💡 What's interesting

The unique texture and sour-then-sweet flavor profile are a result of the gelatin-based belt structure and a heavy coating of citric acid and sugar. Nutritionally, they are a classic example of 'empty calories,' providing quick energy with no other nutritional benefits, and are often enjoyed for their playful, interactive form.
