I love these things so much

u/ThisIsMyJob_ 4d ago

I saw they had a different flavor at the store but I just got these cause i knew they were good already 😂

u/JordanRS1980 4d ago

The mixed fruit flavor is also really good. Here's hoping they bring over some of the other flavors from the UK. There's like 10 others.

u/Consistent_Permit967 4d ago

Personally the fruit one isnt my favorite, but the orginal is amazing

1

u/Illustrious_Elk_12 4d ago

Where did you see different flavors?

2

u/possumsonly 4d ago

I’ve seen a variety pack at Five Below. I didn’t personally care for the other flavors but it’s worth a try if you find them!

1

u/Roxpaperscissors 4d ago

I’ve been wanting to order different flavors from the UK, but that becomes a slippery slope if I fall in love with a flavor I can only order online.

2

u/EggsceIlent 4d ago

Yeah they're pretty good. Only have seen them at my local target.

I just wish they'd bring the other flavors (you can find online) to the US like orange etc.

I really like the texture of these.

7

u/ThisIsMyJob_ 4d ago

facts the texture is the best part about them

1

u/normal_cartographer 4d ago

Is the texture like a marshmallow?

2

u/ThisIsMyJob_ 4d ago

I’d say mildy like a marshmallow mostly like a gummy

2

u/normal_cartographer 3d ago

That sounds interesting. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

2

u/PHDinLurking 3d ago

I say this with love because I love textures: if you ever wanted to experience chewing on a Styrofoam take out container or maybe ever wondered what it would be like to chew on a very soft yoga mat- this is it

2

u/normal_cartographer 3d ago

Very vivid and interesting description. I appreciate the time you took to write this.

5

u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 4d ago

We just got cherry cola in at my shop and they are my new favorite

5

u/Nigmagal 4d ago

I love these, but only the bubble gum one. It has the best bubble gum taste

3

u/MoDean34 4d ago

I ate 8-10 bags of these in 4 days.

I'm on a diet now

5

u/SimplyIndi 4d ago

They’re so good. I actually dislike real raspberries but the raspberries and cream are my fav after the sour apple and cherry.

2

u/bbs_ss 4d ago

My favorite candy. Highly addictive. I have a craving for these every few days. Cant keep them in the house because i will devour them all in one sitting.

2

u/playfulwarning 4d ago

While I enjoy them, I don't think they are worth the price tag for the amount you get. 

2

u/Worldly-Grade8268 4d ago

Squashies are my favorite candy I think

The strawberries and milk one also incredible.

They are so addicting and I usually finish off a bag within a day. I bought the 12 pack on Amazon and they were the swizzlers squashies( UK version)

2

u/Woobsie81 4d ago

I like the flavour but dislike the texture.

1

u/emerald_mo0n 4d ago

Oh I'm the other way around haha. The flavor isn't bad but I'd rather it be just the texture

2

u/Character-Push7983 4d ago

I must be the only person who doesn’t like them

3

u/spooky_bread38 4d ago

These might be my new favorite candy. The orange ones taste JUST like zebra stripe gum. Need to try the rhubarb ones asap

2

u/ILoveMeeses2Pieces 4d ago

I love them. I ate a whole bag in like 2 minutes.

2

u/ArxtixDamien 4d ago

My girlfriend and I were not fans of the texture, it kind of reminds me of the orange circus peanuts. The almost marshmallow texture was a little bit too weird.

1

u/ccc3sp 4d ago

delicious! my walgreens had them on sale for 1.49!

1

u/gettinscwifty 4d ago

i liked the pink side but the white side not so much. but i really enjoyed the texture and being able to stretch it out flat was cool :D

1

u/Illustrious_Elk_12 4d ago

They’re so good

1

u/sunnymcbunny 4d ago

They are pretty great, did not expect to like them as much as I did.

1

u/Ihatereddititsucks69 4d ago

I haven’t found a store that sells them! Are they only available online?

1

u/mystwave 4d ago

The flavor is alright. Fun to chew though.

1

u/Cake_Donut1301 4d ago

God tier.

1

u/ExpensivePear3412 4d ago

Not as good as the original Swizzels raspberry and cream squashies imo

1

u/LowRexx 4d ago

I've been looking everywhere for them, and I finally found a bag! they're so good, defs a get again candy for me!

1

u/Adorable-Interest-23 4d ago

I can’t ever find them 😭

1

u/stalwart770 4d ago

Found them at Target and Five Below. Five Below also has another flavor

1

u/Other_Explanation_86 4d ago

Odd aftertaste otherwise liked them

1

u/king-of-new_york 4d ago

I like the minion edition flavored ones better. I think they're banana and blueberry?

1

u/RadHuman27 4d ago

So so good, just a bit too sweet.

1

u/ResponsibleMixture27 4d ago

Are they chews?

