YummyEarth Organic Lollipops, Assorted Flavors, 30-Ounce Container Review.
"flavor ratios - NEW and EXCLUSIVE for Amazon (but not for "fulfilled by Amazon")" 2009-10-22
By Rob Wunder (YummyEarth HQ - Ridgewood, NJ)
UPDATED 09-02-10 - We hear you loud and clear, amazon lolly lovers!!! We have changed to an almost even assortment of flavors per 5lb bulk bag and Counter Bin EXCLUSIVELY FOR AMAZON so make sure you are buying from Amazon directly (it will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon" under IN STOCK). Sorry, the assortment is still random when buying this item via a 3rd party, such as DAB Nutrition "fulfilled by Amazon". Please note that the assortment is ALMOST even as compared to a completely random flavor assortment. Your feedback drives this company from ingredient requests and allergy needs to flavor requests to flavor ratios. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you know that we are listening. I am truly sorry for posting this note here with a 5 star review since I do not want anyone to think that we are trying to mislead anyone with a "fake" product review, but I could not really figure out any other way to communicate this to our Amazon friends. Thank you again for your wonderful reviews!
"These are absolutely delightful. MMMMMmmmm! ^.^ -- Worth every penny!!" 2007-04-04

These have become my absolute favorite candy, second only to chocolate! I took a few handfuls to share at work today and all of my coworkers loved them too.
The first positive thing I noticed about these after they arrived is that the serving size is * 3 * lollies, not just * 1 * -- not that I'm advocating overconsumption of candy, but if you have kids it's good to know that they can eat 3 of these without even getting close to a hundred calories!
The Pomegranate and Berry flavors are traditional "red" flavor, only without the disgusting quality that most regular "red" lollies have of being made out of sugar and synthetic dyes. Mouth-watering!
The Lemon flavor is VERY lemony -- so much so that it tastes like you're chewing and sucking on a real lemon, lemon peel included. At times it can be a little overpowering, but if you love real lemon flavor you'll love this.
The Orange flavor is a typical orange flavor but pleasantly so.
The Watermelon is very similar to the Jolly Rancher ( Jolly Rancher Hard Candies, Assorted Flavors, 7-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) ) sort of Watermelon, but much, much tastier, with a very clean finish. It is very much like licking a real slice of watermelon.
The package I received also included a mango flavor, much to my surprise! This, also, is fantastic.
Overall I HIGHLY recommend these. They are well worth the price, the package is HUGE, the quality is excellent, and they're natural and organic to boot!

If you have kids sensitive to food colorings or are just trying to avoid artificial ingredients, these are great treats to have. My children have only recently made the adjustment from commercial, artificially flavored and colored candies. So, they are picky about organic treats. These lollipops have passed the test with my eight children. Their quality control seems to be pretty good (something I don't always see with organic foods), and the flavors and colors are really nice (not boring or tasteless). I keep these on hand to trade for candies others give them that they are not able to eat (due to sensitivities with food coloring).

I bought these for my niece who is autistic and she is on a strict gluten free, dairy free, dye free diet. She loves these! and so do the other kids who are not on this strict diet.

I ordered two of these containers. One for the office and one for home. Everyone raves about the flavors. Needless to say two wasn't enough. I'm in the process of ordering the bags now. These lollipops are simply the best!!!! Yummy Earth rocks!!!
