Sambucus Elderberry Gummies, 60 Gummies

We’ve been ordering these elderberry gummies since 2019, but have technically been consuming since before then (my sister, also a loyal customer, got us into these before that). They were AMAZING! My husband is super picky, and even he was obsessed and got his male friends into them. A few months ago, they arrived looking very strange and extremely melted, so we just assumed it was because of the summer heat. We did get reimbursed for those (thank you), but then realized that all new bottles look suspicious, and they have an added tag that says, “Great New Formula.” Well, we just finished up our stock of the old gummies, and tried these new gummies for the first time. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! The texture is no longer gummy (and no longer a soft texture consistently thru), but have a weird, harder texture that seems melty on the outside and harder on the inside. The taste is no longer delicious, but literally tastes like Play-Doh. We immediately unsubscribed from our monthly subscription, and regret that we still have some of these gross bottles that we now have to finish. Why on earth did you switch the formula in terms of taste and texture!? Did the others have bad stuff added that you removed!? So sad to have to move on from a gummy we’ve loved since before 2019. If you go back to the previous formula, let us know, otherwise, we are going to buy local elderberry syrup or just start making our own syrup. We went from 100% recommend to 100% do NOT. Save your money and support local instead (or make your own).
