Where is the variety?
We love gums but lately the tubes have predominantly contained 90% red and black.

Changed recipe?
When did you start adding starch to fruit gums? Used not to. Changes the texture. Not as good. Cheaper to make?

Gorgeous
I tend to buy these when I see them love them remind me of when I was a young girl.
They don't make sweets like these any more absolutely gorgeous you can taste the fruit juice in them and highly addictive.

Why?
I love fruit gums!!! I particularly love the strawberry and orange ones. Why why why even after buying st least 10 bags in the last 3 mo that does every packet have loads of lime and blackcurrent flavours but hardly any of the others?? I don’t like the black currant as much and always feel hard done to that the nicest flavours and Luke a needle in haystack! Come on fruit gums stop filling the bags with green and black ones? Are they cheaper to make?

Disappointment
Rowntree's Fruit Gums were my all time favourite sweets when a child back in the 50s and 60s and to receive a box of Fruit Gums rather than the cheaper rolls was a treat indeed. Today, after years of not eating Fruit Gums, I bought a bag in full anticipation or re-visiting my childhood favourite. I am sorry to say that although the name is the same the product is not. They have gone from being a shiny, hard, gum to becoming more akin to Maynards Wine Gums. Like so many sweets from the past, new manufacturers try to 'improve' the product and it doesn't come off. The flavours are delicious, but the texture is not the same and it is the texture that I enjoyed all those years ago, hence my disappointment. Nestlé is trying to cash in on nostalgia, but they have not adhered to the original recipe which is a real shame because, after all, the slogan from my childhood was 'Don't forget the fruit gums, Mum!' Nestlé has forgotten and produced a pale pretender.

Not enough greens
There are to many black ones in this size and not enough greens could you redress this matter and have a better ratio green to black to green ones

Where have they been all my life?
I live in the US and I'd never heard of these until my college started carrying them in their store, along with Pastilles, Randoms, and Tots. I decided to pick them up and my life has been changed! They're not only delicious, they're healthier than most other sweets here in the states. I'm not even halfway finished with my first roll (they last me forever, too) and I just picked up my second one! I could not recommend them more!

lifetime fan!!!!
I have loved fruit gums all my life and I am now 58. I struggle to find them in the shops - most supermarkets now mainly stock a well known european brand of gummy sweets, which I loathe. No other gum compares to Rowntrees for flavour and chewiness. I buy them in bulk online !!!! Rowntrees, DON'T EVER STOP MAKING THESE FRUUIT GUMS.
