Great Individually Wrapped 6 Inch Treats with a Reusable, Recyclable container. High in Sugar and Contains Wheat
My daughter loves these sour straws. I previously purchased a package of 24 packages (each had 18 straws). Six straws is 150 calories and while they make a big deal about being "low sodium," they are high in carbs and sugar. The sugar dose for one serving (four straws) puts you very close to the daily suggested maximum. The packages of 24 contain only one flavor. They seemed to go stale quickly (they may not move from the warehouse quickly) and if you did not eat the entire package, they became rock solid. This is the perfect solution. There are 195 straws and it appears there are equal amounts of four flavors (Blue Raspberry. Cherry, Apple, and Strawberry). Each stick is about six inches is individually wrapped in its own plastic package. It would be great as a party favor or a treat in a student lunch or even for a baseball concession. The box they come in is fairly hard, green plastic (9 x 9 x 11 inches). It is just as shown with a top that lifts completely off, easily. The box might make a great storage container for pens or markers but it is also fully recyclable. The plastic packages allow you to enjoy a treat without ruining a diet or wasting food. Each of the flavors taste just like they should and were fresh. For the allergic or those who prefer gluten-free, this does contain wheat.

Nice to have a crapload in a big bucket
How do you really rate this stuff? I mean, it's sour punch straws. No different than you get in the normal bags, heh. Very yummy. Nice to have a crapload in a big bucket, but I dislike the hassle of individual wraps so I had my assistant unwrap them and put back in the tub. Yes, not quite as fresh over time but I like it that way anyway so it's all good.Plus when you are done, you're left with a container you can repurpose.

Stale, get the 120 count one instead.
I had previous bought the 120 count tub of these, which I can highly recommend, but I believe these 195 count tubs are extremely old stock.There is no expiration date listed anywhere on the packaging, the candy is EXTREMELY hard, as though it was quite old, which is surprising given that candy has a pretty long shelf life. The copywrite date on these tubs is also listed at 2014, whereas the newer (fresher) ones I ordered before this was 2019.I am guessing this is just old stock that has been sitting around, and was clearly made before the manufacturer started adding expiration dates to the containers.

Yummy!
Got these for my boyfriend for Christmas. Sour punch straws are one of his favorite treats. I was worried they’d taste different being individually wrapped. You know how the individual Twizzlers and things taste waaay different? Luckily these tasted exactly like the packs you buy in stores. He ate this entire container in about a week or less (gross I know but he can eat anything and stay little, it’s not fair). In conclussion, you get a ton for your money and they are the same, maybe even fresher, than why you get in stores

Almost went through both cases already!
Got both cases about a week or less after I purchased them. I wasn’t honestly expecting so much candy! I was overwhelmed. Was happy to share some with my work and found out they went through the mounds of hand fulls with in a day. Shame on them. They didn’t even share with the elderly people I work for. Tsk. Tsk, and I still have a lot left over from Halloween! Bottoms up!

Sweet delicious sugar.
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.I become an 8 year old when I get my hands on these things. Every bite is 100% sugar rush. They are a little tart, but addicting. Guaranteed that you will binge at least once per container and end up barrelled over with stomach pains. It is absolutely WORTH IT!

Tub of wonders I tell you, WONDERS!!!
This is a late review, but this was exactly what I needed for Halloween on a budget. I had barely enough for each kid by the end of the night, and only because I was giving about 5 to one kid at a time. I'll get these next year too.
