Customer Reviews of Power Pops Weight Loss Lollipops with Hoodia by Fun Unlimited Inc. - 30 Count
Customer Review: Love them
Summary: 4 Stars
I got these a little over a week ago and have been having several a day. I haven't be following the "1 pop 30 minutes before each meal" guidelines because my meals are pretty random. I really just pop one in my mouth whenever I'm hungry or just want something yummy to suck on. All the flavors that I have tasted so far are good. There are a few of the fruity ones I am not too fond of, but really, they taste a lot better than I expected them to. Plus, there is a variety of flavors for your different moods. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something fruity, sometimes something more candy like, etc.
The only complaint I have on them is that they sometimes make my mouth a little bit raw. No big deal though.
As for working - who knows if they really do work or it's psychological, but I do believe that my hunger cravings are mostly gone or surpressed when I'm done with it. I mean it doesn't make you feel FULL and you can still eat after, but you don't feel as hungry. A lot of time I suck on one and then go eat so that I don't consume as much. But sometimes if I'm hungry I'll suck on one, but if I'm still hungry afterwards and it's not time for a meal, I'll just pop another in my mouth and it keeps me happy for the time being.
So overall, they're delicious, and pretty effective. Don't expect them to do most or all of the work though. You have to be reasonable and know to limit yourself when eating.
Customer Review: What fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am satisfied with the product overall. I have tried about six flavors so far, and most of them were very tasty. (I like banana and strawberry the most among them) Other reviewers mentioned about the raw and rough texture, but personally I don't mind a little texture. I think it's more fun for my mouth.
They work by spoiling appetite a bit, so I am less likely to snack on other junk food. This won't work if you are not feeding yourself enough. In other words, the appetite suppression is not strong enough to keep you from eating actual meals, but if you eat just because of the boredom or stress, power pops can be hugely helpful.
However, with some flavors, I felt medicine-like taste. (cherry especially) It might be just the hoodia taste, and some flavor are better at masking it. (I found banana very smooth) So, next time I order, I will order from other vendors that let me choose flavors. Another complaint is, like half of the bag was orange and grape flavors. I was looking forward to trying all types of flavor, but I was disappointed to learn I didn't get a single white chocolate flavor out of 60 candies.
Other then that, it taste very natural-like and was shipped very fast (1 1/2 days) with the Prime member trial shipping.
Customer Review: Satisfies sweet cravings
Summary: 4 Stars
These pops taste better than you'd expect; I particularly like the cherry, watermelon, and pink lemonade flavors. The other flavors are Green Apple, Pina Colada, Rootbeer Float, Cinnamon, and Butter Pecan. They all taste good to me, and I'm pretty picky. They definitely help in a big way if you're trying to diet or watch what you eat.
If you're a "bored eater," who snacks late at night or when watching tv (like me!) I highly recommend getting these... they satisfy the urge to snack, and at under 30 calories each you can do so without feeling guilty later. They also take a nice long time to finish, longer than say, a Tootsie pop, so the activity of eating one is satisfying.
My only complaint is that the consistency of the pops is a little rough, which can make your mouth feel kind of raw if you eat too aggressively. I'd compare it to how a sour gummy candy, like Sour Patch Kids, can sometimes leave your mouth feeling sensitive afterwards. I also wish you could specifically buy flavors you like, rather than a large 30 pack... but I suspect that will happen if more people start buying them! So buy away!
Customer Review: GREAT SUBSTITUTE FOR DIABETICS and STOP SMOKING
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is not your typical review for this product in terms of what this product technically is solded and advertised for, but a good alternative for other reasons. For one, I am a diabetic and limited to the amount of carbohydrates one can have per meals/snacks. These pops are very low in carbs in comparison to a vast amount of candies that are sold, including the "sugar free" ones as well! The pops last a lot longer in comparison to the other candies and you have a variety of flavors that are good. Additionally, I was a long long time smoker and remember "Kojack" in the past who sucked on a sucker all the time. I needed to stop smoking, did not want stop-smoking products - those can be also very costly, and got an ideal of finding lolipops. These were a very good aid for me in terms of stop smoking. In my case, I got the best use times 2 with these pops and suggest them for both uses. I continue to use these pops, not so much for the stop-smoking anymore, but in my case for being a diabetic. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THESE!!!Customer Review: Surprisingly good appetite suppressant
Summary: 5 Stars
These pops really work for me. I don't know if it's the fact that they take a while to consume, that they provide a few calories or that they have the ingredient Hoodia but they really help me control my appetite. I don't feel anxious, jittery or have a racing heart as I often do with other appetite suppressant and most of them are really tasty. (I am NOT a sugar fiend, either, but for some reason they are not "too" sweet.) Some of the flavors are not great. These, for me, are root beer and candy cane. My favorite is strawberry with pina colada coming in a close second.
If you're interested in trying this product, I recommend starting off with a small sampler package and figuring out what you like. At over a dollar a pop, it may not be worthwhile to order a large sampler package only to find out you've got half a dozen pops you can barely stand to eat.
