Big fan of the GW. Recently tried the 7-11 brand and was shocked to find them quite good. This is in stark contrast to the CVS brand. The 7-11 ones even had quality molds with eyes and smiles.

With the named gummi, I think Haribo is overrated. Kind of dry and tough. Black Forest is okay.

Who's your gummi supplier?

Nobody paste the gummy lighthouse penises in here. This thread is for Serious Shit only.

I get these at the local airport overpriced convenience store.



Their normal gummy worms are terrible, but the sour are really good, especially the blue/red.

They look like they should taste like Twizzlers, which I think is why I've avoided them for so long.

Honestly, it's been years since I had any.

They taste like red. Noticeably different from Twizzlers though, which I associate with wax.

Kids need their gummi to be all "extreme" these days.

Really? I think more petrochemical.

Swedish fish certainly look like wax.

You can't beat that.

Haribo and Katjes, mainly.

I don't do Gummy Worms, but in general, when it comes to sour gummy varieties, Haribo has a good selection (in Europe, that is.)

World Market has a pretty good Haribo selection in the US.

Some of my favorites: Sour Cherries



Sour "tongues"



Fruity pasta



Fizzy Cola

I wanted to like the Fizzy Cola (they have it at Walgreens) but it was just... Bleaugh.

Maybe I got some bum gummi.
