TLDR Review: Black Forest Gummy Bears
Verdict
Black Forest gummy bears deliver genuinely delicious fruit flavor that stands out from competitors like Haribo, and their soft texture is a win if you have sensitive teeth. However, the new formula's extreme stickiness is a significant trade-off—these aren't grab-and-go gummies anymore, and you'll need to wash your hands after eating. If you're looking for a premium gummy experience you'll enjoy at home or in jello shots, they're worth trying, but if you need portable snacking, the stickiness might frustrate you.
