From there I will eat the green ones if they are apple, but pretty much after that I throw them out. Not a fan of orange or lemon or banana or whatever other warped flavors they've come up with.<br /><br />Of course, just about every company has different gummy bear flavoring guidelines so you must sample each color when opening an unknown bag to ensure you're not missing anything you like. <br /><br />Sigh. I make this waaaay too complicated, and I don't even sort by color! I just grab the ones I like and toss the rest.L. T.
