After getting acquainted with the "Brave mosquito" sweets, leaving a review and reading the comments, I desired the "Mad Bee". I searched for several days. and today I finally bought it. I found this bee in "Magnet", 256 rubles / kg. Small sweets with a cute pop-eyed bee)).
I tried and immediately disappointed .. Very elastic jelly mass, gelatin is clearly not regretted, it looks like rubber. Chewed for a very long time, Sweets with various flavors, I came across cherry, orange and lemon. The filling is like a liquid syrup. The taste is unnatural, clearly smells of chemistry. The aftertaste is gelatinous, it does not go away for a long time. I took a picture of one candy, all the others differ only in color.
I will hardly buy, I have never been fond of chewing gum.
Advantages: bright, tasty
Disadvantages: composition caused allergy
Hello everybody! Today in the store I saw Roshen sweets "Mad Bee", gave them to my son, took a picture for this review and no more ... we no longer buy them and do not recommend them to anyone.
A friend told me about these delicious sweets. She bought them for her little child and advised us very much. I remember how then we laughed with her with such a wonderful name "Mad Bee".
I was in no hurry to buy them, because I myself do not particularly like sweets, and I did not want to accustom my child (he was one and a half years old then) to them.
Soon, for the new year, my husband received a child's gift at work. That year it was Roshen candies. And among the various sweets there were sweets in a bright beautiful wrapper called "Mad Bee". That's when we tried them for the first time and we liked them very much. Bright, soft, jelly with filling. They looked very appetizing.
I asked my husband to buy them for me in the store. And he brought a package of these delicious sweets. We ate them a little bit, but didn’t watch my son and he ate five of them.
And at night the worst began. The child woke up and scratched his pimpled hands. It was a terrible night.
Then the doctor confirmed that it was an allergy. And we were treated for three weeks, remembering the name of the sweets "Mad Bee", but the truth is, the child's palms were scratched, swollen and everything in pimples seemed to have been bitten by bees. And here such name of sweets seemed to us no longer funny. And in the hospital I even felt uncomfortable when I explained that on the eve of this allergy I was giving the child candy called "Mad Bee"
Since then, I have been trying to choose sweets carefully, and of course we never buy such sweets and do not recommend them to anyone.
And we no longer face allergies, and at first the child himself refused to eat sweets, pointing to his little hands.
Neutral reviews
I discovered these sweets for myself a long time ago, but I don't eat them often, the composition is too embarrassing for the sweets.
So, the appearance is pleasant, appetizing. The marmalade is transparent and elastic! Nchinka does not pour out. However, I was immediately confused by the not quite natural aroma, as it was before. The sweets were definitely not quite fruity. The taste is the same - earlier these sweets resembled rather osto marmalade, but tighter and without sugar, now you can feel right away that "SOMETHING" has been added to the composition ...
And now the composition itself: starch syrup, granulated sugar, water-retaining agent sorbitol, gelling agent carrageenan, acidity regulators: a mixture of lactic acid and citric acid, trisodium citrate; thickener E1422, flavors: identical to natural: "Strawberry", "Cherry", "Forest berry", "Grapefruit"; natural: "Orange", "Lemon lime"; confectionery fat, dyes: E163, E141, E171, carmine, carotene, paprika extract, curcumin; concentrated juices: cherry, orange, strawberry, lemon, pink grapefruit, cranberry.
So, actually, I am wondering why the mad bee ... Maybe because of the mad composition?
Many people are familiar with the multi-colored "Mad Bee" sweets from ROSHEN, they are sold by weight (cost about 160 rubles), and in such bright packs-packages:
In the package, which is in the photo, 250 grams of jelly splendor in wrappers, candies are all different colors - green, orange, yellowish, which should correspond to a certain fruit (apple, cherry, cranberry, etc.). The contents of the pack without a few pieces, greedily eaten at once, is as follows:
These are the so-called jelly candies with a drop of thickened juice inside, which looks funny and inviting in a whole candy, look:
Soft, not rubbery - they bite off easily, there is no feeling of heaviness when eating, no matter how many of them you eat, thanks to which you can easily forget yourself and lose the whole pack. Sweets from the category "Flying like seeds", to which, for example, this chocolate "Lady" belongs. They are inexpensive, affordable and tasty so much that then one can only wonder where the extra kilogram of live weight came from!
I will buy it more than once, who have not tried it - try it.
One star was taken off for a large set of flavors in the composition - this is superfluous, a respected manufacturer. We want to eat sweets WITHOUT flavorings.
I got hooked on these jelly sweets back in the summer, when I went to Belarus. It was there that I bought them for the first time. And since then I want them all the time! I really like their varied taste, liquid filling, structure. And the price is quite budget.
"Mad Bee" - who came up with such a funny name? Smile Bright packaging attracts me in any store, wherever I see it.
The filling, as I said, is liquid. All the candies are wrapped in the same candy wrappers, so you can't guess what taste you will get next time. Maybe it will be a berry flavor, or maybe citrus. Sweet or sour. Wonderful sweets! And the teeth do not suffer, since the candies are jelly, soft and do not stick to the teeth.
