I like the regular fruit chews, especially the vanilla and a little bit the green and red ones. But these sour ones are sadly less good. For one thing, there's no vanilla, it's blue raspberry! And the main flavor note you get on 'em is just "sour". Plus, they hurt my lil teethies (and I'm due for two fillings)! Anyway, here's my tentative flavor ranking:
1. Red (cherry)
2. Yellow (lemon)
3. Orange (orange)
4. Blue (blue razz)
5. Pink (watermelon)

The oat crunch here does add a certain "heft", a certain "fillingness". So that's good. It smells just like berry flavored oatmeal, though, which isn't particularly tempting. And it has the mystery "vegetable juice" ingredient as well. For something that feels like a bit of a chore, I think it should have fewer carbs, but alas. It's filling and fine but not great.

At first chomp, these taste a lot like BBQ fritos, which I sure don't love. The powder here is indeed very BBQ-y, like a BBQ sauce, and I like that aspect. It smells pretty good and has a strong flavor, but of course isn't cheesy at all which is what Doritos usually are. Kinda weird vibes, although ultimately, I think I do like it, although I'm not sure how much.

Oh, no. What was I thinking buying this? Years later, the gummy burger from when I was 9 still haunts me and my digestive system. Yes, this is safe, but it tastes just like the gummy burger. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same company, actually. Just bad, cheap gummy. It's no haribo, and I don't even love Haribo!

Some of my best friends are Fruity 2 in 1s. This is cute, but kind of a weird choice for JR, since it's literally just the existing flavors smooshed together (plus orange?). And one of the flavors in each pairing completely overpowers the other. In order of my preference, there's:
Orange/Cherry: Here, orange is overwhelming, which is too bad because cherry is my favorite normal rancher. It's still the best combo, though. The orange tastes exactly like an orange popsicle does.
Grape/Apple: Here, grape is overwhelming. I like it OK.
Watermelon/Blue Raspberry: Here, watermelon is overwhelming, which is less tasty than blue raspberry, so that's a shame.
On the whole, they all are tasty, although I was a little scared I'd choke on them, lol. Still, might as well buy the typical jolly ranchers unless you really love orange (or hate cherry/apple/blue).

According to the package, this cheese and I have a lot in common. Anyway, I got it for my big lasagna, and it did the job there. I'd rate it as "good", at least in ease of grating compared to the parm brick. Very soft, creamy texture. Tastes like cheese. Not a super strong flavor.

These are super weird! The taste is not like a dorito at all, and honestly, not flamin' hot, either! They taste like Trix-lime but with a weirdly sour aftertaste. I love the idea of roulette chips, but I wasn't even sure which ones were the sour ones here -- they just had more powder on them, it seemed. I don't know. I just don't know.
