Q: Do these gummies get stuck to your teeth when you chew them?

When I was a kid I lived a couple of blocks from a Tootsie Roll factory. My friends and I would knock on the side door and they would bring the 3 of us out WARM Tootsie Roll pops. The hard candy shell with the Tootsie Roll in the middle. It was nirvana. We were not allowed to spread the word.
Thank you for reminding me of this really great yummy memory. It was good times back then. Early 64-65...When they opened the door you could smell it. We would go hide by the train tracks. Good times. Great memories.

I grew up around trains - all the best fun was on the "other side" of the train tracks where my friends lived.
@inhawaii Tell them that your gummy candy is so transcendentally delicious that they won't CARE if it sticks to their teeth.

@chapeau-noir There was this door by the tracks that opened up to like a small dirt hill that we would hang out in. I dont know what it was for. The tracks were only about 10 feer or so from it. When the trains went by it was way cool. We had a lot of fun in there hanging with our Tootsie Roll pops. And telling scary stories. Okay I'm going to sleep. Sorry too much information.

@mommaknows I’m totally jealous. I loved those things. Waaaay better than the Blowpops that other kids liked imo.

@iamalwaysright. I get it. But when they are warm it is on a whole different level. I had completely forgotten about it. But I'll tell you one thing, if I close my eyes and think back I can still smell them. Until then my favorite was milk duds and Abba zabba. Good night all. Thank you for bringing me to a happy place.

So what did you tell your potential buyer about whether the gummies would stick to their teeth or not?

In a mild defense for the buyer, Many dentists do not recommend the type of candies that stick to your teeth.

Great question!
A friend visited the other day and asked about candy I had in a dish. I said they tasted great, but got stuck in your teeth if your were not careful. She dropped it like it had stung her.
Did you answer the buyer?

Promoting your products on ebay in the round about way that you are doing by asking pretend questions should not be allowed on this forum.

I guess you will have to pre-chew their package of gummy candies so you can let them know before you ship them!

Like that one SNL skit where the kid doesn’t have saliva glands and the parents have to chew the food for them like a mama bird and spit it in his mouth?

It does seem like an easy question to answer as silly as it sounds.
Did you answer them, or did you block them?
Inquiring minds want to know. 😁

Think on the bright side...potential buyers are on your site looking for something to buy.
Personally...I would block the buyer for a silly question without giving a silly answer.

As a Canadian I like my chicken bones, coffee crisp, and smarties.

You obviously don't get the OP's sense of humor (and he doesn't need to promote his products here).
