Zeira's Full Review: Halls Fruit Breezers Cool Berry 25 Each
I first saw Halls Fruit Breezers on a commercial but honestly, I wasn't thrilled enough by the ad to rush out and buy them. Instead I got some in a backpack that I bought at the Calgary Stampede that was stuffed with goodies!
Hubby ripped the package open right away and I told him I didn't think it was a good idea, since the children shouldn't be taught to pop Halls like candy.
He smiled and showed me the ingredients. Sugar,Glucose, partially Hydrogenated cottonseed oil,Citric acid,Pectin, Malic acid, Potassium Citrate, natural and artificial flavour and colour. Wow, no signs of anything dangerous...unless you are diabetic maybe...
Each candy is individually wrapped.The resealable bag contains 25 throat drops. The flavour we recieved was Cool Berry.
So, we let the kids try them and as far as they were concerned, they were great.
Personally, I'm still the skeptic. I don't think they taste like a candy...The words candy throat drops printed on the package still worry me. Luckily, if I really wanted to find out more than the ingredients or the individual nutritional information per candy, which is 14 calories per candy I could call the 1-800 number which is printed on the package, as well.
The taste I was expecting, Cool Berry, had more of a citrus after taste to me. Sure it's pretty, red with white stripes, but if I want a candy to sooth my throat, I may be just as well off getting some peppermint hard candies from some of the restaurants that we eat at.
I just am not sold on it. It may be implanted in my head somewhere but it still seems to taste...well, like a muted halls with a kick of sugar.
I can't see myself in the future buying Fruit Breezers. At least not while there are so many other hard candies out there.
I have to admit, for those who are curious, I did not nor did anyone in the family have a sore throat...Nor do we have jobs that require a lot of talking that may require a candy to soothe our throat, however with that being said, my throat didn't really feel different in any way.
