Why the taste difference in the Flintstones bought at the grocery versus Amazon?

I do not have a "correct" answer for this. I have not noticed much of a difference. However, perhaps it's just because it's a different batch.

I've purchased these blades via local retail and also online thru Amazon, and can't tell the difference. Like many other products, they may not be the same quality as something made 20 years ago, but to my knowledge there is no tiered production like some items (trail mix for example) that has one blend for retail sale and a lower quality blend for "club store" sales. I worked in the food industry years ago and was aware of how some things were marketed, but regarding hard items everything I have purchased from Amazon is the same exact item I would receive from another online or local retailer.

I searched on WalMart.com for this product and found a 30 oz box for 3.98 and a 20 oz box for 2.24. The reason I would choose this one is because it is the same price. I can buy in bulk and have it delivered for free via prime. I don't have to lug it from WalMart to my car and then into the house.

The ones in the blue box taste better IMO. The White box ones says "pure " olive oil , it doesnt say extra virgin anywhere, at least not on any of my boxes. The white box is certified NON GMO. Not sure how many GMO sardines are swimming around out there but in any case, if that is important to you than the white box is better for you. THe blue box has a more pronounced sardine flavor, the white box tastes lighter to me

Oddly, Amazon sent this request to me. I have ordered them. They are white and in my family's opinion are not as flavorful as the yellow grits.

I can't see a difference. The Amazon price is good if it's the same quality. Looks identical.

Melissa, I am not sure why there is such price disparity. Usually that indicates hat the particular Yummy Stuffer (alligator here) might be in low supply. I say, "Buy it at Target!" if you can get it for $20 there and shop at Amazon next time - It is my favorite place for shopping - so easy!!My son LOVES this Alligator Tummy Stuffer, by the way. He's 6. It fits an amazing amount of toys - I was pleasantly surprised.Susan

Yes, they are different. Can't put a finger on it, put would say they don't hold up to crispy and fresh as before. I also noted the supply isn't readily accessible as in past as well as the 'Low Sodium' box. Is this a distribution issue or is it discontinued?

I purchase the golden as the taste is milder. If there is a nutritional difference, I am unaware.

I think they are sour. But honestly, they taste just like what we had as kids...flintstones, remember those? And wont most kids eat sour gummy worms or sour patch kids...? To me they didnt leave a bad or sour taste afterward they were just a bit tangy during eating them. My two year old son who has a very specific pallet (due to sever acid reflux) will eat them no problem.

Grade A beans are gourmet, and top of the list. A stronger flavor and are harder to come by. Ex: filet Mignon vs. Cube steak

I don't think it is better. Sometimes I like to purchase from smaller companies thinking they may be more invested in quality as opposed to a very large company like NOW Foods. Based on the quality control problems and the fact that NOW uses glass bottles instead of plastic, I will be purchasing NOW Foods from now on. Each contains the same two fatty acids, Caprylic Acid (C8:0) and Capric Acid (C10:0). Dr. F supposedly ONLY contains those two, while NOW does not specify but the other fatty acids are in very low quantities anyway so I don't think it matters much.

Hi Dr. Rusty. Honestly i did not notice a difference between this and a previous brand's "regular" flavour seaweed snack. The next time i try these i will try to pay more attention to the flavour. Please don't hold your breath however, as i will likely try a different brand next time. (Only because i've tried just one other brand so far -- with a "regular" or "plain" flavor, IIRC -- the two different brands tasted exactly the same to me, though i admittedly did not do a proper side-by-side taste test with both products present at the same time.)

Likely it is a bit of both since people have different senses. Personally, I don't notice a taste.

Citric acid, corn syrup solids, aspartamet. It has a different taste than the bottled Snapple and different from Snapple in the plastic bottles, as well.

The outer Amazon Box was bigger and had maybe an inch or so of crinkled paper padding. The actual Lego box was in good shape.

I guess it depends on what you child is used to. I do think they have changed them somehow recently. My son used to like them and now he does not. The most recent bottle tastes different from what the previous bottles tasted like. I have tried them my self and can attest to the change in taste. It's an aftertaste that is a bit unpleasant really. They are really go vitamins.
