I am a big lover of sweets so when I was in Asda today I just couldn't stop myself from picking up these sweeties!

Advantages: Great taste, lots to make with them, good fun sweets! Disadvantages: Bad for your waistline & your teeth, a little waxy.

I enjoyed mucking around with these, making bracelets with my niece and other various jewellery and just generally playing with our food before we ate it, it's nice to get to act like a child sometimes!

The packaging was calling out to me as it's very pretty and girly and I'm in a 'loving pink' kind of mood at the moment (sitting in pink PJs now!).
The laces are a little waxy and take a fair while to chew but the taste of strawberry is there and it's pretty strong, it does taste very nice but if I could improve the product it would be to make the laces less waxy.

These sweets (as per most) should definitely be enjoyed in moderation as one 70g bag provided 242 calories & 34.3g sugars which is just not good for your teeth (or your waistline!) at all! But then that's why they're sweets and forbidden most of the time!
I would rate this product 4/5 as I think the price is very good and the taste is nice, however, the lace itself could do with being less chewy as I found that I got sick of chewing after a few laces and ended up giving the rest of the packet to my niece.

Advantages: Fun and Yummy Disadvantages: Addictive
Mmmmmmmmmmmm Stretchy Strawberry Laces.
PACKAGING The packaging says it all really, it is blatantly designed to attract kids, or big kids like myself. The packet is partly see-through so you can see the deliciousness that is Strawberry Laces staring you right in the face saying "Eat me, eat me". The rest of the packet normally has a cartoon on it of a little man playing with the laces (depending on which brand you buy), its brightly coloured and ... ...This review is about the strawberry ones that are bright red, but you can also get apple ones which are bright green and cola ones that are brown. They are basically long thin stretchy sweets, each one is about 30cm long and they are about a couple of mm thick, they are kind of chewy, but not like Chew Its, more like a Cola Bottle kind of consistency, so they are unlikely to pull your fillings out!
THE SMELL, TASTE & WAYS TO EAT
Mmmmmmmmmm as soon ...

Advantages: Fun to eat Disadvantages: Don't last very long
...review is of Asda's "Stretchy Strawberry Bootlaces". You will find these sweets in the sweeties aisle, amongst the bags of sweets. They will set you back the pricely sum of 38p for a 75g pack. Or, you can pick any 3 bags from this particular range for £1.
They come in a yellow packaged bag, with the words any 3 for £1 across the top. On the bag is a see-through area in the middle so you can see the laces inside, and around this clear part is the ... ...taste of strawberry. The strawberry smell is particularly evident when you open the packaging. It's lovely and fruity smelling, and it actually tastes of strawberry as well, and leaves a lovely aftertaste in your mouth. However, they do feel quite rubbery (they are glazed with a beeswax covering). They smell very fruity and they taste lovely, yet quite sweet.
I would definately recommend them!

...These particular ones are Iceland Strawberry flavour laces.
They are 39 p a pack -75g pack, or 3 for 99p (ok then you twisted my arm..) ( I bought 6).
They contain natural colours and are suitable for a vegetarian diet- What more could you ask!!
The nutritional bit Per 100g (just over a bag i feel..)
You have 370 calories. You have 3.2g of protein (see thats good)
83.0g of carbohydrate and ...
2.5g of fat.
Now then for those of you who think ... ...not made friendship bracelets with them.?have you not flicked the cat with one..? (only joking RSPCA)
have you NEVER stuffed five in your mouth to see how much you can eat..If all else fails you take one end, give your partner the other and then see who can eat the fastest! Now ALL that for 39p!
After all that I think ill start the 2nd bag!....or have a lie down

Reviews which might be of interest for "Strawberry Laces"
sugary sweet, there is no way that they can be healthy! Each 100g bag contains 340 calories and 14.5g sugars, as well as just a trace of fat. That is not too bad for something so delicious. And you do not exactly have to eat the entire bag in one sitting either! Even half of it would make a delicious snack!
These are definitely worth the money, and perfect for taking with you anywhere because of the little plastic bag. If you like them then you could try some of the other options, such as the chocolate footballs, strawberrylaces and jellybeans. Tesco have done it again with yet another delicious product!

Advantages: Liquoirce free Disadvantages: very sweet
the Fruit Allsorts in 215gram bags, 400gram boxes and 800gram tins (but who on earth could eat that many?). The bags retail at around £1 in most supermarkets but will cost you double that at most petrol stations.
Opening the bag proves to be a veritable assault on the senses. The first thing that hits you is the smell. It is predominantly sweet and fruity but mostly sweet. Once my nose adjusted I began to pick up distinct whiffs of desiccated coconut and the smell of strawberrylaces. This smell reminded me that it has been some time since I had strawberrylaces. (Note to self: buy strawberrylaces) Peering into the bag could cost you your vision so please take care. Whereas the liquorice allsorts are muted pastel pinks, blues and yellows these fruit allsorts are bright. No, wait they are BRIGHT. They are vivid yellows, reds, oranges ...
Advantages: Does contain some chocolate (if you're lucky)! Familiar shapes! Pleasant pastel colours like dolly mixture. Disadvantages: No liquorice/coconut, contains milk; cochineal/gelatin not suitable for vegetarians. Not all flavours appear.
the manufacturers to pull them apart, I carefully removed the milky layers. The taste was mild, sweet, but unmistakably milk. The translucent layers are similar to the consistency of the strawberry-laces-red layers in the "Fruit Allsorts" and the black liquorice layers in the "Original Allsorts" and taste like a rubbery caramel fudge ~ sweet, and again very milky. Oh well, what did I expect? Another layer carefully removed after first taste.
What is left now?
The pale lemony outer circle of the "Lemon Pie" tastes like lemon curd in a fondant. I like that! The lemon layer from the "Lemon Cheesecake" is a much more elusive flavour and not as moist. The strawberry layers from "Strawberry Pie" and "Strawberry Cheesecake" are quite elusive and artificial, and not as sweet, with a faint aftertaste I cannot quite describe. Imagine a strawberrylace ...
