Swedish Fish - blue raspberry lemonade

Ahhh. Swedish Fish are just not that good of a candy, OK? There's no flavor that can fix them. Sour Patch Kids are infinitely better. That's the situation. And I have so many of these too!! But it's OK. There are some pros:

-Nut free
-Cute fish shape (that says SWEDISH, double cute)
-Fun blue color
-The idea of a lemonade flavor is nice. A summer seasonal flavor is nice.

Alas, there are cons:

-They're so stale even though they expire months from now.
-Even apart from that, the texture is weird, oily, chewy, and chemical (although less than the red ones)
-The flavor is mainly just "sugar" "swedish fish" and "oil" -- not much lemonade comes out. Maybe a little "blue raspberry", but it's subtle.

If you already like Swedish Fish, then sure, I recommend these, but if you don't (and who could?) then these will probably not change anything for you. Alas. 

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10 (generous tbh)
