Fizzy and yummy!

Fizzy Cola Bottles are my ALL time favourite "Penny" sweet ever since I was a kid.I therefore have quite strong feelings about them.I'm always looking for the perfect Cola-bottle I remember from my youth growing up in the UK circa 1980s.These, while certainly not unpleasant, do not hit the spot in the way that the ones from my childhood did.I'll do my best to describe these:Medium/Small size (Sounds obvious, but sometimes Cola-bottles can be tiny. Sometimes this is a good thing, as those ones can be extra sour, which I like!)So next on to fizzyness/sourness: These are medium fizzy/sour. Not so much that they make you go cross-eyed, but enough that if you suck one first before chewing, you get a reasonable hit of sour fizz. I could take even more sourness tbh, but that's just me. I like them as sour as possible!The actual Cola taste is fine, not overtly strong at first. But with a nice sweet Cola aftertaste.Consistency: This is where these bottles let the side down. - As they are VEGAN sweets, they are made with Potato starch as opposed to Gelatin like the traditional ones from days of yore! - This makes for a very, very sticky chew that will definitely get stuck between your teeth. (I'm still picking bits out as I write this!) - Original ones were more gummy in texture with a bounce back that is more like Haribo. In fact, I used to like sucking the sherbet off them and you'd be left with a non-fizzy Cola bottle underneath that was translucent and squidgy. These don't do that. - This spoils the whole thing for me personally.In conclusion, I give these 5/10. - If you're looking for the exact same Cola Bottles from the 70s/80s, keep looking as these ain't them! - Saying that, they are still Fizzy Cola Bottle, so I'll probably eat the rest as they taste ok and I am a pig!.Personally I won't by buying again, but most people won't be as picky as me! ^_^....Ahhhh, oh well...the search continues!

Loved it! Perfect service, arrived promptly & perfect for our Wedding - thank you!

For £9.99 this seemed very expensive for what was a very small bag of sweets.£5.00 would have been about right.
