Albanese Candy, Sugar Free 12 Flavor Gummi Bears, 3.5 oz. Bag, Pack of 12

TLDR: Pricey but the best sugar free gummies I have ever had, and honestly, one of the best gummy bears I've ever had, normal sugar included! The ONLY con is the cost, but that's why they taste so good - they're not cheaply made. ----- First of all, they taste amazing. I swear, you could put them in front of anyone and they'd never know these weren't anything other than really good gummy bears. Secondly... (probably a little TMI coming, so fair warning) but, I deal with pretty bad constipation normally, so I wasn't too worried about the gastric side effect some people have when consuming these or products made with these sugar substitutes in general. I was partly right. As I predicted, they didn't give me diarrhea or really change my bowel movements in any way. Still just as constipated haha. The only side effect I got was increased gas. That said, I'm talking *extremely* increased gas, lol. TBH I'm just not a gaseous person in general; I don't fart much at all. But when I eat them, these things have me farting *constantly*. And of course the more I eat in a short period of time, the worse the gas gets. Thankfully there's no smell and it's just me on my own, so I don't particularly care. It doesn't really affect my day much, but it can be annoying if you're out or with people. I'd suggest that if you know you're going out that day, maybe just don't eat them that day, or only take a couple. (If you're more sensitive to these than I am though, just don't take any, lol.) Anyway, that's it, really. I definitely recommend these. I mean, I don't even care about the sugar free part of it - they're that good that I'd still recommend them to any gummy bear-lovers. Now that I've had these, I'm definitely going to try a few others they have. When I ordered these, I also ordered sugar free gummies from another brand that also has near 5 stars. I tried those first and hated them so I was really worried these would suck too, but nope. It's good though, now I know which company I'm going to stick with, haha. Farts be damned! 9/10, will do again. As I said in the beginning though, it does have ONE con, and that's its quite high cost for such small bags. But then again, that's why you get the quality with these, rather than the crap from the others.

looks good

These delicious, fruit-flavored yummies Will fill you with air from your tummy. Though this Albanese Breeze(tm?) Might bring you to your knees It's a small price to pay for these gummies.

Good quality and have re-ordered.

Fortunately I'm not one of the people who seem to have issues with the artificial sweetener in these, so that's good. I knew I was taking that risk, but I think people with that problem are in the minority, they're just the ones who are likely to comment about it in their review? Anyway, I took a chance and so far, so good after a couple bags of these. Portion control might be key. It says one serving is 9 bears so I stick to that as a daily allowance and I haven't had any problems. I guess if I downed an entire bag I might think differently. The taste of these are pretty good. I haven't noticed any odd flavors like with some other sugar free candies of the chewy variety (looking at you, sugar free red vines!) and my family members I've shared these with tell me the same thing and actually took some bags I offered them. So, if you're worried about the effects of the sweetener but you aren't sure, there's only one way to find out. Try your dose of 9 gummi bears when you're not going to be worried about potential digestive side effects, and see how it goes. Note that I also haven't had issues with xylitol, sorbitol or maltitol either which are other sugar substitutes so I'd say that if you know you have issues with either of those as well, maybe you'll have a problem with erythritol and you'd do well to avoid this unless you just really want to find out for sure.
