Sour Bloops
As something you would find in a vending machine, these fill an important niche. They’re like mega-Skittles or fruity Mentos. The flavor assortment is definitely unique.
The name Sour Bloops may be a little pedestrian and unimaginative but the candy certainly lives up to it. Basically they were okay. Green Apple - tangy, with a pretty good combination of apple juice notes and that fake green apple flavor of Jolly Ranchers. Pretty soft and pleasant. The flavor stays with the chew to the end. Wild Cherry - tastes like a red cherry Lifesaver, but much more tart. Flavorful and a smidge medicinal, especially towards the end where I get a little burning feeling in my throat. Peach Lemonade - I haven’t the foggiest what this tastes like, since there were none in my mix. Stick with Mentos or Skittles unless you really need a peach lemonade fix ... which I can’t comment on, as they’re so rare as to not make an appearance in my bag. If you’re stuck with what your vending machine offers, well, this is a far better choice than Garfield’s Chocobites. These candies may also appear in rolls called Chewz.

This is another one of those products that I’ve only seen at the 99 Cent Only Store. These Sour Bloops are billed as “Intense Chewy Fruit Candies” and are made by Lance. Yes, Lance, that company that you makes those bright orange Cheese & Peanut Butter crackers that come in mini-bricks in vending machines. 
Each candy is a rustic looking Mentos, same size, same basic shape.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.The first time that I had Lance Chews, they were made in Holland. I guess that they failed to get the secret when they moved production.
Cybelle, do these contain gelatin?
Hmm, isn’t there some Spree-Skittles hybrid out there? What am I thinking of…don’t think I ever heard of these.
Dave - hmm, maybe there’s an industry of fruit chews in Holland ... like the Detroit of Mentos.
Jennifer - yes, I dug out the wrapper and they do have gelatin and they’re not Kosher
Jeanna - have you had Chewy Sprees?
