• Good Stuff

  Extremely tasty candy with a texture unlike anything on the candy shelves in America. Imagine, if you will, popping a piece of soft strawberry gum into your mouth and beginning to chew--the first few seconds are always the best, when you get a blast of intense strawberry flavor along with a firm, enjoyable chew, right? Then imagine that gum melting away gradually on your tongue, without losing any of its flavor, rather than enduring and just becoming stringy and bland. Very nice indeed.
  
  

• Tasty, but not very healthy

  I have to agree with the other reviewer here, this candy is quite tasty, and chewy, and unlike most American-made candies. However, going by the grape flavor packaging, it's not exactly healthy.
  
  One pack (of grape flavor) is 210 calories, 5g of fat, and 4g of saturated fat.
  
  Ingredients: Glucose syrup, sugar, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, gelatin, grape concentrated juice, flavors, citric acid, dl-malic acid, emulsifiers, lactic acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), natural color (grape skin ext.), fd&c blue no. 1

  All my friends love these candies. Nothing is better to share during the recess. Each pack has 12 pieces. It is very popular for the party goody bags.

  The first time I tasted hi-chew, I fell in love with the unique texture! There's nothing more satistfying that chewing a piece of hi-chew, which is unlike any American candy that I have ever eaten. It is softer than most American taffys, and comes in lots of delicious flavors! I suggest grape, lychee, and strawberry!
  
  

• Not as sweet

  I got hooked on these in Hong Kong where my American candy choices were Starburst and Skittles, both sugar rushes of the extreme sort. This candy is not as sweet as those, but a bit sweeter than most Asian candy (many of my Chinese friends find it too sweet for their taste, but many of my American friends say it is not sweet enough). I kind of like the middle ground, trying to cut back on my sugars.
