I can tell you for a fact those reviews are correct. I bought 5 lbs of S/F Swedish fish and holy hell, it was like a prep for a colonoscopy.
Swedish fish. All I can say is that I can still see the Walmart receipt my wife found in my son's pants pocket over a decade ago. I think he was in 10th grade. I probably have the prices off somewhat.