The only thing that upset me in the end was the composition. I hadn’t read it before, but I did it later. There is a lot of chemistry! Basically, these are flavors and dyes. For each taste - its own, so they include a lot of them! But concentrated juices make me happy: the candies contain not just flavors, but also natural juices. Therefore, I will continue to buy, but I will try not to overeat!
Positive reviews
Cool sweets, bring me to Russia, I can't buy a couple of kilograms anywhere in the city of Nizhny Tagil.
Advantages: Taste qualities, colorful packaging, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: dyes
Good day to all visitors of the site. I really love these candies from Roshen "Mad Bee". And I realized that not only children, but no matter how much I buy, I eat so much like a mad bee ... It's not possible to pull it by the ears ...
Each candy is of a different color and different taste, I try to choose the red ones, I like them the most, with raspberries, I would say and cherry filling. But the green ones resemble a mint flavor, I don't really like them, and the yellow ones, like oranges, are very delicate and pleasant. But if I eat more than 100 grams, it starts to feel nauseous and even very much. In my opinion, there is too much chemistry there, but how tasty it is. And the filling is sour, like a thick syrup, and the candy itself is of a jelly consistency and sweet.
You look at the bees, especially the eyes and you see yourself ... Namely, when I see these candies, my eyes open and I fly to buy, and then until I see the end and a mountain of empty candy wrappers I don’t calm down. I would not allow children to consume in large quantities. And I do not recommend it to adults either. Everything is good in moderation. Delicious, delicate, original, colorful packaging and candy wrappers. I really love the mad bee !!!
Who has not tried it yet, I recommend it, especially to those who like sweets similar to marmalade and jelly ...
Advantages: assorted in the package, pleasant to the taste if you don't eat a lot of them
Disadvantages: eaten at the moment, there is little natural in them
Vinnitsa Confectionery Factory (Ukraine) produces a wide range of sweets, including jelly sweets "Mad Bee". They are jelly sweets with fruit fillings. Packaged or individually sold in six flavors: orange, grapefruit, cherry, red berries, kiwi and strawberries.
The manufacturer describes them as follows: "... sweets based on a gelling agent of plant origin - carrageenan (a product obtained from seaweed) and with the addition of natural juices." In principle, according to the description, quite natural sweets ... For information, I will inform you that the energy value of 100 grams of "Mad Bee" is 309 kcal and 79.2% carbohydrates. They are pleasant to taste, but if you eat 1-3 things. But it turned out like this: once I ate them (I watched the film and the pens reached out to them by themselves ...), as a result, I ate them 200-300 grams, and then I had such a feeling in my mouth as if I had overeat dye ( something like that ...). After that, I don’t use them. For myself, I decided that I’d better eat gummies, but I’m definitely not going to offer them to my growing daughter. As a result, I rated them "average" because it’s better to eat something like that, but more natural!
Advantages: taste
Disadvantages: something in the composition
What kind of candies from Roshen have I never tasted! Many of them are delicious, although everyone now looks at this company differently. But if you evaluate exactly the Roshen "Mad Bee" Candy, discarding everything else, then I will tell you the following.
I really like these candies. They are packed brightly and attractively - for both a child and an adult. Also note that the candies are jelly, and they are all different colors. Inside there is a slightly liquid filling, a little stringy. And also very tasty. The consistency is not very hard (the most jelly shell, I mean), it is convenient to chew it.
Eating these candies, you will not get off alone - you still want more and more. So I advise you to buy such sweets. I think you will like them, although the composition is not perfect. They leave like seeds. And finally, I will add photos of two flavors of these sweets.
The candies are small: maybe that's why they leave quickly.
Advantages: tasty, tasty and inexpensive
Disadvantages: colorants and flavors in the composition, it is impossible to come off
I never paid attention to them. I was "pinned" by hunger at the institute. I understand, of course, that you can't eat sweets, but they sometimes save me. I snack on them until the big break.
I was treated to one of these sweets and I liked it so much that on the same evening I went to the store just for the sake of them. Now they cost about 150-200 rubles, differently everywhere.
In my opinion, they have a fairly common packaging for this kind of candy.
Description: caraginan jelly candies with creamy fruit filling.
By the way, caraganin is a very harmful substance, a thickener, retains its shape, and can cause stomach diseases. It also contains a bunch of various flavors and dyes, which are also very unhealthy. The main thing is to consume in small quantities and then they will not do much harm, BUT they are like seeds, it is impossible to come off them, they are very tasty and light.
In addition to the flavors presented, how common are the flavors such as: grapefruit, cherry, red berries, lemon-lime.
The main thing is not to get carried away, try not to regret it.
Advantages: Interesting jelly candies with juicy filling. Cool name, good taste
Disadvantages: Unnaturally thick consistency
I lived for myself and did not know about the existence of these wonderful sweets until my very good friend poked me in them with his nose, almost in the literal sense of the word, with exclamations: "Ah, my beloved!"
