Hi-Chew

I wanted to try these for a long time, since they are candy (yum) without any nuts (accessible yum). I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of texture, since they are Japanese and therefore probably different from taffy (my closest guess). Indeed, they are different! I bought mine in the winter so maybe they aren't always, but they were quite firm, like a now and later. Still chewable, but more like gum than like a starburst, even though they do dissolve. It was a fun texture.

Green Apple: This was a super strong green apple flavor, not too sweet and nicely tart. 7/10

Strawberry: Also a good strong strawberry flavor, but I didn't like it as much. It was fine. 6/10

Mango: This had a really strong mango flavor but actually that's not a good thing. It tasted like canned tropical fruit essence, which isn't great for a candy! 5/10

Pineapple: A similar vibe to the mango, but slightly more enjoyable flavor, even though it also had canned tropical fruit vibes. 6/10

Kiwi: Yum! This was good. It tasted maybe more like green apple than kiwi, but it had little kiwi seeds inside which was adorable. 7/10

Acai: Oh no, this tastes like the bubblegum flavored liquid medicine I had a lot as a kid, which was very good for medicine but turns out is not good as a candy. Also has funny seeds in it though. 5/10

Grape: Now this is a solid grape flavored candy, definitely a strong clear grape flavor.  I don't love grape flavor, but it's done well here. 7/10

Overall
Cost: 6/10
Taste: 7/10
