Saure Gurken (Sour Pickles ) Tub -150 pcs

Haribo, of course, is the go-to manufacturer of quality gummies. Having never before encountered their Saure Gurken before, I decided to try them. What a delight they are! They arrived in an undamaged container and are clearly fresh, the consistency being the perfect moisture/elasticity balance. Best of all is the slow buildup of "sourness". The longer you bite them, the sourer they taste! Absolutely addictive. Inferior products start with a bland rubbery base which is then dredged in the flavored sugar. Not the Saure Gurken! One piece of advice for those seeking "true pickle flavor": You WILL be disappointed. The name refers to the gummies' shape and their tub-like container. These do not taste of salt, vinegar, salt, garlic, dill etc. Just as gummi bears aren't bear-flavored, either...

These are from Europe. Flavor isn't overpowering. I thought these were sour but it is a sweet candy.

These are supposed to be sour pickle gummies. Nope, nope, and really stale gummy part - yes. There is very little that could be considered 'sour' - NO pickle flavor at all and the gummies were terribly stale. So disappointed. I carefully inspected the plastic tub they came in to see if it was open before I opened it - it was not opened - but these flimsy tubs are notoriously not air tight - so that MIGHT be the explanation for the stale part - but the total lack of flavor - short of sugar. Cannot recommend these to anyone. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

They were a little too chewy for me which is saying a lot because I tend to like more chewy candy. The tub lasted me months and kept good freshness the whole time. I prefer the Haribo Strawbs over these. What I did like is the better ingredients on Haribo's European offerings. I wish they would do better for the American audience like natural colors and flavors. At least we can get them here on Amazon

I love these. They were a little old and a bit hard, but I still love them. Not cheap though!

I saw sour, saw pickle was a little nervous to be honest. But I do like sour and pickles can be tasty so I figured I’d try them. Now I am mildly disappointed, these are not sour, and do not taste like pickles. They are ok, kind of a softer wine gum with lack luster flavour.

I used to have this candies when I was a kid growing up in Germany. Not able to find them for years, then of course Amazon sells everything. Once I cracked open the container and bit in to my first one, in brought back instant memories of when I was a kid. You won't be disappointed in the taste/flavor of these candies, but of course....I'm biased. UPDATE: While I can't speak for the other folks in this rating area, I've bought these 7 times from Amazon and never have I had the container broken, cracked or open in any way when it arrived.

They’re pickle shaped, not pickle flavored. They don't have the slightest hint of sourness. They’re hard, not break your teeth hard, but significantly harder than other gummy candies Ive had. They’re less sweet than other gummies so I like that. I enjoy eating a couple of them at a time, but the bad review is for them not being sour at all.
