky peanut butter (to get it soft), and a cup of KIND soft chocolate oats.
Blended into a kind of paste, which I stuck a store-brand blueberry ice-pop into to melt, and it was a great PB&J drink (I could probably re-freeze into cubes on a toothpick). Because I knew there were peanut and oat bits, I didn’t mind the graininess.
@pakopako@Pufferfishy reminds me I have to go outside and harvest/steal some apples from my neighbors trees. I missed most of my cherries this year. Pears not due for a while.
I started taking these a few months ago and can tell if I forget a day or two. Not because of digestive issues as that was never an issue, but more of a lack of energy or focus. The taste and texture are not for everyone but is not something I mind. I take a pack in the morning before coffee so even if i didn’t like the taste the coffee would fix that.
Only issue is the cost, which I alleviate by buying in bulk at Costco when they go on sale. These 35 count boxes are the Costco size boxes and I don’t remember offhand, but I think this price is what they are when on sale, normal cost is $45.
I’m a born skeptic and cynic but think these actually are beneficial after giving them a fair trial.
@troy Thanks. I was too lazy to look myself but knew there was no way that the Costco sale price was any lower than the meh price. Makes this an even better deal so glad i bought 2 two-packs today. With what I have already I’m good thru the end of the year if my math is mathing.
@pmarin@troy C’mon it’s not being a sucker. It’s FOMO. When I saw these were paused, I suddenly wanted them too. But I figured it’s not a $12 IRK so I had plenty of time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I lost out on a $12 IRK. And now gruns gummies. . I’m just a failure.
lol I actually have felt so much better since introducing these into my daily routine last fall. I can’t do the no sugar but the low sugar ones don’t bother me - much easier than stomaching some of the green juices out there. Was happy to get an even better deal from meh than at Costco, too!

50 bucks for prank fart candy is too much, sad to say
@omally Yeah, you can get fart pranked at Taco Bell right now. And I hear it lasts over a month. What a bargain!
What flavor is fresh and sweet? It sounds minty and gross
@mypiesarepiff strawberry!

It’s not “adult” gummies without THC.
@danexton at this price, I assumed they were weed gummies. Imagine my disappointment.
Just no.
@MarkML when you No, you No!

How can a placebo increase vitamin C and folate levels at all? If a placebo contains the thing you’re testing against, that ain’t a placebo.
The label warms of lead . . . Yum!
@poids where is the lead warming? I can’t find it.
@jmrobinett @poids Bottom right of the igrediants label. “CALIFORNIA WARNING: Risk of cancer and reproductive harm from exposure to lead.”

you know I have to, yeah?
these literally make really shitty margaritas
@alacrity You beat me to it.
@alacrity @werehatrack using one of the products from yesterday, you could say “you really blended me to it.”
Looks like ‘Balance of Nature’ in gummy form rather than capsules.
@heartny WOW

I’m sure that I’l not the only one who looked at their “MTHFR friendly” statement and decoded it as something other than what they meant.
Hi friends. If you, or someone in your life, takes GLP-1s these are tremendous in assisting in “keeping things moving” as one says. Very good price but man they taste funky.
I was interested until I saw the warning about Lead… WTF?
@Mandamm That’s a heavy warning.
@Mandamm @mehcuda67 yes it is! You would have to stay away from the Scanners you see at buildings.
If “you’re” Apple product…DOH

Skip the whole digestive hassle and just flush them down the potty.
@Bumplepimp how about saving the money & skip buying them. Then you don’t have to dump the in the toilet.
@mycya4me Where’s the satisfaction in that?
Skip buying them and get a pizza and a 12 pack and binge-watch “Sliders” with a friend.

People will do anything to keep from simply eating an apple or a banana.
@Pufferfishy I actually had a great smoothie made from two defrosted frozen bananas (complete with leaking sucrose), a cup of milk, a 1/3 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of microwaved chunky peanut butter (to get it soft), and a cup of KIND soft chocolate oats.

@pakopako @Pufferfishy reminds me I have to go outside and harvest/steal some apples from my neighbors trees. I missed most of my cherries this year. Pears not due for a while.
@Pufferfishy They are actually vitamins, I’m not sure why they aren’t saying that. You’re only supposed to eat one package a day.
Costco has the for less - a rare swing & a miss for Meh today.
@cheppy They have 35 packs for $45. We have 70 packs for $50
@cheppy @troy Math is a good thing.
@cheppy @troy can attest to this being accurate as I mathed this before committing to purchase.
@cheppy This is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it. I usually buy them at Costco. This is a good deal.
Holy crap, what a product!
It may be worth $50 just to see how stinky one’s toots would get.
“MTHFR friendly”? OK, I will admit, I should probably be friendlier to MTHFRs.
But I’m unwilling to spend that much to do so.
I ordered glasses at Costco today and these were one of the free samples. They taste awful and leave a strong aftertaste.
@sammydog01 someone warned about sugar vs sugar-free ones. Which were the ones at Costco?
@pmarin I didn’t check.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@sammydog01 Costco used to have a lot of “health” items with sucralose/aspartame. More recently some have removed it, thankfully.
@pmarin I’m going to guess sugar because I’m pretty good at telling artificial sweeteners. But the taste may have covered it up. Did not like.

@user84583154 from my research this is what I found Costco’s pricing to be for 35 pouches:
@troy Thanks. I was too lazy to look myself but knew there was no way that the Costco sale price was any lower than the meh price. Makes this an even better deal so glad i bought 2 two-packs today. With what I have already I’m good thru the end of the year if my math is mathing.
Wife and I can confirm the flavor is probably the main reason these are on meh.
I’m shocked they’ve sold enough to have to pause the deal. These are expensive. Even at the offered price.
@Trinityscrew I think it’s the THC mentioned in the deal…
Grun: GRoss and rUiNs your day. These are seriously unpalatable!
@kdominique that’s because you didn’t use the u-umlaut!
I got some! What the Hell did I do? It’s only because I found I couldn’t get any; then I wanted them!

@rcwbbb @troy … I thought it was Fool me twice… won’t get fooled again.
@pmarin @troy I heard another version.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, look in the mirror.
Fool me three times, get a saddle.
I cannot express badly grüns smell
@kowzwitgunz well, now my anticipation of regret grows stronger!
@kowzwitgunz Hey, give yourself some credit - you did a great job of express badly.
They were giving out samples of these at Costco this weekend. They must be very healthy
lol I actually have felt so much better since introducing these into my daily routine last fall. I can’t do the no sugar but the low sugar ones don’t bother me - much easier than stomaching some of the green juices out there. Was happy to get an even better deal from meh than at Costco, too!
These taste like they were stored somewhere warm.
@mossygreen The ones at Costco did too.
