Do they taste chemically? Leave a weird aftertaste?

I really couldn't say, I've been drinking diet drinks all my life so don't notice it. They are made with splenda. I usually use a small amount for the flavor and if I want it sweeter I add splenda or truvia. Sorry I can't be of more help. They do have a strong flavor in my opinion so doing what I do can work if you think there is an aftertaste...use just a little for flavor and then sweeten with the sweetener you prefer.BTW I owned a coffee shop and do prefer Monin but they only come in glass bottles and are much more expensive. They have more natural ingredients but I don't find the flavor as strong. So for sugar free use Torani. I really couldn't say, I've been drinking diet drinks all my life so don't notice it.

I personally do not taste a bad after taste. I believe does have some kind of sugar substitute but doesn't seem to leave an aftertaste like aspartame does.

No, the Torani syrups I purchased from Amazon tasted the same as Torani syrups I have purchased elsewhere.

Yes if you drink them in coffee with no creamer or by itself. I don't notice a weird after taste when I use them for baking or flavoring cream cheese.

I do not taste a chemical aftertaste but the flavor is not very strong. You have to use more than another brand I tried.

No I don't think they taste chemically at all, and they do not leave a weird aftertaste. I have only used them in coffee. I love them. I have ordered them several times

In my experience they did not leave a taste in my mouth. I took them in pill form and with food.

Not that I have noticed. I take them with other vitamins (Animal Pak) and those seem to have more of an aftertaste. I also take them in the morning with a protein shake after working out, so that may contribute to not tasting the supplement.

Nope, tastes just fine. I am sure if you left it in there for several days at a time it might? But I never did so I am not sure about that.

No, these capsules are soft, yet thickly coated to contain the liquid within; so there is neither an odor or a noticeable taste. They are, however, fairly large.

They are kind of "berry sweet," a natural flavor that doesn't overcome the meat. I know that is not as direct as Mike's answer but I am going by the flavor. Your after taste will be the meat, not the sweet.

I don't remember how mine looked, but I do remember, how good they tasted. As a matter of fact, will order some more!

Hello, I didn't have any aftertaste and yes, they are easy to swallow. The capsule is a regular size, not those big ones. Hope this helps.

Yep, they use Splenda. I use them in latte and mocha concoctions and don't have any issues with after taste.

They DO NOT! My 12 year old and my 9 year old will not eat them. I thought they were exagerating and then I tried them. I nearly puked. These have a horrible taste to them and a chemically aftertaste. I am buying the basic Animal Parade again. Sorry, no GOLD for us!

I'm gonna say no. I can't say for certain because I drank them daily and then stopped for years and then ordered a case again off Amazon and it tastes as good as I remember it. Any change in flavor I think was strictly psychological and nothing to do with the ingredients. But that's just my opinion.

I guess it depends on what you child is used to. I do think they have changed them somehow recently. My son used to like them and now he does not. The most recent bottle tastes different from what the previous bottles tasted like. I have tried them my self and can attest to the change in taste. It's an aftertaste that is a bit unpleasant really. They are really go vitamins.

supposedly no, but they are not of a good taste. They have some preservative added to maintain the color and chewy texture

They kind of taste like silicone, not in a bad way though. It lessons over time.

I would return them. There shouldn't be a smell or a strong taste. Ours have none.

I've been told they have a taste similar to alcohol - like a harsh cleaning product. I would recommend using this product well before any "magic happens".

No aftertaste. It is so sweet it takes extremely tiny amounts to sweeten things , so be very careful measuring.
