Are these Forbidden Fruits?
it is very hard to find these now -why is this? Why not bring back little cardboard boxes of fruit shaped sweets - less plastic than bags or get shops to sell them loose in paper bags?

Used to be a lot better
When I was a (veggie) kid these were my favourites. They had proper texture, were firm and juicy and not full of gelatine. Now they are flabby and gelatinous. Such a shame. I noticed that they went meaty round about the time of the BSE crisis... presumably gelatine was being given away then!

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.
