Review: Rowntree's jelly tots

Where do i start, hmm, ok, i'll start here; So my mothers boss was raised in England, but when she was old enough (i honestly don't know when, i really don't know that much about her) she for some reason moved to usa. I really dont know why someone would actually want to move from a great country, to a lame country, well at least to the state im in, this place should really win the "most boring place on earth" award. Omg i could write a whole post about how boring this country is, but im supposed to be writing a review on jelly tots. SO ANYWAYS... My moms boss travels there for about two weeks twice a year. The first few years (when i was vegetarian) she brought me British smarties (as some of you know, are more like m&m's rathter than the vegan sugar tablets us Americans are used to.) But the last few years (ironically, the first 2 years i was vegan) she stopped getting them for me. But then this year she asked my mom if i wanted anything while she was there, so i went to peta uk's website and looked at the list of all the vegan sweets and candies and just chose whatever my cursor landed on,

2 weeks later...

My moms boss is back and my mom brought them home so i could start reviewing.

NOW ONTO THE REVIEW

The first thing i notice is that the package is made of a grocery bag like plastic, but a little thicker.
Then i noticed that they are made with no artificial colors or flavors (and by the packages picture, they look just as bright as american gummies)



So i open the bag and a burst of fruity scent hits me. The actual jelly tots were about the size of the tip of your finger. And the taste? You could ACTUALLY taste the real fruit flavor, and they didn't taste like that toxic artificial flavor crap.
These things tasted so much better than any american gummy i have ever tasted. Omfg, WAKE UP AMERICANS!! UK MAKES THEIR CANDY WITH NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS OR FLAVORS AND ACTUALLY TASTE BETTER THAN AMERICAN CANDY!!!





Now the candy tasted good, but i think it said there were 11 grams of sugar per serving and that there were 8 servings in the whole bag! And i think  most people will eat the whole bag (including me) so i will lower the final rating A LITTLE

So since they are so far the best vegan gummy candy out there but has 88g of sugar per bag, i will have to rate jelly tots 8 stars

***************************FINAL RATING - 8 STARS*******************************
