Kroger Gummi Worms are not your average bag of worms... These have been roughed up and beaten down with no quality control. These are sold for 2 / $3 at the general Kroger grocery store; and this price comes with a cost...

When you first open the bag of Kroger Gummi Worms you get a strong stench that lingers in the back of your nose, almost tasting a little bitter. The consistency in the worms is horrible... Mixed in your bag of gummi worms you may find dry, brittle, or tough worms... Right when you toss a worm in your mouth, the edges and the worms themselves begin to fall apart. Its weird because this bag didn't expire for a year!

Looking closely at the worms you will see various scratch marks where it contained contact with a rough edge or surface. (See image right) Any type of friction over a period of time can potentially cause food contamination from ware and tare. I don't know about you, but I don't want my worms scratched up on any surface regardless of the conditions. I also seem to find small odd white particles stuck to the worms.

The Kroger Gummi Worms have a weird bitter aftertaste and I will be supervised if you finish your whole bag. In comparison with other gummi worms, these don't stand a chance. If you are looking for gummi worms, I recommend you select a different brand such as Trolli Squiggles.
