As creepy as that Kennedy guy is, I actually agree with him on his mission to eliminate all this stuff, most of which is already banned in “civilized” countries.
@OnionSoup Ummm, don’t look too closely, but the lyrics to the US anthem scan very nicely to the Soviet anthem’s music, and that one is in a singable range for anyone who can carry a tune.
Fuck! I just ordered a bunch of the sour lemon candy, and now you hit me with sour gummy watermelon? I am weak. Gonna have to up my diabetes meds…

@DrunkCat I am so sorry that you are not winning them back. Your comments are really starting to suffer. Maybe you can find a new them on a dating app. Happiness can be just a swipe away.
@rustyh3 Well if you’re looking for broccoli and cauliflower based gummy treats you’ve come to the wrong place. And realistically, there probably isn’t a “right” place to find those.
As for the ingredients in these completely unhealthy, delicious gummy treats, I saw nothing I didn’t expect to see. No arsenic, lead, chromium, soylent green, etc. so I’m in.
That’s… a lot of questionable gummies. If I’m gonna commit to eating 5+ lbs on a road trip, it’s because I’m at the Albanese factory store and they have a good mix in the “oops” bin bags.
@Pony Yeah, these are pretty gross. For the price, Probably should have just gotten some at dollar store or five below. These were definitely not stored properly. The Patriotic Stars (which are so old they’re no longer red-white-blue), have even leaked and stained the box with oil/grease.
But hey, “Satisfaction Guaranteed by 7-11 1-800-255-0711”
@Pony I opened a pack right away, and they were slimy and stuff.
After I let them cool down in my house for a day, they’re mostly okay.
(the watermelon ones are still pretty sticky/slimy, but the stars have become basically as expected)
In short, don’t throw them away until you’ve tried cooling them down first. (then feel free to throw them away if they’re still not good enough, especially if all you got was the watermelon)
@Pony I tried to eat some of the watermelon ones-- Then I got down to some real gooey mess… A sniff revealed they were fermenting and becoming something else.

So begins the dumping of all Red 40 products
@Verkato Oh shit, this does have red 40. And here I was thinking about eating it. I like me some sour gummies.
@Verkato please god let cherry sours be next
@AaronLeeJohnson @Verkato Red 40 AND sorbitol. Gross.

I cant be the only one that read that from the picture as “Patriotic Star Commies”.
The tail on the G is so small and the light reflecting on the U looks like an O.
Please tell me comrades that you also read that as Commies.
/showme Patriotic Star Commies gummy candy
/youtube misheard USSR anthem
Let’s get in the commie Soviet spirit
@OnionSoup affirmative, Comrade.
@OnionSoup I see what you mean, with that font.
@OnionSoup came here to say this
@OnionSoup yep. was also confused for a good moment until I started reading the write-up.
@OnionSoup I thought the exact same thing!
@OnionSoup Ummm, don’t look too closely, but the lyrics to the US anthem scan very nicely to the Soviet anthem’s music, and that one is in a singable range for anyone who can carry a tune.
Finally, 7-Eleven quality without 7-Eleven prices!
Lololololol
@Bigbearballs And they could only beat the 7-11 price by half? That’s pathetic.
The flavor on the stars is just “sour?” Not “sour watermelon” or “sour apple” or anything?
I didn’t think this was possible, but I might be out of touch with 7-Eleven culture.
@sfwineguy Not sour at all – we list this in the specs: “Patriotic Stars (Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry Banana)”
@sfwineguy @troy In the “Our Take” section it says “ Sour gummy stars and sour gummy watermelon wedges”.
@Pony @sfwineguy D’oh - thank you! Fixed that up a bit
@troy That does sound tastier. I really thought it might just be “sour,” and that the write up reflected that.
@sfwineguy it’s sour cream
@Pony @sfwineguy @troy
?? Clearly, they are Sour star flavored
@sfwineguy @troy Strawberry banana? I’m glad I passed on these. (And the watermelon was an autopass.)
@werehatrack So do you even like fruit?
@troy Yes. But not banana. There are historic reasons.
Fuck! I just ordered a bunch of the sour lemon candy, and now you hit me with sour gummy watermelon? I am weak. Gonna have to up my diabetes meds…

Reselling 7-11 branded confection would be dodgy but who cares about trademark these days when “AI” exists.
@DrunkCat I am so sorry that you are not winning them back. Your comments are really starting to suffer. Maybe you can find a new them on a dating app. Happiness can be just a swipe away.
@yakkoTDI k
Why in the world would I want to get this Junk?
@mycya4me Because it is tasty junk.
@yakkoTDI not good enough, already got enough tastey junk food around the place!
@mycya4me Because it is tasty, patriotic junk?
Lost me on Sorbitol both here and SideDeal. Its an intestinal cramper.
Maybe third time’s the charm?
/showme gothic-bawling-hydrant
Can I use these to make a Starcuterie board for my Memorial Day festivities?
@dvshrt No. You won’t get them in time. Unless you’re referring to Memorial Day 2027.
Has anyone read the ingredients? Pass…

@rustyh3 @Trinityscrew I crave sugar, but I don’t want to eat Sorbitol.
Looks like meh bought out a corner store junk food collection with all the food offerings recently.
@Kidsandliz what about the burritos that have been sitting under the heat lamp since yesterday?
@pmarin Warehouse staff ate those.
@Kidsandliz @pmarin Curse those darn staffers!
@Kidsandliz @pmarin @yakkoTDI Don’t worry, I’m sure Troy can find another batch in time for the next 'thon…
That’s… a lot of questionable gummies. If I’m gonna commit to eating 5+ lbs on a road trip, it’s because I’m at the Albanese factory store and they have a good mix in the “oops” bin bags.
Sour Watermelon Commies? Or, you could just cut up some actual watermelon and squeeze a little lemon juice on it…
I’m a sucker for candy, but I can get a bag of store-brand gummy candy from Kroger for a buck fifty. You pay for convenience at 7-11.
Soup watermelon wedges? I need more coffee
And with that, membership canceled!
@ACraigL See you back in a month…
@ACraigL nobody asked
@davidfast You’re welcome!

Corn syrup! Yummm!
@accelerator More like cough syrup. Mine came today and they are horrible. Plus the watermelon is super sticky for some reason.

Average high here for the next week is low to mid 90s. So what I’d really be buying is bags of melty goop.
@ddbelyea And they won’t include a knife to slice the slab into convenient portions.
With that reflection on the package, I’m sure it says “Commies”, not Gummies.
@blaineg Beware the red menace!
If they get gummies or jellies in pink grapefruit, I’ll buy my limit of them - and I’ll have to hide them from my S.O. or I won’t get any.
/showme wasted belated pasta
I got my gummies! 1 EA.
Patriotic gummies are red, white, and… green?
Viva le Mexico!
Or Oman, Burundi, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Algeria, Lebanon, Wales, Madagascar, Basque Country, Belarus, Bulgaria, etc.
@PocketBrain My ‘white’ is a rather disturbing opaque cream color.
Mine are all melted and slimy and disgusting. They’re going into the trash. What a waste of money.
@Pony Yeah, these are pretty gross. For the price, Probably should have just gotten some at dollar store or five below. These were definitely not stored properly. The Patriotic Stars (which are so old they’re no longer red-white-blue), have even leaked and stained the box with oil/grease.

@xobzoo I only ordered the watermelon. They had time to cool down before I opened them and they’re still totally nasty.
@Pony I tried to eat some of the watermelon ones-- Then I got down to some real gooey mess… A sniff revealed they were fermenting and becoming something else.
