These are in fact different to the ordinary ones, and as I'm thinking of words to describe, my mouths started watering like a well-conditioned Pavlov's dog. I love these delicious British gummies. If I had to describe the consistency to an American I would say that they are firmer than gumdrops but still chewy with natural tasting flavors. Highly recommend that you try some if you haven't already done so. The major difference (water, water) is that they are in fact softer than the usual variety, and this is an improvement as they can be a little hard. A more recent TV commercial shows a man about to chew on a Fruit Pastille when he is surrounded by medieval people who declare whether he'd chew the pastille or go out on a date with a fair maiden. In the end he has to chew. The commercial concludes with the message "Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles with real fruit flavour. You can't help but chew!"

Can't wait to get these for my son - he's a fruit pastille addict and we can't get them here in Portugal.Fruit pastilles are one of my favorite types of sweet, chewy and full of flavor. I usually prefer tubs to bags as find they can get a big hard and tasteless after time in the bags. My favorites are the purple and green ones but I can easily eat any of them at all times! These classic sweets are a great choice for treat time. And with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, you can feel happy to enjoy these as a fun treat.

Most popular with customers in United States of America (USA), France, Canada, Spain, Germany, Italy, Greece, Sweden and Netherlands, but you can buy Fruit Pastilles Giant Tube for delivery worldwide.
