FirstChoiceCandy Jawbreakers (Psychedelic Bruiser 1/2 Inch, 2 Pound)

I love these. Wish they were a lil bigger but wanted to try the micro size. Surprised on the mint flavor tho. Should be in the description that they are mint flavor. Luckily its a light mint taste which i can handle. I do love em tho. The middle is prolly my favorite.

I dont know what these people are trying to make up to hurt the business but this stuff is really good.

As some other reviewers have pointed out, the quality of these jawbreakers has sadly dropped a truly drastic amount as of recently. I've been regularly (and happily) buying the 1" version for the last few years, but while in the past they've been the perfect item to satisfy my sweet tooth over the course of the hour or so they used to last, I have to assume some major change was made between my last order in January of 2023 and this new order from November 2023: maybe the formula was changed to cut costs, maybe there is a new supplier, etc. But whatever the reason, the outcome is an inferior product in every single way. The newest round of jawbreakers has almost no flavor, the powdery center grew from being slightly larger than a bb to now taking up about 1/4 of the jawbreaker's interior, which also results in a jawbreaker that lasts less than half the time it used to. And again, I really want to emphasize the total lack of flavor, especially compared to the vastly superior version that used to exist. And of course it is a non-returnable item, so here I am stuck with 2 bags (10lbs) of jawbreakers that I bought assuming that they were the same high-quality ones I've enjoyed for years. I'd give them 1 star, but since they *technically* are jaw-breakers I'll give them 2. Edit: adjusting to 1 star...they are just that disappointing.

These are like the jawbreakers I ate as a child

If you are not familiar with these then you may not like them. The first layer isn’t flavorful at all and gets bumpy scratching your tongue. The rest of the layers are subtly flavored. I have no idea why I enjoy these other than they keep my mouth busy. They don’t seem to last as long as I recall. The overall price is good for the amount. I will definitely be sick of them before I run out.

EDIT 2: turns out the seller mixed multiple brands into one batch to repackage as Sconza brand. There are indeed genuine 1" Sconzas in here (photo in plastic bag), but there is another cheaper jawbreaker mixed in with only three colored layers. Maybe an honest mistake, but now I am wary of repackaged candy (vs retail packaging) _ I couldn't really notice any blatant change in flavor as I progressed through the layers. Seemed to be the same "generic jawbreaker sweetness" all the way through. Overall flavor wasn't too strong. Certainly not the jawbreakers I remember as a kid. Very small core, so it lasts longer than others. Core flavor was interesting; odd tartness at first, but finishes sweet. Admittedly I was expecting better because the packaging discloses the brand as "Sconza". They made the MEGA BRUISER jawbreaker, which was excellent with distinct flavors as you hit each layer. I guess you gotta go bigger than 1" for that tier of quality. EDIT 1: I don't think these are genuine Sconza jawbreakers. These have fewer layers (even as 1" size) and do not taste the same. No real guarantee of brand without the retail packaging like the 1/4", 2", or 4" Bruisers. I just had a bad experience with another seller's "Psychedelic Bruisers" that genuinely had no flavor (I thought the negative reviews were exaggerating!) These were OK, but taste nowhere near as good as Sconza jawbreakers that come in retail packaging. I don't trust bulk repackaged jawbreakers on branding anymore ("Time Bombs" repackaged by SweetGourmet and "Kaboom" 5lb bulk bag were both genuine, though).

Fresh and very yummy! Great flavor. Very additive.

Good choice, may order more.
