Title: Sugar free sweetener
Product review: First I have eaten a lot of licorice in my day. These Red Vines S.F. black licorice vines were very tasty-little chewier than the regular but still good.That is why the 2 stars. I did e-mail Red Vines about that but did not get a reply. Was eating 4-5 pieces a day-I don't consider that a lot- & then something very strange started happening to my (to put it nicely) tummy. Narrowed it down to the licorice after some Internet research. Found out I was not alone that it was "disagreeing" with me. It does say on the package that it "may have a slight laxative effect" but that wasn't the entire problem. It contains the sugar sub. Maltitol.Side effects are major bloating,gas,more gas,bad gas,gurrgling & strange colored movements-if you get my drift.This may not be the norm-but I have consumed a lot of sugar free products and have never had the consequences that resulted after eating this product. Anybody want my remaining 10 bags?? Don't think I will be having any anytime soon.
