But it’s all worth it when you will find the peace of saving animals right. Candies are not healthy for us anyway, no matter how much we deny them. The Chocolate Life - more than just a chocolate blog, this is Clay Gordon's chocolate community with forums & a place for you to blog, too. Blue Raspberry (light blue) - again, mild. I really couldn’t tell it was raspberry specifically, but at least there was no red food coloring aftertaste. The tart bite was completely missing.

Red 4 is a pigment that is derived from beetles. Thousands of beetles are killed for making the red 4 pigments. However, the production does not end with using the beetles only. I’d like to say that I’m reviewing Mike and Ike Berry Blast because they’ve changed their flavors. Honestly, I’m reviewing them because I’ve never actually had them before. Satisfy your Grape expectations with Jolly Joes! Experience the real fruit juice flavour of Jolly Joes chewy, grape flavoured candies. They're grape! Strawberry (pink) - a mild strawberry flavor. Sweet for the most part with a little tangy layer around the sugary shell. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.Blueberry (blue) - I’m rarely fond of blueberry flavored candies, as blueberries aren’t that intense to begin with and are best fresh or in pancakes. It’s sweet and has a bit of an iced tea vibe to it ... nice, but rather bland. It also uses fish glue, gelatin, and egg white. But Mike and Ikes do not use this pigment. Instead, they use the red 40, which achieves its color through strawberries. So it’s vegan-friendly. Is Mike and Ike Berry Blast vegan? Many animals are harmed in this process and collected the gelatin. This also achieves the chewy texture of the candy. This is also not used in Mike and Ikes at all.

Wild Berry (dark purple) - I got only one of these, so it’s hard to make much of an assessment based on that. It tasted a lot like the raspberry, perhaps a little more intense.
