One thing that makes me a bit leary about purchasing candy online is whether it will be fresh or not... These tootsie rolls are definately fresh and do not taste any bit stale or hardened.  If you've never had fruit flavored tootsie rolls before I'd say the closest comparison is Starburst with the texture of a fresh / chocolate flavored tootsie roll.  I used them to fill up my candy jar at work - these did not last long.
