Cute design for these, exactly as shown on the product page. Sugar coating is on well. Kids like the flavor but they are a little chewy. Ingredients are as you'd expect but I included a picture anyway. They look and feel like a swedish foam candy with cola flavor. If that's your thing, these are great!
Sweet candy that tasted like cola! Great value with tons of high quality sweets. Not tha fresh, but great texture. Sadly not much variety.
I’ve tried a few of the Bubs candies and really quite enjoy them. These Cool Cola Skulls are different from the other Bubs I’ve eaten. I do love the skull-and-crossbones design on these candies. These Bubs combine a really tart sugar coating with a cola-flavored gummy. The combination is interesting, but not great for me. One piece is large enough for five or six bites. One thing I wasn’t a fan of is that the gummy part sticks to my teeth, which takes the fun out of eating the candies. Unfortunately, I’ll have to pass on future purchases of these.
Honestly one of the best gummy candy I've had. The outside is covered in a sour powder and the inside is a sweet cola flavor. The flavors are fantastic and very apparent, it doesn't taste or feel like the cheap cola candies in other stores. The skulls themselves kinda look more like octopuses to me but others could disagree. The skulls themselves are fairly big candies in general and last 3 bites. I ate all of them in one sitting. They're a little expensive but I they're worth it.
As someone who has only ever had "Swedish-style" candy made in America, I was curious to see if there was actually a difference. After trying these authentic Bubs Cool Cola Skulls, I can say they are very different from the versions I've had before. This candy is a genuine pleasure to eat, offering a multitude of tastes and textures that have made me an instant fan. It has a unique profile that stands apart from any other candies I’ve tried.Packaging & StorageThe candy arrived safely and was packaged inside a clear, resealable ziplock pouch. I really appreciate the resealable design because I knew I wouldn't finish the entire bag in one sitting. The pouch keeps the candy fresh and securely stored, preventing it from getting hard or letting anything else in. It also fits into my kitchen storage easily, and because the bag is clear, you can see exactly what you’re reaching for when looking through the pantry.Taste & Texture ExperienceThe moment I tried the first piece, I was hit with a complex mix of sensations. As soon as it hits your tongue, you get a slight fizzy, sour, carbonated cola flavor. The outside has a slight graininess from the flavoring that truly mimics the feel of a carbonated drink.However, the texture is where this really differs from American candy. It is much softer—more pillowy, squishable, and foam-like. It was incredibly easy to bite into and didn't stick to my teeth, which was a huge plus. The soft foam texture is easy to chew and swallow, and I experienced no sensitivity issues; it was a completely positive experience.Once you get past the initial fizz, the flavor profile shifts to something much sweeter. It’s a perfect combination of sweet-and-sour and fizzy cola.Ingredients & ValueA major highlight for me is the clean ingredient list. These are vegan-friendly, and I love that they use dyes that are not synthetic. Knowing that the product uses more natural components makes the snacking experience even better.Final VerdictAll in all, this is a fantastic product. The flavor delivers a surprising Coca-Cola taste that is spot-on. I was pleasantly surprised by the foamy, pillow-type texture and the combination of flavors for the price. The pieces are larger in size and very easy to eat. If you are a fan of sweet and sour treats, these are definitely up your alley. This is a great starting point for anyone wanting to know what authentic Swedish candy is really like!
I'm really impressed with the flavor of these gummies; they actually taste like the brand soda. They are not sticky and easy to chew. My kid doesn't like soda, and she ate most of these gummies. I will definitely try these again. The bag is solid and resealable.
Bubs Cool Cola Skulls Premium Swedish Candy has the taste, consistency and sugar coating of a gumdrop in a flat skull-shaped disk that is fun to eat. My 8-ounce package had 14 pieces, each with 56 cal per calculations from the nutrition label. I would easily give this 5 stars if it was orange, cherry or lemon-flavored. The cola flavor was more sour than fizzy, and I didn’t enjoy it. The package I received in April 2026 has a best-before-date of 3/30/27, and the candy did taste fresh. I have no doubt a fruit flavor of this candy would be excellent.
First impressions were they were much larger than I expected and at times more sour than I anticipated. There was around 14 skulls in the bag, though I’m sure this varies a bit. You can definitely tell they are cola flavored and I really enjoyed the flavor. My first bite was sour to the point that I had to double check to see if I missed that they were sour candies. However after that most of the pieces weren’t really sour. I had a couple of others try them and we agreed that maybe the white part had a bit more tang/sour flavor to it. The gummy was a nice soft texture and fresh. The picture shows the size compared to a quarter as I wasn’t expecting them to be the large. Each piece is a few bites. I would order these again as I really like the cola flavor they have. I don’t have a lot of experience with vegan candy but I would not have known if it was not labeled as such. The flavor and texture were very comparable to non vegan candy.
