Candystore.com censors reviews
These are two reviews I left on the candystore.com website that they chose to censor. First of all when packaging 15lbs of candy it should not be placed in a plastic bag that is thinner than a garbage bag. The bag had multiple holes in it and the candy was wet and sticky in spots. I messaged The Candy Store about this which they have choosen not to respond. I poured all of the candy into a plastic tub which it dried out in a few days. However, the candy looks really beat up since it dried and had to be broken apart. No one has got sick eating it and the flavor is more consistent than the time I ordered the large cherry sour balls from The Candy Store. This is the second review they censored from their website on 02/04/24. I tried these because several other reviews mention a comparison to Judson's. I grew up in Texas and was not far from Lufkin where the original cherry sours were made. Overall, about 20% of the bag is really, really good about 15% of them have a funky taste and the rest are OK. There is overall, a lot of inconsistencies in taste and texture. Roughly, 30% of the batch has a powdery texture with no chewy center. The product needs more consistency in the flavor and texture. Until then I do not think the price per pound is consistent with the quality of the product. I will keep shopping others until I find the best cherry sours. Unfortunately, Right now that is a grocery store brand at $3 a pound that a fantastic flavor and texture. However, leaves a funky coating in your mouth for sometime after eating them. Overall, the Candy Stores communication and shipping was excellent. The product arrived four days after purchasing.
