Tangy Turtles: 5/10
🚨NEW ITEM🚨 When I hear “tangy” I think sour. I was so excited to see #traderjoes came out with a sour gummy because, even though I love the super sour Scandinavian Swimmers, I would not call them “sour”. Unfortunately, these tangy turtles are not sour either! The are coated in plain sugar so are very sweet as soon as you take a bite. The flavors were pretty good and tasted like lemon/lime, grape/cherry, and raspberry/orange and then the white base of each gummy is the same, sweet, plain gummy flavor. After the initial sweet taste, the “tangy” bitterness kicked in. The after taste is what I did not enjoy so much about these gummies. After each gummy I ate, my tongue tingled and felt almost numb. So strange! The texture is just like a peach ring and is more on the chewy and firm side. While these weren’t horrible to me, I would not consider them an incredible gummy that I would be excited to pick up again. Each bag is $1.99.
Have you tried these yet? What did you think?
Omg I just ate these and had my husband throw them out! The tongue tingle was so intense for me!
Yea these were a no for me too! Too tart and hurt my tongue! I threw out the rest of the bag, which isn’t normal for me.
Oh no.. I was planning on picking these up but I think I’ll pass on them now
These are cute, but the taste is so disappointing. And the after taste was yuck!!!

Bummer! For how cute they are!
Yeah, not very tasty.
@lmongeon08 turtle candy at Trader Joe’s 😱😱
The best candy by far is the dark chocolate watermelon sticks!

Bought these, had one and that was plenty. Not good. Taste totally synthetic.
Nooo I’m so sad 😭😭
okay but the sour scandinavian swimmers tho 🔥
The after taste was pretty bad. I thought I gotten a bad batch 👎🏾
@metalheadnugget79
HATED THEM. hated. Ugh. Wanted to like them cuz turtles brut nahh
These are blandest, saddest, not tangy or sweet gummies I’ve ever had.
Bought them. Such a weird taste profile. Also made my tongue almost feel raw? So odd. Hard pass going forward!
1/10. Terrible, but cute
I actually love these. Definitely could do with more of a tang, it doesn’t say sour on the packet so there not meant to be sour! I enjoyed the texture of these and flavors were subtle but enough to distinguish flavors.
These are AWFUL, I love gummy candy and I literally tossed the bag after 3 of them.
So disappointed in these! I just opened them and they taste like basil. It’s so weird!!
I thought there were awful 😕 too firm and extremely chewy!! That sour dusting was not sour and Strange