At that time (and it was about 5 years ago) "Mad Bee" sweets were in transparent wrappers, through which their multi-colored sides were visible. Now, every time you unfold the wrapper, a surprise awaits you - yellow, red, green? They are all delicious, but I prefer the red ones with raspberry flavor, they are too juicy! All the juiciness under the unnaturally dense gelatin (I don’t like this, I feel that it was not without chemistry, although I’ve never read the composition) in the form of a liquid fruit filler.
Jelly unglazed candies called "Mad Bee" from the Roshen trademark fell in love with me the first time, and now from time to time I indulge myself with a delicacy with an unusual filling! Smile
You can buy these sweets both by weight and packaged in 200 grams (depending on the store, such a package can cost about 15 UAH (31 rubles).
Each candy is wrapped in an opaque wrapper, so you can only find out the aroma and fruity taste of a treat by opening the wrapper. The tastes are very curious and appetizing: strawberries, cherries, wild berries, grapefruit, orange, lemon-lime. Personally, I really like cherry "bees"!
Each candy is jelly with a matte surface, and inside there is a liquid filling.
The composition of the sweets is short, there are concentrated juices of the corresponding berries. The calorie content is attractive for those who are on a diet, but cannot live without sweets - 320 kcal per 100 grams.
Advantages: tasty and inexpensive, variety, juicy taste, bright packaging
Disadvantages: quickly eaten, it is impossible to come off
Have you tried Crazy Bee sweets? I am delighted with them!
Roshen pleasantly surprises with delicious sweets that I love so much.
I think a lot of people have tried Crazy Bee candy. Delicious and light candy.
Price: about 30 hryvnia per kilogram
The color of the candies is different. Jelly candies with different tastes and all delicious.
They are light in themselves, so there is something to eat for 200 grams.
Packaging: Bright, colored candy wrappers that look very nice.
I advise you to try, who has not tried it yet!
My son is very fond of jelly candies, even more than chocolates. Crazy Bee - just like that, so sometimes I get them.
Price - 229 rubles 90 kopecks (bought in Spara).
The candies are light, so 300 grams is a decent amount. Taking into account the low price, it is clear that quite a lot of sweets can be bought for little money.
The wrappers of the bees are bright, yellow, they depict a bee with crazy eyes and a toothy mouth. In general, its appearance corresponds to the name - mad :)
Candy wrapped in wrappers
The composition on the candy wrapper is not indicated, so I looked at the manufacturer's website to familiarize myself with it. And there is little, if any, usefulness in the composition. But there is more than enough harmful: dyes and flavors are available in a wide variety and quantity. That is, it is not advisable to burst a bee in kilograms.
Calorie content (also taken from the site) - 322 kcal / 100 g.
Small, rounded candies. They come in different colors - green, yellow, red, flavors corresponding: orange, lemon, strawberry, etc.
Whole candy
This time I only got red and orange candies. Their tastes are almost the same.
The "body" of the candy is jelly, but a surprise awaits inside - a liquid filling. In jelly candy, the liquid insides are unexpected, but the surprise is pleasant.
Cutaway candy
Liquid filling
The surface of the sweets is sprinkled with powder (or something similar to it), so it does not melt in your hands and does not even get your hands dirty, unlike the same marmalade.
The taste is quite normal, although a slight chemical content is present. But candy attracts, eating one, the hand reaches for the next. Even though it's chemistry, it's hard to come off.
And what am I all writing about chocolates, as if other chocolates do not exist? I am getting better. One of the non-chocolate sweets that has impressed me lately is a marmalade creation of the now out-of-fashion Roshen confectionery factory called Mad Bee. Let's leave politics aside and impartially evaluate the candy with such a strange name. Moreover, after the plentiful in every sense of the New Year holidays, you want something simple and uncomplicated, but at the same time, of course, delicious.
The name, as I said, seems a little strange to me, because, in my opinion, the word “rabid” is often used in a negative way. Here, if I guess correctly, and the creators of the candy have nothing against the bee and even, I dare to hope, respect her, then one could choose other adjectives, more calm and neutral.
I can't mark the design of the candy wrapper with a plus sign. On the one hand, it seems bright and pretty - saturated red and yellow colors are used, a large image of the bee itself. But on the other hand, the name of the candy is hidden in the roll so thoroughly that you can only read it by opening the candy wrapper. I consider this a serious disadvantage, which many manufacturers sin.
In addition, the name of the factory is hidden in the same place, in a twist, which is even worse, since this information is the most important, but, unfortunately, is not available at the time of purchase.
Crazy Bee candy is available in many different flavors and with a variety of fruit fillings (information from the site):
- Orange,
- grapefruit,
- sour cherries,
- red berries,
- lemon-lime,
- strawberries.
I photographed only a couple of candies so that the external and internal content of the candy was clear (I apologize for the somewhat fuzzy image, the camera had difficulty focusing on such a blurry and translucent object).
The candies have a very convenient small and round shape. Inside it is the filling: soft, flowing, similar in consistency to jelly.
Sweets of all tastes that I came across turned out to be worthy. And I consider these sweets to be a rare success, since it is quite difficult to find such unassuming, but neat, not too high-calorie sweets for every day, with the possibility of their almost unlimited consumption.
