Some people say they are the original flavor, and others say they are the new crappy flavor. I want the ORIGINAL. How do I find out FOR SURE what I will get, before I order?

I am only aware of the original flavors. I've ordered these many times from Amazon and it was always the same. They're my favorite candy, so if they were different, I'd know right away. I don't even risk getting anything else or buy other brands, they're all terrible except the Necco brand.

"These are the original flavors", anyone that says there not obviously ordered the wrong product. I grew up with these as you may have also and was highly upset at the change in flavors. Go ahead and order away.

The batch that I received were the original flavor. The white ones are minty, yellow is banana, etc.

My first order of these (5 lb.) was from Candy Crate.com. They ARE the original. In the initial listing, they don't refer to them as "Necco", but they are and it's noted once you click on the picture. I ordered the next batch from Amazon.com. I honestly couldn't tell the difference short of it being a 3 lb. bag. Wonderful flavors--great tasting. Either way will work for you!

We get them already dried / how would we know how much they were originally ? You can ask the seller this question, click on the seller and you will find a contact email . and you can also call amazon and ask how to get ahold of this seller. I will say they are a GREAT price, they are about 1/2 of the cost of what I can buy them for locally and they are delicious.

They actually do not taste good at all. At least not the vanilla ones. I can't imagine the other flavors tasting any better. Our horrible experience making the first batch turned us away from trying the other flavor.

I just ordered and not sure who to email my flavors I would like. I would like two chocolate, one vanilla, and one cookies and cream please.

When I ordered mine several months back there were several flavor options, however my mother just ordered recently and I think the flavor options were limited. If you ask the seller they can let you know which flavors are available.

I haven't tried them all, but I can tell you that so far all of them have tasted like their select flavor. Hope that helps. Choose your "go to" flavor.

Simply taste it. If its gritty then they are old. The flavor notes should be strong and smooth on the tongue. I've purchased these chocolates before and they were wonderful, very good quality.

Hi William, The spice packs that come with the kit are all "original" flavor. I buy additional spice packs and mix them together to make a delicious flavored jerky my son and and his college room-mates love to eat. I usually make a 3 lb. batch at a time using 1 spice pack per pound. So, I make the boys a batch of 2-hot & spicy and 1-teriyaki and I'll make a less spicy batch for my wife and her friends when they go hiking of 2-teriyaki and 1-original. This gun kit works really good and is easy to clean too. I think I remembered writing a review for this item that would be posted by "skoot61". Have A Happy Easter!

It's not your imagination. Been drinking PG Tips for decades (I used to carry it back from Europe in pre-internet ordering days). It is definitely not what it used to be. I've tried several boxes on the assumption I must have gotten a bad batch, but three bad boxes in a row, several months apart, and have sadly come to the conclusion that they changed the blend. Sadness! I'm abandoning the brand.

I just posted on this. There was a posting a few months back that the product was now being made in China and the taste was unpleasantly different. I do not think this was true of my batch, but I was influenced by the comments of others. Look into those early 2013 comments if you feel the need, but if you are not happy with the taste nothing anyone says will make a difference. I would suggest you look around for something else but stay in the Stevia family.

I personally didn't know the formula changed. I subscribe to it maybe every 3 months or so. And had a doubled up order awhile back. And so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Maybe that'll be obvious? If the "flavor" is off or it gets the white crustyness I'll have to look

It's the lemonade/tangerine/raspberry 3 pack - it's the first time I've tried it, so I'm not sure if it has "new improved flavor". I like the lemonade, but not too crazy about the other two flavors.

That is a Good Question, but to tell you the truth, they couldn't be fresher. They taste like they were just produced and if you try these vs what is in the store you will know it hands down and that will no longer be your question. So Fresh, my husband kids me about putting 1 package in a box to send my buyers (I'm a seller on ebay and I give out thank you gifts and a few of these not just one to all my buyers) and then he says 2 for me. 1 For the buyer 2 for me. I think I have noticed too him snitching my bears in my inventory room where we have an exercise bike ;-? Yeah, 1 for the buyer, 2 for me and how many for him is the real question !

It is not too soon to order. They have a six month expiration on them and will actually still taste delicious if used beyond the expiration date. I always order a few extra because my experience has been that a few may arrive broken. Enjoy!

I assume this is the new batch. I had to return my originals and received one of the new ones, about six months ago. Now my new ones have died just as the first ones did.

Agreed. With the very first sip I knew they had changed the formula and used stevia. I HATE stevia. I wasted my $9 because I can't finish the box. I bought raspberry, which used to be my favorite flavor and now I can't stand it. I just saw on their site that they also changed the tangerine flavor. So maybe the original orange flavor would be okay.
