I love these and haven't been able to find them locally recently so I ordered from Amazon. They were slightly more expensive but when I got them, to my surprise they were melted globs in each bag. I literally have to peel off bag and cut apart to eat! As an addendum, the vendor was extremely responsive and even refunded my money. I will definitely order from this vendor again as they cannot help how hot it is out!I was super scared reading the other reviews that these would come as melted blobs. I live in Southern California and these shipped from Illinois...OVER THE WEEKEND, and it's the MIDDLE OF JULY. I decided to take a chance anyway because I LOVE these things, and I'm very glad I did. They were admittedly warm when I received them (I think that this whole situation should point to a larger conversation about working conditions for delivery drivers, because it's too hot for them to not have a/c, but I digress). None of them were melted together! They are very fresh, not hard (even after cooling off a bit). I'm happy with my purchase!Lovely taste. Great for dry mouth and helps with breathing.I had to start handing them out to doctor's office receptionists, etc., as I was eating a bag in just a few hours. Very addictive. I wish my grandfather could have tried these as he loved ginger.The combination of ginger and lemon in a gummy is delicious. The texture of the gummy is not soft and mushy like many gummies, it has some firmness so the texture is perfect! I initially bought this because I hate the TV commercial for Haribo (the baby talking adults) so I decided to try a bag to see if they are better than they are described in the ad.Does not taste like watermelon, but still good.Not for the timid candy lover; It’s for the passionate candy lovers.Last year, i found out that I have 5 herniated discs in my neck. One of them is placing a lot of pressure on my spinal cord. In addition to tremendous pain, it is causing horrible headaches that make me nauseous and lose my appetite One day, while shopping at a local party supply store, I spotted these on the candy aisle. I remembered that a friend had recommended ginger tea for my nausea. I bought a bag and took them to work with me.I put them on my desk and invited two of my coworkers who are close friends to help themselves. They were completely gone within an hour. On my way home that afternoon, I stopped at the Party store and bought every single bag they had left.I now keep these with me at all times. Whenever I become dizzy or nauseous, I just pop one of the candies in my mouth. They are absolutely delicious, so that is a bonus!One day, when I was at work, I was telling my friend that I had been unable to find the candy at the store at which had bought them before. She suggested that I try Amazon. I found a supplier who ships them a case at a time with free shipping. The per bag cost was significantly lower than what I have been paying locally. Since that time, I have never been without them. I just made my fourth order this week. I hope they never go out of stock!These candies are very addictive. Not too spicy, but you do feel a little burn in the aftertaste. They're about the size of a quarter each. The texture is like a cross between a gum drop and a fruit gelee, which is unlike the typical Haribo texture (e.g. Golden Bears). Warms you up inside on a cold winter day. Recommended if you love ginger like me!We love these, when they're fresh. The box we received had a best by date of 01/2020. The date they were ordered was 12/2019. They can't be returned for a refund and no reply from the supplier was received. So buyer beware. Inquire before you order.Le Haribo Fresh Cola sono le caramelle che preferisco di più in assoluto, specialmente per il loro gusto alla cola/limone e alla loro frizzantezza. Appena varcano la soglia di casa mia questo sacchetto di cocacoline ha una vita media di 1 - 2 ore, le consiglio a tutti ;-)Love the taste but my order consists of bags melted into a single glob of candy. if I ever order them again and get bags that aren't melted clumps of goo they would easily be a five star product.These are like marmite - you will either love them or hate them.We love them.Shame they aren't available in many stores and that they are quite expensive!
