The lightest red one was probably Red Raspberry and was similar to the Black Raspberry one, but perhaps a little tarter. It was sweet and tart like the others and much more perfumed, as raspberries tend to be. The rather lavender looking one was, I think, Black Raspberry. The Blackberry is the only one that seemed opaque, a lustrous dark purple it was tart and fragrant but hardly had a flavor different from the other berries. The Cherry Berry was remarkably similar to the Cherry in the 5 Flavor, but I’m not complaining.
Soft and delicate, it’s just a bit tart and has none of that artificial grape note that I only seem to like in Tootsie Pops and SweeTarts. The colors are a little bland, but I guess when you’re making a dozen different flavors you’re going to run out of primary and secondary colors. The Wild Berry mix held more promising flavor for my tastes: Cherry Berry, Strawberry, Red Raspberry, Black Raspberry, Blackberry and White Grape. I’ll hazard that it’s the same blackberry flavor in the Wild Berries below. I’d tell you about the Blackberry, but this roll had none. It was sweet and had only the slightest hint of a berry flavor to it. Watermelon is a darker green and bears little resemblance to real watermelon flavor but has a nice tart bite to it without that overwhelming fragrance that many watermelon candies have. The Green Apple, the lighter of the two green flavors, is rather mild, not too sour but good overall flavor. I’m not fond of cherry flavored stuff, but I actually find Lifesavers rather acceptable, probably because the flavor doesn’t seem as artificial as many others. The Cherry is just as you’d expect it, great woodsy cherry flavor with a good tart bite. Drat! The candies are much larger than the hard version, they’re soft, if a little greasy on the outside to prevent sticking and are positioned upright on a clear plastic tray inside the wrapper. The flavors in this roll are Cherry (an original flavor), Watermelon, Green Apple, Blackberry and Strawberry. The 5 Flavor variety bears little resemblance to the hard candy rolls that have been around since 1934. I decided to revisit them, especially since they changed the flavors out on the five flavor tray. Lifesavers got into the gummi game a while ago and I tried them when they first came out, but didn’t think much of them. If there were a candy model that Jelly Belly might have gone off of, it was probably Lifesavers - here is a hard candy, a little smaller than usual, but super-flavored and in a huge variety. Lifesavers are known for being highly-flavored hard candies.
