Sugar-Free Gummy Rings Keto Candy - Assorted Fruit Flavors Keto Snacks - Vegan, Gummy, Gluten Free, Low Carb, Sugar-Free Gummies, Bulk 1 LB

I'll be the first to admit that I have a sweet tooth. Wanting to cut back on sugar, but still having something to pick at to satisfy my sweet tooth, I started looking into sugar free candies. It was there that I first encountered... the legend. Those hilarious tales of unassuming sweets and digestive distress. I thought them exaggerated and, overcome by curiosity, bought a bag of sugar free gummy bears. The man that doubted the extent of their infamy is gone now. He didn't know what it was that he had wrought. He thought himself built different. He wasn't built different. He was built stupid. The man in his place knows them for what they are now: demons that had managed to claw their way out of the pits of Hell and hide away in a plastic bag. I had thought the legend untrue at first. Five or six bears as a snack and I felt completely fine for hours, so I, in my endless hubris, had a few more. That was the beginning of the End. I had given the bears the reinforcements they needed to muster their foul armies. I had felt a small rumbling in my gut at that time, but thought nothing of it. The me that used to exist didn't see it as the warning that it was, as the first Fire of Gondor warning of the horrors cresting the horizon. It was when I was squatting down to check my mail that they struck. The bears sent saboteurs to daze me with stomach cramps like punches to the gut before charging the walls of my sphincter. I shot up standing ramrod straight, clenching with all my might to only barely avert the demonic hordes from breaching the wall. If there were anyone around to see me, they might have thought I had just heard a sleeper agent activation phrase with the sudden, uncanny stiffness of my movements. I slammed the mailbox shut and stiffly raced back home, barely reaching porcelain salvation before all Hell literally broke loose. What followed was the most drawn out and painful series of pressure-washings my toilet bowl will likely ever experience. I would think the gastrointestinal demons finally banished, before their forces would rally for another attack ten minutes later. After the first hour, I was hoping it was over. After the third hour, I was hoping for a miracle. After the sixth hour, I wanted off Mr. Gummy Bear's Wild Ride. After the ninth hour, I accepted that my fate was to suffer, and repented for the sin of ever questioning the might of the unassuming gummy bear. After the tenth hour...it was over, and I was changed. I keep that bag and the remaining contents next to a rosary off in the side of my pantry. Every time I open it, I look into their beady eyes and know fear. Know that the High Demon Maltitol and his dread armies are not to be trifled with. Oh, and the gummy bears were pretty good. A bit softer than I expected, and with an aftertaste that I almost didn't notice, but still tasty. Give them as a gift to someone that you think needs to learn some humility.

PROS: Taste is good. CONS: Texture is soft, not chewy like regular gummies. WARNING--if you eat more than a small amount a day you will get horrible diarrhea. I typically eat at least a big handful or two, but when I did, I ended up with my stomach gurgling and bubbling like crazy (for hours!), then pain joined in, then diarrhea like you had turned on a faucet. This lasted close to 24 hours. I thought it was food poisoning, but they had the same affect on another family member. I tried eating just 10 and nothing bad happened. OK product if you only eat 10, maybe more, but I'm not going to test how many you can eat before you get diarrhea. And no I am not going to buy these again. I also had the same reaction to sugar free gummy worms from another manufacturer. Must be something about sugar free gummies, period. I would not recommend these to anyone--stay away!

Pretty hard and weird to chew compared to regular ones. I guess no sugar is good. I think good value, but malitol is cheap so idk. Taste is ok. They aren't melted or sticky. Major laxative effects. Albanese is expensive but better taste and texture. Edit: Only ok in small quantities, had 30 and experiencing the worst pain of my life right now.

Initially, I am not keen on the flavor of these gummy bears. They taste like a mix of wax and children's medicine without a lot of differentiation between colors. The gummy's consistency is different than typical gummy bears and is more of a soft solid texture that isn't gummy. However, it is pleasant and nice. I have eaten over a dozen without stomach discomfort. This is known to cause a laxative effect, gas, and stomach pain in some people. Currently, these would not be reordered or recommended based on taste. They do not taste good to me. Suggestions for improvement -Improving the flavor would greatly improve the overall experience.