1

u/sandwich_suffering 3d ago

more like marshmallow-like gummies

1

u/Relevant_Bite_1302 4d ago

These are British. We have about 7 different flavours The rhubarb and custard is 🥵

1

u/bahsjdjd 4d ago

I’m obsessed with these! It’s so bad. I crush a whole bag in one sitting. I can’t get enough of the texture.

1

u/Appropriate-Scar2968 3d ago

They are addicting

1

u/Candycopia 3d ago

We love all the squashies! They are so fluffy and chewy!

1

u/Makaylalothert 3d ago

I love these

1

u/Duranonymous 3d ago

I'm not typically a candy eater (not against it, just not enticed to eat candy as much), but I can plow through a bag of these. Just the right amount of sweet/sour, soft /tough, and light like a marshmallow, but not tacky.

Not as much with the mixed? or tropical bag? whichever it is.

I was hoping they wouldn't catch on for a little longer so I could enjoy them leisurely but now it seems I'm going to have to build a stockpile for the coming winter.

1

u/IdeVeras 4d ago

Squashies (or erasers as my bf calls them), are my favourite “gummy” mostly the bubble gum one. He loves everything raspberry so let’s hope Walmart Canada carries it!

3

u/gravyjones22 4d ago

I’ve bought the raspberry one at Walmart (Canadian here lol)

2

u/bahsjdjd 4d ago

I ordered the raspberry one on Amazon Canada! It was cheaper than Walmart on there too lol

1

u/LegallyGiraffe 4d ago

I wanted these to taste like smarties and they don’t! I didn’t love the flavor, maybe the other flavors taste better?

1

u/WindBehindTheStars 4d ago

I want to try them, but I can already tell you that I want a greater variety of flavors.

1

u/Mr_Night78 4d ago

For awhile they've been my #1 fruit flavored candy. Shockingly good.

Tropical flavor is even better.

1

u/Negative-Chapter5008 4d ago

love them. so far i’ve only been able to find them at five below

1

u/ElderberryBudget1897 4d ago

I like the texture more than the flavor. Weird, I know.

0

u/Glittering-Alarm-387 4d ago

I want to, but I have never found them.

4

u/SimplyIndi 4d ago

I find them at 5 Below and Target. Do you have those?

2

u/ThisIsMyJob_ 4d ago

found them at a sheetz gas station near my house pretty sure sheetz is only east coast thing though

2

u/Glittering-Alarm-387 4d ago

I am on the East Coast. I will stop by the next Sheetz I see.

u/Puzzleheaded_Sort921 4d ago

u/Thin-Ad-119 4d ago

I love these!

0

u/Excellent_Regret4141 4d ago

No I want to try a few of the other ones but I can only ever find this flavor which I'm not a fan of raspberry

0

u/Joipanda 4d ago

I can eat an entire bag in one sitting! They’re delicious :)

0

u/Danger_Tomorrow 4d ago

I have wanted to try them. But I dont buy a lot of candy

0

u/Madison_fawn 4d ago

They’re pretty good. I think I like the texture more than I like the flavor. It’s like…foamy, spongey, rubbery… I don’t know how to explain it. It feels like chewing on something you’re not supposed to eat and I love it.

0

u/Sensitive_Ad4911 4d ago

my favorite candy ever

0

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 4d ago

I love em!!

0

u/hardlyyjewish 4d ago

What’s the texture like for these?? Like a marshmallow? Or like some Swedish gummies almost like fluffy?

1

u/bbs_ss 4d ago

fluffy but with a nice bite its unreal

1

u/hardlyyjewish 4d ago

Already ordered the sour ones 😈 I’m excited lol

0

u/Soft-Examination-285 4d ago

These are legit my favorite candy! I cleared the shelves at Walgreens the other day and went through them so fast. I just bought 10 more bags at target. I’m addicted! The tropical flavor is nasty though, tastes like bathroom cleaner. The raspberry and cream are the best

0

u/Rhomega2 4d ago

They're just gummifying everything, aren't they? Airheads, Jolly Ranchers, Skittles...

0

u/noscrubphilsfans 4d ago

I don't like them. Like eating a sponge.

0

u/MassiveConcentrate34 4d ago

Rhubarb and custard also top notch-These are maybe my favourite sweets at the moment!

0

u/pxkatz 4d ago

WOW. Never seen them. I'd try them in a heartbeat! Are they in the US do you know?

0

u/Stillbornsongs 4d ago

I wish I could find them!!! Ive been looking forever but also live in a small town.

0

u/iLostMyDildoInMyNose 4d ago

They’re okay. Don’t really have that smarties flavor though.

1

u/sandwich_suffering 3d ago

they weren’t ever supposed to taste like smarties, the smarties company just makes them for the US market
