Is bigger better?

So I came across Trolli gummy bears last night while shopping at Copps. They really didn’t look that good (read “I didn’t like the packaging”), but when I took a closer look I knew I had to pull the trigger.

1. They were three bags for $3. Smoking deal.
2. They had two sizes. Not two different sized bags, two physically different sizes of bears. The bag actually touts the larger sized Trolli gummy bears as being 4 times larger than their standard sized bears. FOUR TIMES LARGER!

Were the bigger bears better?

I made the purchase and while I’m not 100% certain they’re 4 times larger, they were big, thick and very meaty. The flavor was decent, but there were some things that threw me off:

1. They had a couple of funky, non-standard gummy flavors
2. They were NOT shaped properly. They had funny arms and bad hips
3. The head had an odd texture

In summary, I would buy the Trolli brand again, but not the large ones. Just not right in my opinion.
