Advantages: Taste Yum

Disadvantages: Can be sickly if you eat too many

I normally don't buy sweets (well apart from chocolate!!) But when I was in Asda the other day I noticed they were on offer for 50p a packet for all Haribo bags. The bags weigh 200g which was really good value for money. They are usually priced around £1.09 for a pack.

The packaging - Well because they are strawbs the pack is red and green, with Haribo written in large white writing along the top. There is also the the Haribo kid on the front holding up a strawberry that says "with real fruit juice".

On the back of the packet it has all the information you need with ingredients and nutritional information. There is also the food facts which state that strawbs are - Gluten free, Nut free, Milk free and Soya free. It's easy to read so you can check easily whether they are ok for you to eat incase you have allergies etc.

The sweets - Well in one word I would describe them as addictive. They are small jelly like sweets in a strawberry shape. They are red in colour with the small green stalk at the top. They are quite small about the size of a real cherry.

The taste - They are quite hard for jelly like sweets but once you chew into them, they taste very fruity and definately like strawberries. Again they taste like strawberry jelly and thankfully the stalk doesn't taste like a real stalk :)

They are mouth-watering and the taste does stay with you for a while. But once you do start to eat them it is hard to stop. Like most jelly sweets I do find if I eat to many I do start to feel slightly sick. (always go back for more later though!!)
