I have to agree with everything I have read. I also have been a fan of Refreshers for years,It was the texture as well as the taste that I loved. The new variety has neither, they're too hard, that melt in the mouth and fizz on the tongue has gone. Bring back the originals, why do they have to spoil everthing. I say lets boycott Refreshers until they get the message!

Tasty and frsh, they remain one of my favorite sweets, I think 30p a role is a little much though but I still buy them when ever I can - getting hold of them seems to be the problem as very few supermarkets stock them. I only wish they weren't so difficuilt to find in the shops

Well I think the idea of all natural is so kids aren't bouncing off the walls all day, I mean as adults they may taste different yeah, but some parents feed their kids junk all day regardless, so if we can make the junk better for you I guess it's all good....maybe we adults need to stop eating sweets like this then we'd have nothing to moan about? Thank god for caramacs though haha x

I love these sweets. Perfect sweet to keep in the car and good for vegetarians. Why can't I find them any more? Have they stopped making
Bassetts Refreshers?

New Refreshers are dire - texture and taste are all wrong. Add this to the new recipe for sherbet in the Dip Dabs (same company), which is also vile, those few guilty pleasures in life are gone. Disappointed and guarantee that I will not buy again.

I really like the Bassetts Refreshers fizz factor!

I remember picking up a packet today to relive the fond memories of these great sweets. Upon biting the first one I immediately noticed the off taste. Bassetts Refreshers just do not taste right. I'm getting sick of sweets altering recipes to use 'natural' ingredients when all they do is destroy the flavor, which is the POINT of buying them in the first place! If I want all natural I wouldn't be eating sweets in the first place.

I'm not sure if I'll ever look at a pack of Refreshers in the same ...

Bassetts Refreshers were my favourite sweets and for ages I couldn't find them in the shops. I was so excited to see them back on the shelves, but that soon turned to disappointment once I tasted them. I like the packaging, but thats about it. PLEASE BRING BACK THE PROPER REFRESHERS.

Bassetts Refreshers are not as good as they used to be - the packaging's poor also, the sweets fall out.

Bassetts Refreshers are flipping awful... what are they thinking? You don't mess with success and Barratt's just destroyed my childhood favorite. Yuck. If they want to make "natural" refreshers why didn't they just name them something else and leave the originals alone. BRING BACK MY REFRESHERS!!!

Chalk up another vote to bring back old refreshers! I am so disappointed in the new flavor that I googled "refreshers different taste" and found this long list of similarly minded sweets fans.They are perfumey and not nearly as fizzy! Yuck!

I used to love Refreshers, but they seem to have taken something out because now instead of the nice unique Refreshers taste, they taste like chalky winegums, and they all taste the same instead of having different flavours. Possibly they've taken out additives because they are 'bad' for you. I'd rather they put them back in.

I completely agree with the majority of the reviews here about the new Natural Refreshers. I think they are horrible! I've also been addicted to these yummy childhood favourites and after spending a year in Australia, I was looking forward to my first taste of goodness, but instead all I could find was these impostors! Bring back the old refreshers!!

I was shocked! I don't buy Refreshers often but have enjoyed them for many years. If I cannot get original flavour I will not be buying Refreshers; simple as that!

I think the only thing that can be considered good about the new recipe refreshers is the packaging. What is inside however is a terrible disappointment. I actually wrote to the manufacturer to express my disappointment. Bring back the old style refreshers, these new ones taste vile and far too crunchy for my liking.

Refreshers have been my favourite sweet since I was a child (now 38). I have been addicted to refreshers (2-5 rolls per day) and love the fruity taste and the chalky texture. I think the new 'natural' recipe is horrible and disgusting, I have tried to like them but they have a funny taste and do not even taste as good as Love Hearts. Surely Barratts did not test the new recipe on Refreshers lovers, I will be surprised if the new 'natural' recipe sells as well as the original. I stocked up on the ...
