Well I think the texture is not as nice in the last few years compared with what it was like a decade ago - less gummy, more plasticky. Reminds me of Panda licorice nowadays, which I’m not a fan of (consistency is too tough for my liking).
I don’t find Jacobsen’s too salty at all! It’s a salt company based on the Oregon coast so their whole thing is salt, but I find they do a really good job of making things balanced. If you try it, would be curious to hear what you think :)
