Gustaf's Strawberry Gummy Pigs



I ordered these Gustaf's Gummy Pigs at the same time as the Cows, otherwise, after the Cows, I probably would have stayed away from Gustaf's Gummies.  Luckily, these aren't too bad.  They have the same foamy light texture as the Cows, but the flavor is much better.  Unlike the Cows, I don't feel like I am eating flavored fluoride.  These are supposed to be Strawberry, but the flavor is more of a light fruit, not really identifiable as Strawberry.  They aren't as sticky as a traditional gummy texture, so if you have issues with gummies sticking in teeth and/or braces these may be an alternative gummy for you.  These are very cute, but I won't buy again unless I have a need for a pig themed candy for some reason, which I doubt.  However, unlike the Cows, the Pigs will likely be eaten at some point.  The Cows are already in a landfill somewhere.

--------------------------------------------------
Texture: These are a light fluffy, kind of foamy gummy.

Flavors: These are supposed to be Strawberry.  I'm not really getting that, but they do have a pleasant light fruit flavor.

Cost: $0.33/oz, 9oz bag, at Pearl's Nostalgic Candy, Chocolate, and Nuts (pearlscandynh.com)

Availability: These are imported from the Netherlands so they can be found at specialty and candy shops only.
