I added these gummy lobsters to my order at Pearl's simply because I have never seen a gummy lobster before and the unique shape prompted an impulse buy. A bit of online research reveals that these are a popular tourist item in New England. Unfortunately, I don't think these go much beyond the novelty of the shape. This is the first bag of gummies that I have noticed an intense smell, and not in a pleasant way. They don't really smell bad, but they smell sickly sweet and artificial. The taste is a light generic cherry flavor but at the same time is intensely sugary sweet. The texture is too rubbery and soft for me. I would definitely pass on these, but they aren't as bad as the Gustaf's Cows.
--------------------------------------------------
Texture: These are too soft and rubbery.
Flavors: These are one flavor, cherry red.
Cost: $0.33/oz, 9oz bag, at Pearl's Nostalgic Candy, Chocolate, and Nuts (pearlscandynh.com)
Availability: I think these are fairly common in New England, especially at tourist attractions. I've never been, so I can't say for sure, but my online research indicates this is the case. I've never seen these in bulk stores in my area, which isn't too far away, in New York.
