Advantages: quite cheap to buy, good brand name.

Disadvantages: not very fizzy and quite hard to chew

It's funy actually, as a child, I hadn't got a sweet tooth and rarely ate sweets at all, I prefered things like crisps. But as I've got older I've aquired a taste for sweets, my favourites being sour and fizzy like cola bottles. I don't know why, I just like the way they are tangy and chewy and how they taste in your mouth. I used to buy them from a pick and mix at the local store but I saw a bag of these haribo sweets at the same shop and recognised the brand thinking they would be good so I bought a 225g bag for £1. I got home and opened them whilst watching television and as I ate one I felt disapointed. They weren't nasty sweets at all but I found that they were quite hard to chew on and they weren't very fizzy at all. They were nice but I like really fizzy ones and these didn't do it. To me, they tasted like cheap sweets or out of date because they weren't very nice to chew on either because they were hard. They hurt my teeth after eating about 10 of them. The taste might not be too fizzy but this probably makes them better for younger consumers because if they were too fizzy, then they wouldn't eat them.
You can buy a little bag of these for 10p, great size to fit in a kids lunchbox or you can buy the 225g bag for around £1.00.

Now the nutritional info:
Per 100g, Haribo Tangfastics contain:

Energy 340 kcal (340 calories)
Protein 6.3g
Carbohydrates 78.3g
Fat 0.2g
Fibre 0.3g

Look at all those calories! Plus there are a lot of E numbers in the jelly as well which add up. These sweets are coated in sugar which makes them taste nice but I'm sure your dentist won't like them.

Overall, these sweets are nice and can be OK if you're not looking for something too tangy but for me, they didn't quite cut it. They are god value for money and you can get a good sized bag for £1 so if you don't like them you've not wasted much money.

Summary: Overall nice sweets just not very sour
