Anyone had trouble w/ the plastic taste I've read about with other brands? The colored ones don't pass the twist or pinch test which means fillers.

We've had these silicone popsicle molds for about a month. As far as I can tell, there is no plastic taste. My children love the popsicles I make in the molds, and if they had a funny plastic taste, I am certain that my children would complain, a lot, to me about it.

No problems with taste with our molds. Not sure what twist/pinch test is so can't answer to that sorry. We are happy with the molds

The 'twist test' does NOT test for fillers. Silicone is naturally white. To verify it has fillers, you have to burn the product and see if you get white (pure) or black (not pure) ashes. The white you can see on various silicone products has to do with the vulcanization process of putting color into the silicone. If the product uses an FDA process, you can see the white. If you use the LGFB process (that Europe uses), you will not see white. LGFB processing costs about 20% more than FDA, so you'll pay more if you don't want to see white.

Unfortunately Amazon sent me the wrong product and I never received the clear molds. The company that makes the clear molds, however was VERY customer friendly and helpful. They responded quickly to my emails and even refunded my purchase price before we discovered I had not received their product. I suggest you email them directly with your question. Even if you order them without inquiring, they will contact you by email and make certain you are satisfied. For that reason, I would recommend their product if you can get Amazon to send it to you!

My kids have not complained about any plastic taste. They used them the whole school year, and no complaints! We love them!!!

How are you getting a "burnt taste" ? I swallow them with other pills with water and notice to taste other than that of the water.

I had no problem with tasting like plastic, I washed the water container with dish soap and any other parts that would come out. I made a few cups with water only and never had a problem.

No problems with ours! Maybe you just received a one off "lemon". Try again...my kids love ours as do I. So great for mixing powdered drinks...and for "remixing" when juices settle.

I got really tired of the flavor and probably swallowed more than half of them with no problem at all. Hope that helps!

I never noticed any off taste from the cubes from the onyx tray, however I do not notice any imparted taste from the plastic trays either. Sorry I could not be more definitive.

Thank you for your quick response! I was looking for something other than plastic to drink my green smoothies and more importantly my flavored water with my doTERRA Essential Oils. Some of the oils you can't put in plastic containers or use plastic straws. After reading the bad flavor reviews on the stainless steel straws, I decided to try the glass ones! I too am a straw person. Not sure how I have never heard of glass straws before! Can't wait to get some! Thanks again for your reply!

I have never had this experience with the capsules. If the seal was broken when you got them then throw it out. If not, how are you tasting them when they should be swallowed (don't hold them on your tongue) not chewed. You should be taking them with meals, maybe the food aftertaste made them taste strange? I never have tasted anything strange and I have been taking them for a year. Sometimes when you are not feeling well things will taste strange. In any case throw out when you are not sure and try again.

I have been using them for years with no problems. Just make sure that you flush them out the first time you use them. When the 3 months are up they are up make sure you change it. Sorry never have had a bad taste

Something must be wrong with the batch. I have never experienced that at all. I started using it right after the "Shark Tank" exposure. I am a HUGE fan of this product. Did you try calling them? The are in Washington State, I think. Good Luck and try this again, it is so good.

I just checked. The color stays. I never saw white. It doesn't appear to have fillers. Another reason I bought these was because the writer of the 100 Days of Real Food blog recommended them......and she's super picky. Hope that helps.

I had the same problem. Time and running them through the dishwasher over and over again got the taste (and smell) out. I hope it wasn't something too toxic. Makes me wonder what they make these with ...

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.

I found them to have a terrible taste but I don't know why. I noted that in my review. The only way I can get them down is to pool water in my mouth, push the capsule in and swallow quickly.

I haven't tried them all, but I can tell you that so far all of them have tasted like their select flavor. Hope that helps. Choose your "go to" flavor.

I do believe another difference between these ones and the "Elite Omega-3" (which is the one I've been using) is that the Elite has a "natural lemon flavor" and the Super Omega-3 (this item) does not have a flavor. So I'm curious for those of you who have taken this product, does it have a more fishy smell and or taste? Do you get the notorious "fish burps"? With the Elite version with the lemon flavor, when I burp it is actually lemony.
