Is this the original hard kind or the newer chewy kind?

These are the newer chewy kind, I was disappointed

when exactly are you suppose to eat them, now, or how much later?

You're supposed to eat one Now & one Later, like....Later.

does it have watermelon & strawberry ones...this doesnt tell flavors

It has grape, green apple, banana, and cherry if i remember correctly. No watermelon or strawberry... little disappointed myself tbh but still good

Yes! only the “chewy” version contains egg whites The original mix is vegan according to google and the ingredient list.

OG Now N Laters

Just like many others, I'm sure you're readingthe reviews to see if these are the classic hard candy's that we all loved to eat back in the day. I could only find the Chewy versions around my local stores so I decided to ordered this one on Amazon since it had good reviews. I'll tell you right now that this is it. The flavors, the hard texture, the wrapping paper ripping and sticking to the candy when you unwrap it. The flavors were all good and just how I remembered it but the green apple hit me with nostalgia the most. It's definitely the one but I will admit that you'll get those pieces that are a little soft but not as soft and chewy as those abominations they sell in stores nowadays. The price is pretty reasonable for the amount you get. Definitely would recommend this if you loved the classic Now N Laters.

Fresh, Edible Delights

Overpriced but arrived intact, fresh & edible. Nice occasional snack/treat. 3rd or 4th time ordering these from amazon.Individually wrapped packages of each flavor. I opened each pack & put single candies back inside container so we wouldn't have to fight with unwrapping whenever we wanted a quick snack/treat. Better for ease of access but I certainly prefer them individually packaged like they come.No damage to container. Will buy again.

My childhood-update Horrible and Nasty

This is my second time buying this candy. First time was wonderful and they were in Mini package of five for each flavor. These are several bags on the original mix and are singles. Well they are all old and sticky. In every bag, the cherry-flavored was super old and stuck on the inside of each bag. You will try to pull one out and hand would be sticky. . Everything was nasty. I will not buy again because you can’t return it

Yessss!!! The right original ones.

So happy! These are the hard original long lasting chews. I love them. I hate getting the soft ones so when I saw another reviewer say hers were hard I took a chance. Yep! They did not disappoint. Now I need to pace myself and not eat too many. I got banana, apple, grape, strawberry and cherry flavors. The best buy date on the lid says April 2023 so that’s a couple years away. I’m not sure if this makes a difference. Bottom line is, I’m happy and they’re long last lasting like I wanted.
