Haribo Gummi Candy, Strawberries, 5-Pound Bag

NOTE: I ORDERED THESE TWICE..... ONE WAS GREAT ONE WAS NOT.... so I want people to be aware of both.....(My original review 1 star, my follow up is 5 stars):###################################################New Review###################################################I added pictures this time. Amazon refunded me for the last order. This time i received the actual product in its original packaging labeled as you would see in a store.The package was sturdy and it arrived intact and high quality.The candy is fresh, its soft, its gummy, its exactly what you would expect. It tastes perfect.I couldn't be happier!!!!!!###################################################ORIGINAL REVIEW:###################################################So this is going to be an interesting review, I'm giving a 1 Star because I have to, but if they made one correction, it would deserve 5 stars.What I received what EXACTLY what's pictured: "a clear plastic plastic with a label"The clear plastic bag is extremely thin and brittle. I think they had some bad manufacturing issues. When I opened my Amazon packing box, this bag was inside, wrapped loosely in Amazon paper.The reason for the low score is because the manufacturers packaging was so thin, so brittle, that the bag itself tore in shipping.So my package was already open. :(The gummies were very soft, just like they should be! But I couldn't eat them for food safety reasons alone.Note: when I picked up the bag, I picked it up by the unopened & untorn part, and the weight of the 5lb bag just tore the packaging again!The candies were perfect! Exactly what you'd expect! The manufacturer packaging however, was too flimsy to protect it

Love the product, not too sweet or sour..

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My favorite candy of all time. Great flavor.

Delicious

Haribo always comes through

It taste authentic. The cola flavor is not easy to find at the store, so I am happy I got few months supply

Yep, feels heavy enough to be 5 pounds... This is the second time I've bought this item; the first was good tasting, but half the package was stuck together, tasted good none the less. On thing that was a surprise was the packaging. Don't be surprised if your package arrives like a 'russian doll'; one bag inside another. My bag of candy (sealed, of course) came inside a US postal Service bag that was sealed inside another Postal Service Bag that was sealed inside the final UPS Ground bag. It's like having Christmas in August !

These are my favorite Haribo shape and flavor so was very pleased to find them available on Amazon. 5 lbs is a lot of gummy cherries but they are fun to share, hold up under heated conditions reasonably well and the quality and flavor make me happy!
