Maynards Sports Mixture

Terrible compared to what they use to be. Both myself and husband are extremely disappointed.We won't be buying again and certainly wouldn't recommend

These used to be a favorite a few years ago, I thought I would give them a chance again recently as they have been going down hill over the last few years. What once where packed with mouth watering flavour and had almost a hard bite to them are now just tastless softer winegums. Rarely any red, green or orange sweets. I will never buy again.

Hardly any flavour or taste at all. And the last 5 times I have bought them there was been less than 5 green ones in the whole packet I am so disappointed in the flavouring puts me off buying them ever again

This is not just false nostalgia, please find anyone who used to with in the Lion’s recipe department, pay them lots of money to recreate these iconic sweets ( even if it’s only the black, dark red and yellow ones), and restore order. The Maynard’s imitation are dreadful

I have been eating sports mixture gums for over 50 years. It used to be a close call between Maynards and Lion but now Maynards have been substituted with inferior, tasteless lumps of gelatin. Maynards now fail to make the team sheet and cannot even been seen as a sub with such a poor performance on every level. Time for retirement for them!!

I can’t rate these sweets at all They were terrible. They tasted of chemicals. I couldn’t take any fruit flavours. I wouldn’t buy them again and certainly wouldn’t recommend them. I must admit I was quite shocked by these sweets. I’ve bought wine gums and jelly babies before and enjoyed them. I couldn’t eat them.

Found an almost empty packet in my coat today. The last 3 tempted me to buy more but to my surprise they are now tasteless!. What a shame as they were my go to gums

I know these are not Lions brand but they should not be associated with sports mixtures, they are nothing like the original. How awful, tried 2, soft with a chemical taste, throwing the rest away, never ever buying again.

I had always loved sports mix. Great taste and really chewy. Now they are absolutely awful. Due to the usual craze of bowing to the 'have to bow to today's garbage' they now have less sugar in them. I'm not sure if that was a factor as they are now so tasteless, eating cardboard would be preferable. The texture has also changed and they are so soft I could be eating jelly babies(also rubbish now) I was sooooo disappointed and tipped the whole lot in bin. Will never buy again. I'm a grown woman who can decide for herself whether to eat sugary stuff or not. Changing recipes to suit the nonsense out there is going too far for me. I'm guessing the rest of your sweets will be just as bad now

I used to love these as a child 40 years ago, each sport had their own distinctive taste and the black and deep red was my favourite. I was bought some today and was so disappointed, the gums are softer and the taste is not there, they all taste the same which is very bland cheap wine gums.

Maynard have ruined a perfectly great sweet
