an excellent point, but these caught my eye and i figured what the hell. live a little, eh?

yeah! cautiously optimistic is how i would describe my attitude upon purchasing.


they don't LOOK so bad...but they're tart as f*ck! i know the package says no sugar added, but did they REMOVE the sugar from these rawbs or what? blech!

they're also pretty messy. i got strawberry dust all over my hands. if not for the taste, the powdery trainwreck within the bag would have been my LEAST favorite feature of the snack.

i cannot recommend this product, unless you want to crush the contents into an abundance of tart strawberry dust.

The water dilutes the natural flavor. The dehydrated ones are more dense so you're getting more flavor concentrated on fewer tastebuds. Cool tho thanks Landy

I figure this is the place to ask but what's the name of that cool fruit that makes bitter or sour things taste sweet?

Here's something those doctors don't want you to know... You know those dollar menu items that are such a deal at fast food places? Often times they have TWICE as many calories AND fat as your "healthiest" alternatives.

What a freaking bargain!

Synsepalum dulcificum, or "miracle fruit". Orange juice, Guinness, wine, lemons, and grapefruit are the best according to my scientific research. It works on vinegar, but it makes you feel sick.

but there is that one moderately rare fruit that makes everything taste like jellybeans. what is that called? I heard about it on NPR once because I'm that kind of person.

They're better than a lot of other dried fruits though.
The one thing that bugs me is when there's a ton of sugar added onto them -__-

uh... well, water has no real flavor right? like imagine you have a soup. add a gallon of water to it. it's less flavorful right? it's watered down soup. similarly, if you reduce the concentration of water in the soup, like say by simmering, the flavors get more concentrated.
