Kids Gummies: Strawberry is king, but grape? Bleh. What's the best flavor to buy next?
Hey all, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My kids (7 and 9) are obsessed with the strawberry flavor of [Brand X] kids gummies. But when I bought grape last time, they turned their noses up and now I'm stuck with a bottle. I need to restock and want to try a new flavor that's likely a hit. What's the consensus on the best flavor for kids? I'm leaning towards orange or maybe fruit punch? Also, any tips on hiding the grape ones in smoothies? 😂
I meditate on this... but honestly, my kids are all about the cherry flavor. They say it tastes like candy. Grape is indeed a hard sell – too artificial for some. Maybe try the mixed berry? It's a safe bet if they like strawberry. Just my two cents. And for the grape ones, blend them into a berry smoothie – the grape gets lost in the mix.
Oh man, I feel you! My kids are flavor snobs. We did a taste test once: strawberry won, orange was second, and grape was last. I'd go with orange next – it's usually a crowd-pleaser. But watch out, some brands make orange too tangy. Also, have you tried the watermelon? That's a new one that my little ones loved. As for the grape, I just choke them down myself (they're not that bad, just not kid-approved).
According to a 2022 survey on children's supplement preferences (I'll dig up the link if you want), strawberry and cherry are top, grape and lemon are bottom. But flavor can vary by brand. Which brand are you using? For [Brand Y], the fruit punch is a hit with my niblings. Also, pro tip: if you buy from Amazon, you can often return unopened bottles if the kids hate them. Just check the policy. And yeah, grape + banana smoothie = masked.
Thanks everyone! Seems like orange and cherry are the frontrunners. I'll grab a bottle of orange and maybe cherry too. And I'll definitely try the smoothie trick for the grape ones. HealthHacker980, we use [Brand X]. I'll check the return policy, that's a lifesaver. Wish me luck!
