The cherry aroma of the bag is very pleasant. Taste-wise, I would say that these are more akin to fruit snacks than to standard gummy bears. Apparently, only when the cherries are “Enlarged to show detail” do they begin to take other forms. Some of these blobs are close to cherries and few look like what’s on the package. Upon actually opening the package, the gummy cherries lose a lot of their testiclivity and end up looking like misshapen blobs, much like the James Harden Weird Beards we reviewed last year.

The Internet must agree with me as I came across this meme which pretty much sums up my thoughts. A few didn’t see anything unusual, until I told them, at which point it could not be unseen. The answer was mostly “testicles,” with the occasional “butts” thrown in. I polled various male and female friends as to what they saw on the package. They've got the organic thing going for them. I doubt very much that Black Forest intentionally made the cherries look like testicles, but how could no one else working there have seen this? Wouldn’t this have gone through multiple people? Did no employee want to be the one to speak up and say, “Excuse me, these clearly look like balls?” Were people buying them because of their unique shape? Do they subconsciously catch more people’s attention? Their Gummy Worms directly next to the Cherries on the shelf were fully-stocked, even though after seeing the former, the worm shape now seems suspect. This meant they were selling like testicle-shaped hotcakes. Thankfully, that was not the case, as a revisit revealed that they had only one bag left. I feared that perhaps Black Forest was alerted and they had been taken off the market. What was I thinking? Did I miss out on a great, terrible Bad For You opportunity? For weeks, I would check again, to no avail. Was I crazy? Was this some sort of Freudian thing that said more about me? I asked the employee at the counter and he said that other customers have also pointed that out, which meant there were other juvenile adults out there.Īs surprised as I was by the candy packaging, I didn’t purchase them that night – something I heavily regretted later on when they were all sold out. But if you asked the average male teenager to draw a picture of testicles, it would look like 'deez.' There’s a stem and a leaf and everything. I have seen gummy cherries before, but these were no ordinary gummies. A while back, I was in Rite Aid checking out the usual mix of bears, worms and s’ghetti, when I was stopped in my tracks by the packaging of a product I had never seen before - Black Forest Organic Gummy Cherries.

There’s also gummies with weed in them, though not (legally) in Philly.Īs a licensed-and-practicing gummy aficionado, I often frequent the gummy section of the candy aisle. You can get anything gummy: gummy turkey legs, gummy bacon, gummy haggis and even a 26-pound gummy “Party Python.” For your enemies, there’s the infamous sugar-free Haribo gummies which will wreak havoc on their stomachs. In these controversial times, if there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s that 2017 is the best time for gummy-shaped things.
