Jelly BellyCherry Sours Candy - 1 Pound (16 Ounces) Resealable Bag - Genuine, Official, Straight from the Source

I love jelly bellies and most of their flavors (not licorice or grapefruit, though. YUCK!). These cherry sours are wonderful. The only problem is that the bag is only one pound. Come on, gives a 5 pound bag option!

The Jelly Belly brand has been top-ranked, to us, for over 30 years. Unfortunately, for some reason, this particular product has not hit the mark and has some definite quality issues. Besides being stale, there was no sour taste, whatsoever—although what we sampled was very, very sweet! We would definitely entertain a do-over, if offered, to give the brand a chance to redeem themselves with us. Otherwise, we are left disappointed with these cherry not-so-sours. We would like a refund!

I got some of these when a friend dropped off some candy treats. I can't chew the gummy center well but I love the coating.

Just what I wanted

I love sour cherry candy. Before buying, I read the reviews, and noticed the quality seems to vary wildly between the good reviews and bad reviews. I'm one of those that got a bag that is not good. They are very tough, and the outer shell is crunchier than normal and has a stale taste to it. There is really no sour flavor to them at all, and not a ton of cherry flavor either. This could be due to them being 2 months before the expiration, I guess. The bag has the creation date (Lot date), which is 01-May-22, and the best by date is 21-May-23. It's mid March now (2023), and I would expect them to still be good, but they're not.7-eleven sells a version of these, and they are much better. The ones from Disneyland are way better. I've bought them at CVS under another brand and those were better too (could be all the same company selling under different labels). With the Jelly Belly name I expected a certain quality which was just not there. They're not inedible, but they are the worst sour cherry balls I've had.

Uniform compared to mixed products. Great taste. Turns tongue red like I was a kid.

These had absolutely no "sour cherry" flavor. They were not fresh and very hard to chew. I was very disappointed with the product! I figured since they were Jelly Belly's I would be happy and satisfied with my purchase, unfortunately that was not the case. I will not make another purchase from the company.

Good taste, but to hard
