Talk:Wine gum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My wine gums (bought in Canada) say nothing about animal gelatin. They say they are made with corn starch gelatin... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.81.249.7 (talk • contribs) 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Availability

This article should also discuss the availability of wine gums in addition to their popularity. i.e. the fact that they are nearly impossible to find in the united states etc.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smittywerbenyeagermanjenson (talk • contribs) 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• I'm in Florida, and I went out and got some today. Try looking online for a British or Scottish (or other Commonwealth) gift stores or groceries, or any other European ethnic groceries, butchers, or gift stores. One such store in my area does mail order as well. Durty Willy (talk) 01:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Continental wine-gums

The article is missing the difference to continental wine-gums, which are harder and more chewy than "English wine-gums" like Basset's. Carewolf 14:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Funny, the majority of wine-gums in Denmark are typically somewhat softer and less chewy than English wine-gum such as Basset's. Think gummi-bears, just in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Sakkura 11:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gummi bears

How do these differ (if at all) from Gummi bears? Badagnani 21:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, for one: they take exponentially longer to chew. You can easily eat over 200 Gummi bears in 25 minutes, I've only gone through about 3 Maynards Wine gums in the same amount of time. Eating an excess (usually over 1 roll) of Wine gums has a constipating effect. Ah well, back to chewing my Wine gums.. --MaXiMiUS 03:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

• The texture and flavor are significantly different than Gummi-anything. For those who live in USA, think of Jujyfruits, only with somewhat subtler and more complex flavors. Worth the effort to hunt down, try looking up British (or Scottish, or other Commonwealth) groceries or gift stores. Durty Willy (talk) 01:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
