Swedish Fish, Red, 5 lbs Bag by Swedish Red Fish

For the most part they taste okay but found a weird yellow thing in a few… so kinda gross

Amazing candies I’m obsessed with them just might buy some more lol.

I picked up the big bag of Swedish Fish mostly for sharing, but that plan didn’t last very long once I actually opened it. Right away, I noticed how fresh they were, soft, chewy, and exactly what I was hoping for. They have that classic texture that’s a little firm on the outside but still gives easily, with that slightly waxy feel that makes them last a bit longer as you chew. The flavor is exactly how I remember it. That signature red taste is kind of hard to pin down, somewhere between berry and raspberry, but it’s not overly sweet, which I actually appreciate. It makes them easy to keep snacking on without feeling like it’s too much. I’ve even caught myself grabbing a few with coffee, which sounds odd but somehow works. What stood out most to me was the consistency. Most of the bag was really fresh and soft, though I did notice an occasional piece that was a bit firmer than the others. Honestly, that slight variation didn’t bother me, it almost adds to the experience if you’re used to this kind of candy. The size is worth mentioning too, these are the larger Swedish Fish, which I like because they have a bit more chew to them and feel more satisfying than the smaller ones. That said, a bag this big goes further than you think; unless you keep reaching for handfuls like I did. I originally planned to share, and I did end up giving some away just to avoid finishing the whole thing myself. As for value, it’s a bit of a mixed feeling. It’s not the cheapest candy option out there, but considering the quantity and how fresh they were, I still think it’s worth it; especially if you already know you like Swedish Fish. You’re getting a lot, and the quality holds up. Overall, it’s exactly what I wanted; classic flavor, great texture, and a surprisingly addictive snack. Just be warned, it’s very easy to go through more of the bag than you intended.

Ate the whole freakin' bag. Delicious. Don't buy these if you have low self esteem...going up two pant sizes will not help you

Simply great!!! Arrived fresh (soft and chewy), tastes great, and everyone in the household loves it. Will definitely order again. Also, love the large bag full. A great deal.
