Astra Sugar Free Cola Bottles Sweets, 1 kg

Love these as taste is good. However, they do have a strong laxative effect if you eat too many!

These are as they state and are fine . No fancy packaging, but that’s not really needed

They do taste pleasant and have a very genuine "gummy" consistency to them. I don't know how "sugar free" they are, but they don't seem to push my sugar levels up much. either way they have a good flavour and mouth feel, certainly you wouldn't guess they're sugar-free from eating them. Keep in mind, though, that "Sugar Free" is not "Calorie Free". I've not particularly noticed a laxative effect, but perhaps I'm fortunate because others reviewers clearly have.There is one thing you definitely need to know. I can't really call this a downside because - depending on your character and disposition - this could either be achingly funny or deeply distressing. These things... well... they'll make you fart. Not just a bit. I've never know a product that causes such tremendous, trumpeting, voluminous, horns-of-Jericho-at-full-throttle farting. Kids will doubtless love this and consider it a wonderful side blessing to the benison of these delicious sweets, but it'd be a brave person who went to the office after consuming some and a downright idiot who chose to venture near any form of naked flame. They're not particularly odoriferous but are unmatched in the known universe in volume, timbre, frequency and duration. If you do buy some - and you should because they're delicious and relatively healthy to everything but interpersonal relationships - it's safest to share some, not least to be able to deflect blame or, at least, share in the joke.You get a big bag for not much money. I suggest you don't eat many at once so they're really good value, too, so you can afford to share the fun. Or the shame.

Like them as sugar free as a wee treat,BUT Be Warned, limit your consumption to approximately 10 sweets at a time OR you will pay the price!!!!!You may have a colonic clearout come on suddenly (as I've just found out), these sweets come with a laxative effect warning.Tip,These sweets are not for children's consumption!

Taste good and great substitute for regular sweets. However the side effects can be extreme. I would rather do without.

Best thing to get diarrhea with by far. Don't eat too many if you have any plans for the day.

I read the reviews having been tipped off by a friend who is a GP.My mother in law had constipation lasting several weeks on and off. Macrogol (a strong prescription laxative) wasn't working and her discomfort meant my father in law was suffering.I had these sent to the in laws. Mum in law are ten. Farted about an hour after eating them and the next day voided her bowels and felt much better.Dad in law is diabetic and over the moon they're sugar free.Must have stunk in the house...

Don't eat to many, gave me bad guts.
