Maynards Sour Patch Kids

I thought I'd give these Maynard Sour Patch Kids a go today, as they're seems to be a huge hype surrounding them!
Sour Patch Kids originate from America and are a big hit over there, and it seems like Maynards have decided to capitalize on this craze and do their own take on these jelly sweets here in the UK.

 I decided to buy the smaller 45g bag of Sour Patch Kids from my local Co-Operative for 49p, instead of purchasing the larger 160g  bags for the introductory price of £1.50. Each small bag consumed contains 145 calories, whereas in the larger bags, 1/3 of each bag consumed contains 175 calories.

There are 5 different flavours of Sour Patch Kids, which are lemon, lime, orange, raspberry and blackcurrant. However, as shown above they are only 4 of the flavours. This is due to they're being NO blackcurrant flavoured jellies in my bag, which I was pretty miffed about as blackcurrant is my favourite flavour!

The slogan for these jellies is 'sour then sweet' and I can definitely agree with that as they started off slightly sour before fading into a sweet fruity after-taste. In my opinion I found the lemon flavour the most tantalizing with the other flavours leaving much to be desired, however the amount of sugar in the packet did put me off a bit.

Overall, these sweets didn't overwhelm or amaze me. I felt there was too much sugar in the bag and was greatly disappointed over the fact that there was no blackcurrant flavoured jellies in my packet.
However, they are nice sweets and are not as overly priced as they're american counterparts are on Amazon and other online selling sites....so I would definitely recommend them to people to try!

Maynards have now also brought out a 'soda popz' version of Sour Patch Kids. These jellies taste of different 'pop' flavours instead of the original 'fruity' flavours. Flavours include; Cherryade, Cola, Apple, Tropical and Orangeade. So maybe these will taste better than the original Sour Patch Kids? Or will they be worse?
What did you guys think of Maynards Sour Patch Kids?

Would I buy them again? YES....for the right price.
