Love Xlear products
Sparx candies are truly a guilt-free treat! Natural colors and flavors, a convenient container to carry them in, what's not to love? Sweet and tasty, great for the teeth, a great way to pacify my sweet tooth without promoting cavities. Since I started having xylitol candy throughout the day, I have not had any new cavities! 3 years now! They're great when I feel sleepy on a long driving trip, too. They don't have caffeine or anything like that, but the very low glycemic number that xylitol has, apparently, gives me a mild energy boost that keeps me more alert, compared to other higher glycemic snacks that I used to consume. And did I mention how great they are for my Grandchildren? They just love them, and I love knowing I'm possibly helping their teeth, too! I love the Spry mints, too!

What a great find.
The pack comes with 3 different options - citrus, berry, and fruit. The package arrived quickly and the flavors are good.I always wondered why tic tacs have never made a sugar free (tooth friendly) variety. Well this product is just what I was looking for, and it is a great alternative to always having to chew gum after meals. We all know that eating sweets with no sugar is better for our teeth, but I was looking for Xylitol specifically, because I have been reading it is more effective at reducing tooth decay than other sugar alternatives, and who doesn't want that?!. However when I scoured the shops, I couldn't find any candy made with xylitol - it was all splenda and maltitol. I am very happy to have found this product. (I also bought a whole lot of xylitol candy (caramel and chocolate) from Dr Johns which will be arriving soon, and I am looking forward to seeing how their products compare.)

Good quality and flavors
Heard about these from our dentist. Supposedly xylitol is good for dental health. We often use a few for the kids if they have sweets and at bed time. So far, no cavities.

Brilliant for Keto Diet
I'm on the Keto diet, and these are the perfect sweet for me to munch on that will not spike my glycemic index. I'm a huge fan of the Berry flavors. The Citrus flavors are okay. I'm actually not a huge fan of the Banana ones in the Fruit Flavors tube, so I fish all of those out and eat the remaining 2 flavors in those tubes, which are great.Great to keep in your pocket all day, or for bringing to the movies when you want that sweet, guilt-free movie snack!

Great treat for kids
These are natural colored candies that have xylitol in them. I was given a sample by a children's dental office that had a vendor booth at a event I went to. I had been looking for a small ttree to use for my two year old for when he went potty. I love that these are very small, come in different colors and flavors and don't have any fake coloring in them. The main ingredient is xylitol and that's supposed to be good for teeth. the price was great for a pack of 18. I took 9 and gave the other 9 to my sister for her two kids. They come in a small tube that fits easily in a purse, the medicine cabinet (in the bathroom is where I keep one of mine). I can see these as being great Christmas stocking stuffers too. Only think I wish was different about them is i wish they were softer. They are a hard candy and about the size of a tic tac but more of a circle shape vs an oblong oval. I think these will last me a long time. I also see these holding up good in the heat if they need to be kept in the car center console (I'm pretty sure they wouldn't melt).

Great taste, convenient container to carry in the car
Great taste, convenient container to carry in the car, backpack or your purse. Citrus was the favored flavor but all are good. No artificial after taste. Xylitol boasts of many benefits, combats dry mouth as it stimulates saliva production and reduces cavities so we are told. All while you are eating candy.

Not Great, Not Awful
Three stars is supposed to mean, "It's OK," and that's exactly how I feel about this Xlear SparX Mixed Xylitol Candy pack. It's not great, it's not awful, it just sort of is. The candy itself is shaped like tiny pebbles - about half the size of a Tic Tac - and all the ones we have had are a bit softer than traditional hard candy. The flavors are supposed to be Berry, Citrus and Fruit, but honestly, I had to look up what the individual flavors were supposed to be. The candies just taste sweet and sort of vaguely reminiscent of artificially flavored medicine.If these weren't supposed to be good for your teeth or diabetic-friendly, I can't imagine anyone bother to seek them out. My daughter, who is nearly two and horrible about brushing her teeth, was my inspiration for seeking out xylitol candies. I figured they would be a good treat in lieu of traditional sugar-based sweets. (Another reviewer was concerned about the size of the candies for young children - unless your kid is just learning to eat and you are concerned about aspirating food, I doubt it would be a problem. These aren't choking size; they'd be swallowed whole.) She likes them well enough, though if given the choice we both prefer the taste of Ice Chips Real Lemon.I should mention, too, that if you are just trying xylitol sweetened candies, please start slowly. They can cause digestive upset if too much is eaten. With these, we haven't had any problems, but we also consume them pretty sparingly, with one tube lasting us a week or two.Overall, though I won't be tossing the ones I bought, I won't be buying Xlear again. Xylitol candy is just fine, but these lack the flavor to make them enjoyable. We will buy Ice Chips brand instead.

Much better than eating candy with sugar
Much better than eating candy with sugar. The flavors are really good as well. I takes these to keep my mouth from drying out (due to some meds I take) and I can use these as needed without worrying about a sugar overload, and they taste just as great! I highly recommend the bulk pack as well if you need to have something to keep the saliva flowing and your mouth moist.
