Hey all, need some opinions on these Emergen-C gummies. I've been taking them post-workout for immunity boost, and I'm obsessed with the orange flavor - tastes like candy but without the guilt! But the tangerine ones? Ugh, they have this weird aftertaste that reminds me of cheap medicine. Anyone else feel this way? What's the consensus on the 'best' flavor for my next purchase? Don't wanna waste money on a whole bottle if it's gonna be gross.

IvyIron, I give these to my grandkids (the adult ones, of course - they're 20 and 22) and they both love the raspberry! Says it's the most natural tasting. I've tried all three flavors myself, and I agree - raspberry is the winner. Tangerine is a bit too tart for my liking, and orange is okay but artificial. At our age, we need that vitamin C, but no reason it can't taste good! My advice: go with raspberry next time.

As someone who's constantly juggling meetings and barely has time to eat, I keep these at my desk. Honestly, I rotate between orange and tangerine - keeps things interesting! Orange is reliable and sweet, tangerine is more zesty and wakes me up during afternoon slumps. Haven't tried raspberry yet, but based on MountainMike's review, might give it a shot. Maybe buy the variety pack if they have one? That way you can test without commitment.

Thanks for the input! MountainMike - raspberry sounds promising, especially if it's more natural. MindfulMila - good point about variety, but I'm a creature of habit lol. Might just stick with orange since it's my safe bet, but I'll keep an eye out for raspberry reviews. Anyone else tried all three and has a strong preference?