Product reviewed: Bubs Vegan Cool Cola SkullsSlightly tart. The brown side has a mild cola flavor, and the white site has no discernible taste. They are coated in granular sugar. They are soft and chewy on the inside. Each piece is big enough for several chews.Fresh stock - the expiration date was 1 year in the future.I like the taste.Note: These contain high fructose corn syrup (glucose-fructose) and caramel color E150d.Made in Sweden.
These candies are definitely a little bizarre looking but OMG, they are really, really tasty! They come in a zippered bag and are quite large - approximately 1 ounce each. They definitely have a cola flavor - mostly sweet with just a touch of sour - perfect! They are on the firmer side, so chewing them is definitely satisfying. I love the taste, but have been able to stop at two because of this. Otherwise, I would definitely eat the entire bag in one sitting - LOL!Something unique, on the expensive side, but very tasty!
Like most kids my children love candies. Swedish candies always rates highly with them and we had to give these a try. They have a great Cola taste, and I'm not sure why someone else got only 8, we got about 16 in the package. They are chewy and good tasting, basically Cola flavored Swedish fish but in a cool skull shape. We didn't find any "fizz" to them however, but they have some salty taste to them (a bit like salted caramel) but there isn't any mention of salt in the ingredients. Obviously this is candy so don't make a meal of them, you'll get a sugar spike and crash :).
I ordered these candies because I’m a fan of gummies. I don’t go out of my way to find vegan foods but I suppose these are probably novel since most gummies have gelatin which is commonly an animal product.The consistency of these is very similar to Swedish Fish: firm, chewy, and sticky. They’re not soft like gummy worms or peach rings or that kind of gummy.They do taste a lot like cola. They’re not sour but there is a bit of a zing to them (maybe like watermelon sour patch?) probably from the powdered exterior.The appearance is ok. The colors are muted and sort of what you’d expect for a cola flavored candy (not bright and colorful).They are fairly flat but large enough in size that I always want to bite the in half rather than putting a whole one in my mouth. This ends up being challenging since they’re very chewy and kind of hard to actually bite off.If you have a vegan diet these may be a good deal but compared to regular gummies these are pretty expensive for the amount you get.
The cola gummies are very good tasting. They have a sour flavor with hints of sweetness. I really enjoy them. They appear to be from Europe according to the description on Amazon. The packaging does not list an actual country of origin. The gummies were soft and easy to chew. They seemed very fresh. Not really sure what “Authentic Swedish Candy” is, but that is the claim. The gummy did not really have any cola flavor, just tart and sweet.
These candies are nice and chewy. The cola taste is delicious! They are 1 ounce each, so there are only 8 in the package. The value is very similar to what I paid in Sweden at Hemmakväll. I like that they are vegan, no gelatin, but still a great gummy candy.
Amazing with popcorn! Try it!!!!!!!!
Good to relieve the crave but these didn’t taste like the actual bubs cola skulls, not as sour. Not sure if I would order again
I was either going to give these 5 stars or 1 star.Honestly, I kinda hated them at first. I took one little bite, thought "eww, nasty" and then they lived in my cabinet untouched for several months.I had actually forgotten about them when I thought let me give these another try. And then, they kinda grew on me LOL.They're definitely not like anything I've had before and if you're a fan of the Haribo gummy cola's like I am and are expecting a similar kind of experience, you will be very disappointed.I will say these are probably more gooey than gummy. But I like that they're vegan, they have a good cola flavor and it somehow works being sour, too.The Swedes definitely know their candy. 💯
Good flavor. They are really big in size
I liked these a lot. The cola flavor is really good, and the sourness is definitely there, though I would not say it tastes exactly like a typical sour gummy candy. It has more of that Swedish candy / foam candy texture, which makes it a little different in a good way.The texture is probably what surprised me most. They are chewy and soft enough that they almost seem like they would have gelatin in them, but they are actually gelatin-free. They do get a little sticky, especially if you eat a few in a row, but not enough to bother me.No pictures because I finished the bag in under a week, which probably says enough. If you like cola candy and want something sour, chewy, and a little different from the usual gummy, these are worth trying.
Very tasty and nice and chewy also great cola taste not too strong
Absolutely DELICIOUS! Honestly, these are some of the best Swedish candy skulls I’ve ever had and I’ve tried a lot. Extremely fresh, will definitely order again!
