Trader Joe's Gummy Tummies

Nathan Rodgers, his wife Sonia, and their friend Russ Shelly and his wife Sandy set out almost two years ago to review the cult grocer's some 4,500 products for their site What's Good at Trader Joe's?, and so far they've covered more than 300 products. While the reviewers are fans of Trader Joe's, they take reviewing seriously — their first review was even negative. Here's their process:

• They rate products on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the best.

• For any post, two people rate the product.

• Reviewers give their overall impression and up to five points each.

For Russ, Sonia, Shelly, and Sandy, Trader Joe's Gummy Tummies fell into the category of Sugary Impulse Buys. Noted Russ, "You know that row, with all the frozen goodies down below and the candies up above? That's Temptation Lane right there, partner. There's way too much to choose from, so we might've missed one of your favorites, but we're the ones with the blog." Here's their take on the product:

Trader Joe's Gummy Tummies (8/10 points)

If they only more closely resembled penguins (as advertised) instead of frumpy bird-shaped hags...regardless, the Gummy Tummies are soft, squishy, and sweet yet not too sugary. They just might be the perfect gummy.
