So I bought a bottle of ACV gummies thinking they'd be a healthy addition to our morning routine. BIG MISTAKE. My 6-year-old found them in the pantry and now thinks they're "mommy's special fruit snacks." I caught him shaking the bottle like it's a candy jar. Anyone else deal with this? How do I convince him they're NOT candy without turning him off to them completely?

LOL my husband did the same thing. He grabbed a handful thinking they were those sour gummy worms. He was NOT happy with the taste. But yeah, keep those in a high cabinet or lock them up. Kids are sneaky. Honestly, I'm not convinced ACV gummies do anything anyway. Have you seen real results?

Haha, my dog got into mine once. Not fun. For kids, I'd suggest putting them in a supplement box with a lid that's hard to open. Or just hide them behind the spices. But yeah, the texture is weird - my wife refuses to eat them because they're too chewy. She prefers the liquid. Did you get a brand with a good texture?

I actually love the texture! But I get it. I tell my nieces they're "gummy helpers" for mommy's tummy. They still want them though. Maybe try a different brand? Some are softer. And for results, YES! My digestion improved a ton after a month. Stick with it!
