These are the best gummies on the market. No artificial flavourscolours or anything else. They hgave quite an intense flavour but the only complaint I have is, there are sometimes hardly any of the blackcurrant ones, which are the very best!

These Rowntrees fruit pastilles are absolutely delicious and something that take me back to my childhood. The best thing about them now is that they still taste just as good but they are vegan. The pack still contains all of the classic flavors with the sugary outside which makes them moreish! Perfect for eating on the go when you want a sweet treat or sharing with family and friends in this perfect bag.

The taste of childhood for me. Fruity, chewy, addictive, the sort of sweet you happily eat a roll or a bag of without realising what happened. My favourites are the black ones :.

Very flavorful! They taste like fruit and are just the perfect sweetness! They are chewy and delicious! i enjoy the citrus flavors allot, they taste very similar to their actual fruit counterparts. They are chewy but they don't stick to badly to your teeth which is a major plus!!!! Very delicious!!!i love them!

Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles simply delicious used to love going to the cinema as they used to be the only place that sold them in boxes it was my lifetime ambition to make the box last until the end of the film something I never achieved I loved them back in the day and I still do!! still to this day, I cannot suck all the sugar off without chewing!!!

If you do not know these fruit gums well ... where were you these past 40 years? Chewy, fruity, tasty, cannot get enough. I cannot chew. Never been able and never will be. But still, tell my children not to! Enjoy!

I can remember first getting fruit pastilles when I was little back in the sixties when they only sold them in tubes...there was never enough! You try and let them melt in your mouth but it never gets past the sugar melting before you start to chew and get that super fruity taste. Now they sell them in larger bags and ... it's still not enough hahaha.

Fruit Pastilles were my favorite chewy candy during my childhood. I can't help feeling nostalgic whenever I eat these. They are chewy, tasty and have an abundance of fruity flavors like strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, lemon and lime. My personal favorite is blackcurrant. It's hard not to indulge in an entire bag of these tasty treats, so ordering multiple bags is a great idea.

The perfect sweet !! They are fruity, chewy and delicious. A real feelgood treat, to share with your loved ones watching a good movie, slip in a stocking for Christmas or just eat yourself when you need a little something special. The only problem with these is obvious: they are so nice you can't put the bag down. So I would suggest sharing with others, otherwise I would easily eat the whole thing myself in no time !

These and Rowntrees Fruit Gums were my "go to" sweets when I lived back home in Scotland - and also when I was living in England. They simply are delicious and you honestly can't have just one! In fact, if you put 2-3 in your mouth at one time the flavours are even better!! The fact that I can now get them again just gets me too excited for words!

Definitely can't NOT chew!

These delicious fruity sweets come in pleasantly tangy flavours, with sugar crystallising on the surface. The ones in the hanging bag usually come in fun shapes too - the lemons look like lemons, the limes like limes and the snozzberries look like snozzberries!

They have a pleasantly chewy texture - rest assured your jaw will work a tiny bit when eating them, so perhaps you can feel a bit less guilty about munching a whole bag.

These lovely sweets were first choice for me when I got my pocket money as a child (in the tube) not in a big bag like the one you sell, I shall certainly order a bag or two as they are truly a lovely fruity sensation in the mouth, the sugar coating adds that little extra - they are hard to put down as a little voice tends to say "just one more". One of life's indulgent little pleasures.

Fruit Pastilles are lovely. they are colourful, tasty and very very tempting. It is very difficult to choose your favourite colour as they are all great in their own way.

Eating them can be fun if you try to challenge the advertising campaign that tempted you to eat it without chewing.

Kelly from UK - England on 03-10-2013

These are very fruity, and very chewy.

The ad campaign for these sweets during the 1980s was centred around the idea that you can't put one in your mouth without chewing. I am 34 years old and everytime i eat Rowntrees fruit pastilles, I am haunted by that advert and its taunt that i won't be able to resist chewing... and I can't help myself from TRYING to not chew. Every time. I try to suck it away into nothingness.

But they were right...

34 years of failure.... but they are really good sweets.
