SugusWrigley's Sweet Chewy Candy Black Currant Flavour 5 Packs (30 g. x 5 packs)

For anyone who doesn’t know the reason black currant is so hard to get in the US is because it was actually made illegal!! Black currant plants give a disease to white pine trees which were a major trade in the US. However black currents also weren’t particularly popular, so they were just banned.In other parts of the world there was snow white pine trade, or at least less of one. And as such these countries get to have arguably the best flavor in the world, black currant.10/10 flavour. The best. So glad to get in the states.

This is probably my new favorite candy. We don't have blackcurrant in the US, so this was a new flavor for me. It's more sweet than tangy, but still fruity. This chewy taffy isn't too hard, it's like a nowandlater but a tad softer and chewier. I wish these were as abundant as Mambas or Starburst, because they're better!

Barely taste black currant-almost like it’s sugar free without aspartame 😅

Delicious candy from Vietnam and Thailand. Our daughter got this candy in Thailand when she was there.I bought a bunch of it when I went to Vietnam and Thailand. My Vietnamese friends had never had it. They loved it as much as we do. They have other flavors but currant is our favorite.

These are basically black currant Starbursts, or in essence a small square of taffy flavored like black currant. I would prefer pastilles (and I'll probably turn my attention towards those later) but this is nice for the flavor, if nothing else. Black currant is a rarity in this country (the US) and, as someone who was born in British-controlled Hong Kong, I can't get black currant-flavored stuff here without going to some significant lengths.

Got these in my Christmas stocking and they are so yummy. Tart and sweet and fruity.

So delicious and so much better than Starburst! What can I say?

I was excited to see this item on Amazon, but unfortunately this isn't the true "currant gummies" of my childhood. It's lacking in currant flavor, and for whatever reason, the paper used to wrap each individual gummy sticks to itself. The candy doesn't taste bad - but if you're looking for true currant gummies, you'll be disappointed with this one.
