Just because a candy is allergen-free does not mean it will be good, and these are a great example. However, I do trust Hershey's labelling. And one of the primary ingredients here (like actually, above ~10 other things) is "artificial flavors". Never a good sign. The texture is compellingly stretchy play-doh-ish, although that might just be because my house is 5000 degrees. But although the stickiness is unpleasant, they are pretty fun to stretch out, like a cheese stick or something. Does not add to their "foodstuff" profile, however. The two flavors are pretty different; blue raspberry is straight up bad (4/10), and tastes like strange artificial pool noodle. I actually got more "green apple" than blue raspberry from it, if anything. Much better texture than the similarly plastic filled twizzlers, at least. (Fool me once...). The cherry one is definitely better (6/10); it tastes pretty close to the cherry jolly rancher hard candy, with not too much artificiality (or medicinalness, for that matter). I will eat them all in time, but half will be a mild punishment and half will be a mild treat. Perfect for end-of-month work task motivation!
Overall
Cost: 6/10
Taste: 5/10
