Peelerz - Five Fruity Flavors

I already spoiled this in my other post, but these do not peel. At all. The exterior gummy is thick, which should make for an easy peel, but center portions are too soft and sticky. They just won't separate. The closest to being "peelable" was the banana, and it's still no where near are clean as White Peach I reviewed a few weeks ago. 

Therefore the peelable novelty of this candy gets a 0/5. 

Taste-wise, things fair a bit better. 

Pineapple - Not sure why the pineapple bag is resealable, but lemon is not. The pineapple-shaped candies have a sweet aroma, similar to really ripe or sweetened-canned pineapple. It's a really lovely and accurate. Attempting to peel this, the soft center is getting all up in my fingernails. Gross. I gave up and ate them as-is, you can kind if peel-them in your mouth, but it's not the same. Flipping one inside-out by hand. the soft inner portion is seemingly the same color as the outside layer, and opaque. Both layers seems to have the same sweetened pineapple flavoring, but the center portion seems to be more potent. The flavoring is kind if like pineapple that's been included in fruit cocktail. It's sweet, almost syrupy, but distinctly pineapple. I like these, they're much more accurate than Haribo bears, but I think you'd get the same delicious flavoring with Kasugai with less mess. So they're quite good, but not great. 4/5

Lemon - The outside has a cute, cartoonish lemon appearance complete with little texture-dots. Again, peeling this was a failure. I ripped it open and the inside was soft, sticky, and a semi-opaque white color. It smells sweet and zesty, like a combination of lemon flavored Italian Ice and Lemon Pledge. It tastes just like it smells, a mixture of Lemonheads and cleaning products. A pretty big disappointment. 2.5/5.

Mango - This one really surprised me. Again, it's completely unpeelable, and the aroma was a little plastic-y, but it tastes delicious. The exterior is thick and doesn't seem as flavorful as the center portion which is extra sweet and juicy. It reminds me of the Mango Mango gummies I really loved from Trader Joe's. They're chewy, sticky, sweet and syrupy. I'd buy these again just to eat them as-is. 5/5

Peach - This is the only translucent in the mix, everyone else had an opaque outer layer. In fact, it looks a lot like the white peach candy I just reviewed. I don't have any of those left to do a side-by-side comparison, but the fact that I can't peel this at all, and that what I can see of the center is pink, I'm guessing these are different. Taste-wise, these are okay. It's a little bit like fuzzy peach rings, mixed with the previous peach gummy. It's okay, I definitely prefer the other one. 3/5

Banana - A lover of all things banana, and tiny novelties, I really looked forward to peeling itty bitty banana-shaped candies. These were the closest to being peelable, but the white center portion is incredibly soft and sticky. It was never going to peel cleanly. It both smells and tastes a lot like Banana Runts, but a little bit tangier and underripe. If you like Banana Laffy Taffy, you'll like this. While I didn't love these as much as I thought I would, they were still really flavorful. 4/5

If you're only going to buy one of these flavors, go with the Mango. It's easily the best of the bunch. But if you're looking for truly peelable candy, look elsewhere.