Let me start by saying I'm diabetic and have eaten keto/sugar free candy on and off for years. I have never had such interesting side effects from said sugar free candy until I tried these. These gummies have a weird oil taste to them that lingers in the mouth and makes the fingers a bit greasy. Could be mineral oil to keep them from sticking together. And they all taste like the same flavor, which I can't figure out - maybe Exxon Tutti Frutti? Me being a bit of a pig, I probably ate a few more than a serving, and after unsticking a bunch of gummi bear from my molars, went on about my business and eventually went to bed. Around 3am, I was shartled awake by abdominal cramping and incredible farts. After rolling out of bed and shuffling to the toilet, I became an unwilling participant in a colon cleanse, painting the toilet brown and making enough noises for the entire neighborhood to enjoy. I felt as though I may turn inside out. Stars burst inside my eyelids. I gripped a towel I was using to mop sweat so hard it became a diamond. I may have met Jesus. Even my cats were watching me from their positions in front of my feet with concern for my well being. Or waiting for me to die so they could eat my face. Fortunately, it was only one explosive episode that put White Castle and Taco Bell to shame, but the foul winds followed me through my work day, much to the chagrin of my coworkers. 10/10- definitely recommend these laxatives.

The Maltitol in these is the problem! I bought these for myself because I love gummies but was trying to find a sugar free version for my diet. The first time I ate them my gut became SO gassy the rest of the day and evening! The painful kind. I did not know it was related to these gummies. The next day I continued eating them and shared them with my 7 year old son. He eat quite a few and probably more than me. Again, shortly after I experienced the same symptoms. So, I put 2 and 2 together. It must be the gummies. That night, my son woke up at 1 am crying out for my husband and I. As we woke up and came to him he was throwing up on the floor. As we took him to the bathroom toilet to finish throwing up in there he all of a sudden started going out his bottom end all over the floor and was yelling that he had stomach pains. After trying to figure out why he was so sick all of a sudden, he started expelling the same big gas as I was. I then looked up the ingredients in the gummies and found out that Maltitol is a sugar substitute that can cause "gas, stomach pains, and act as a laxative and cause diarrhea"! I had not seen him that sick since he was in diapers. I'm throwing these things away!! I hope my other sons is not effected tomorrow!

Tasted kind of funky to me Would not buy again.

So, the lady and I bought these after I told her the myth that sugar free gummy bears are practically a sweeter stool softener. We both walked this trial by fire cautiously by only eating a few bears the day we got them. No effect. Not swayed by this the next day we grabbed our bears in our little curious mitts and gobbled down about 10 each. Still, no effect. This is a good thing I now know. Boy do I miss the times when we were enjoying the mystery and joy of these bears. Day 3 rolled around and my lady was taking a nap so I decided, "I'm big, I'm brave, I can eat 25 gummies." These were words uttered from a fool. About 30 minutes after my critical error my stomach felt like someone was using my insides for batting practice for the homerun derby. My brow was non stop releasing sweat. I felt like what I think child birth must feel like. I was a breaking man. Then came the gas, oh lord the gas. You could power a 16 wheeler going from Maine to California with the flatulence that was leaving my body. This lasted for about an hour. It was about this point my girl woke up and I told her thP j.l N e grave mistake I'd made. So what does she do, go get some gummies to experience what I'm experiencing. That poor woman. We started making dinner when it hit me. Oh man did it hit me. They say only God can judge me but that is a lie. My neighbors I know were judging me as wave after wave of the diarrhea tsunami hit my porcelain. I bit down on my towel as I pushed through the voyage. After about 5 minutes of pure agony subsided I left the bathroom. Shame hung heavy over my head knowing I didn't respect the bears. Those cute little bears took me on a religious experience. An experience of pain, laughter, and lots of Glade air freshener. Never again on my life will I disrespect the bears. They are there for absolute emergency. Every time I open my pantry from here forward ill see them staring at me, smiling at me, reminding me of the trip I took took the the bottom circle of toilet hell. No report back from the lady yet, she wont leave the bathroom. May God have mercy on her soul. Oh and they taste pretty good. I'd recommended refrigerating them. Helps with the texture.
