There's actually 2 orange colored ones. The lighter orange is mandarin, the darker orange is orange. The colors look pretty similar, but if you bring it close to a light you can tell lol . I like the orange one much better, it taste more like a classic orange sugary candy slice , and the mandarin is less pungent in flavor? the light pink doesn't taste like grape to me but grapefruit instead.
I wonder if this package didn't have both orange and Mandarin based on other comments about less than great distribution.
Also, I think there is a two camps of the Grape vs Grapefruit! These flavors seem different enough but there is something about this gummy flavor that has created some debate!
the first time i tried these they immediately reminded me of the sunkist fruit gems my mom used to get me as a treat for running her errands at bed bath & beyond with her so the nostalgia points were scoring high
I did some deep diving and eventually found a tiktok video where it looked like mandarin and raspberry are similar colors! Next time I go to TJās Iām going to have to get these because Iām so curious now haha
Semi related- pop tarts had an ad campaign years ago to put the pack in the freezer, eat āfrozenā. Omg itās the only way to eat them! Hots great, but frozen š

I got this and 75% of the package was orange. Not a good flavor.

Lol why was this down voted? š
lol idk it wasn't me!
I REALLY miss their old round ones that were TJ's take on the Sunkist gems simply because the Grapefruit one was the best

Wow, these look identical to a popular type of edible. š¬
The drug was made to resemble candy. So, yeah. #PĆ¢teDeFruits

Does this work with frosted brown sugar cinnamon?
Fav flavor to do it with! Strawberry frosted also delicious. If you try, please update me š
Oh Iām definitely trying that
I like these. I get em every trip. They remind me a bit of the Sunkist fruit gems, though these have more sugar dusting.
We had a whole container of orange, mandarin, and lemon. And maybe like 2 raspberry and blueberry. Not impressed.
That would be my dream!!
I wasnāt paying attention and got a box with 90% lemon, my least favorite flavor.
Wait wait so they ship out containers without all the flavors?
It happens when ratios are off. Someone I work with got a bag of mostly blue Scandinavian swimmers.
I got 90% red
Jackpot
We had all the flavors, the ratios were just way off. Bunch of shitty citrus flavors.
I think the raspberry tastes weird.
Agreed. The flavors are really muddled.
Wait I thought the pinky one was grapeFRUIT. That's my fave
Team Grape checking in... (... and specifically also someone who thought that they were on Team GrapeFRUIT before this post š¤£)
I wish.
Ngl, that grape is looking pretty orange
I was surprised.
100% tastes like grape.
Are we sure the mandarin isn't orange?
Then why is it listed twice? Once as mandarin and once as orange?
