The taste is pretty much the same. What's different is the texture. Reeds are hard more taffy like where Gin Gins are like gummys soft gum drop like

I like Gin-Gins better. They are more "ginger" flavorful. The softer consistency allows the ginger to induce more saliva . . . and that's part of the idea of better digestion.

I vastly prefer Reed's. I find Gin Gins too sweet. The Gin Gins may be a little softer, but not much, in my opinion.

Personal opinion but the Gin Gin's are not as good as the Reed's Originals.

They are the same product, right down to the sizes of dies it takes. The main difference between a Big Shot and a Big Kick is the colors and the handle. Look at the black/pink Big Shot and the new turquoise Big Shot. See how the handle is attached? Then look at either the blue or brown Big Kick. Its handle folds away with a hinge. Also, the plastic mold each is cast from are slightly different in shape and looks. Sizzix originally marketed the Big Kick for big box craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joann's, etc., and the Big Shot for smaller, independent retailers. You might have noticed that internet sales have shot that idea to smithereens, LOL. If color/shape is extremely important to you, get the one you think is the most aesthetically appealing. If you could not care less about that and price is the only consideration, get the cheapest one you can find. Sizzix has excellent customer service and stands behind all versions of their die cutting machines. I went with the Big Shot myself because I thought the hinged handle of the Big Kick would be more likely to break sooner or later on account of the natural stress points at the hinges. I also got it at an excellent price. Right now since the introduction of the turquoise Big Shot, I am seeing some really great prices on the black/pink Big Shot and the Big Kicks in brick & mortar stores where I live because they are putting those older models on clearance. My housemate just got the brown Big Kick at a local store for $51 at a huge sale. It works just as well as my Big Shot. I really need to write up a product review... I guess I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this being such a good product, LOL.

I too am MSG intolerant. I have been consuming these bars for over a week and have not gotten migraine. Not sure what the "natural flavors" are, but these bars haven't bothered me so I doubt it if MSG... although, I too, like you, am VERY wary of vague ingredients like that.

Very Sorry, I have never tried the Tonno Tonic product you mentioned, so have no way to compare them.

I found Organo Gold Cafe Supreme more on the McCafe for taste comparatively; definitely enjoyed it. I like the Gourmet Black more for the effect, you know Organo Gold has some positive herbal effects; of course everyone may experience it differently. I keep coming back for more.

I have used them both. Although Charlie's is fine, I think Nellie's performs better!

To me, erythritol tastes just like sugar, and I am quite picky with my tea sweetener. I do not like truvia....and I can tell if it is in anything. I cannot taste erythritol. I know people vary greatly in this though.

Every product I have tried from this company has exceeded my expectations. I really don't have a reason to try anything else. I have purchased TA and Nettle, Horney Goat Weed (be careful ;) ) and a few other products. They seem to be the purist and they work. And as far as I know they were pretty much scientifically first on the market. I've Never Tried TA from any other company. Just make certain it is pure and not mixed with other types of ingredients. If that is the case give it a try. Then give this a try. That is pretty much the only way to know for certain. Also make certain that they aren't selling you a product that has a smaller investment price yet makes you take more pills. If You need to take 6 pills instead of 2 pills then it is not worth it. the only selling point I see on their page is where it is sourced from. I can't remember where this product is sourced from at the moment. But I am pretty certain it is free of all the pesticides and chemicals as well. It would be hard to prove this is true for either company. Still they are Extracting a particular portion of the plant in a sterile environment, supposedly. Which would make the growing process a non issue if they are truly only giving you a pure extract, then nothing else is in it. So I think either one is worth a try. It looks as though NLA also has 1:200 And it looks as though the prices are competitive. Conclusion: Try Them both, they both seem to be good companies, although I don't like the tactic of New Life trying to bash other brands or act holier than thou on their page. This type of extraction science is not new, it has been around for a very long time. And I would guess that SD-200.com has been at it a lot longer and whenever possible have refined their process to give the best product. That is my take. SD-200 won't fail you.

I've read the closer you stay to the original, kosher, the better the effects, and that is the Sambucol recipe. From research I have done in the past, and reviews I've read, I concluded that Sambucol is better than Sambucus, because the company making the latter has changed the extraction method, and many people feel it is less effective than Sambucol. Experience seems to be this way also.

I like Bigelow's regular green tea better. Also, this organic tea actually made me have issues with coughing while drinking it. The regular kind from the stores does not cause me this same issue. I tried stopping and starting repeatedly. Always the same issue.

Goof Off works a little better than mineral spirits. Has the same ingredients, but contains something else that works better.

Shannon: I returned this particular order of this candy because they seemed different from the other "original" Reeds ginger candies purchased elsewhere.

The juice is pastuerize, and the herbal is of course is a solid that desolves in your digestive system, but they both are from the cactus of the desert. So you can probably do a little more indebt research on wilkapedia or goggle. So in a since it is, just less expensive.

Never brought the whole organic but I highly recommend Frontier' line of herbal teas. About to make my afternoon brew. Cheers :-)

Depends on your machine. For our purposes (Band in Los Angeles) swamp juice has lasted WAY longer than other brands. The fog is much thicker, too, so I have set the timer on ours to about half what it used to be.
