If I was blindfolded and handed this bag of gummies I would probably say that they’re fairly average. I would possibly notice that there are several different shapes (three to be exact), and that the shapes are very different sizes. I’d probably also remark that each shape is the same flavour, in fact all of these gummies are the same flavour. If I was to describe the flavour I might say fruit punch, or just a very generic fruit flavour. It would be a simple review that might also be kind of short.

However, I ate these gummies with my eyes wide open, and there’s some good and some strange things about these gummies that need some explaining. To start, the good thing about these gummies is the colours. Sometimes rainbow coloured treats can be a little bit all over the place, but these were pretty good. The biggest problem that comes with multicoloured treats is often that some colours get more traction than others. This is not the case with these at all, each gummy was rainbow coloured, with only the hearts being slightly blobby.

The strange thing about these gummies is the theme. The hearts and rainbows are fairly straight forward, and work really well for any kind of pride celebration (or accessories for any unicorn cakes/birthday celebrations). The caterpillars are a little bit of an odd addition to the mix. I understand that Colin the Caterpillar is a staple character in the Marks and Spencer food lineup, but mixing him with hearts and rainbows is very random. I wouldn’t say it ruined the treat, but it did make it a little odd.

There was one true flaw with these gummies, and it came about with the hearts and a few of the caterpillars. I would say that almost half of my hearts were misshapen and I also had a few caterpillars that were very squished. It didn’t seem to be a transportation problem as much as a manufacturing problem. It’s possible that I got an unlucky bag, but it’s also possible that they’re all like that.
