When I eat too many I feel kind of queesy like I've eaten spoiled food, but they are just too addictive. They make my teeth hurt too. There's very little to redeem these damn things in terms of health.

Welcome to sugar addiction.
in short it'd be a challenge to find anything natural in those things!
Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Food Acids (330,331),Preservatives (211,202,223), Flavours, Colours (102,110,122,123,133,150d).'Natural' Ingredients:
Water - Check
Sugar - Check
Food Acids
330 (Citric Acid) - Check
331 (Sodium Citrates) - CheckSeems pretty easy to find those (cant be bothered looking up the preservative and colour numbers to find the naturally occurring ones
Not sure refined sugar from sugar cane is 'natural'
why not?
unless you're definition of natural means untouched/unchanged, picked from a tree kind of naturalI did look them up - I posted the decode page and many were not natural. Yep plenty of natural things for sure and plenty of non natural.
Natural sugars are found in fruit as fructose and in dairy products, such as milk and cheese, as lactose. … Refined sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beets, which are processed to extract the sugar. It is typically found as sucrose, which is the combination of glucose and fructose.
…mmmmmmm
The refined sugar (from sugar cane) is added into zooper doopers.
Natural sugars (such as in Quelsh) only contain 'natural sugars' from the fruit juice (and not any added sugar; from refined sugar cane).But that's okay we are all entitled to our own truth - Oprah
LOL 100%
Ingredients:
water
sugar
citric acid
flavours
colours (122, 150d, 110, 102, 123, 133)
Preservatives (202,211, 223)Water – on its own, general quite a good liquid to consume!
Sugar – 12.7g per 70ml tube! 1 tsp of granulated sugar equals 4 grams of sugar, therefore each tube has 3 teaspoons of sugar in it! The RDI (based on research from 2003 not the latest studies) for children is 3-4 (so 12-16g) teaspoons per day during preschool and primary school years and once you get to 11/12yrs old into teenage years, it goes up to 5 – 8 teaspoons (20 – 32g) per day.
The following information I have sourced from The Chemical Maze App, which for anyone interested, I highly highly recommend purchasing it.

Ripped from: http://www.rosiemccarthy.com/school-canteen-toxic-food/TIL I'm a survivor.
I attribute my survival to not using them as IV drips, but having one or two every few days in summer, as a child.
The watermelon flavour one is worth all them symptoms and more.
I have hayfever and asthma and haven't had an issue with any of these flavours. Id imagine if any of those symptoms were real you'd have to be eating more than a pack a day. Be careful, you don't ever want to be a pack a day Zooper dooper kind of guy do you?
Anyone know if the Sourz have Sulfuric Acid in them? Must be getting weak in my old age!
It's extra citric acid and they're disgusting, I bought a pack to try them out and want to throw out the remainder.
ill take them, they are amazing!
Kent Brockman: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charge that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down 80%, while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking 900%?
Homer: Oh people can come up with statistics to prove anything Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.Thanks for all that information from an app. Fortunately I am cynical by nature so I did some of my own research which casts a different light on some of the alarmist claims such as "banned in the US".
If everything above was true, all those polite little kiddies sitting quietly and clapping appropriately at the BBL games on TV would be off their brains, limbs wildly slinging around, a look of spaced out goofiness in their eyes. Wait, hang on…
I agree that reducing artificial colours and flavours is a worthwhile cause, but we must also act with all available evidence, not just selectiveness, unless you believe in conspiracy theories and the "real news" that is being suppressed, then by all means, go eat another Zooper Dooper and listen to this absolute true quote from Al Gore, the mightiest of all environmentalists whose electricity bill for one year was more than A$40,000 for his home;
"Why won't you believe me! I'm super serial, ManBearPig is real! I'm super duper serial!" -Al Gore
TL;DR Zooper Doopers are bad, m'kay? And the amusing thing is that are handed out as a good treat at schools around the country by teachers to reward good behaviour, but not any old good behaviour. They are reserved for what is acceptable behaviour from miscreant students who normally do not live up to the behavioural norms which we expect of students.
I go through a pack of the sour ones a week, time to stock up.
Teeth pics?
What teeth?
Careful, you mess with the toothless tiger, you get the gums! ;)

Man everytime a post like this comes up there is always ONE with sand up his vagina who feels the need to post nutritional bs.
It's all about MODERATION. Don't go preaching to others about what they should or should not eat just because you cannot control your own eating habits. Has anyone ever died from eating these? (profanity) no. If fact I can bet almost all adults my age has had these at school growing up, has every single one of them contracted health issues? (profanity) no.
Giving your kids (or yourself) one or two of these a week will not do any harm, as long as you know how to consume with MODERATION.
Wanna get into nutritional bs? Guess what happens if you drink too much of those 'healthy' Boost fruit juices? (profanity) diabetes.
TLDR: Consume with moderation, if you cannot do it, don't buy this yourself and stfu.
Also, this is a fantastic price.
After reading this think I will just pay for my BBL cricket tickets.
After glugging down long island's all evening and even after reading everyones speel on this product i'll continue to pay 50c per stick from the work freezer.

Mr we're all gonna die someday
Also I somehow got dihydrogen monoxide poisoning by just standing outside tonight.
May the God of zooper doopers save me
blessed
Nasty stuff that DHMO, lucky you're still with us to tell the tale…
Not as bad as that Hydrogen Hydroxide though- that's stuff makes DHMO look like a Frozen Coke.
I just want to know, why aren't they called ice pops?
Wish they had a version of these which had about 20% of the sugar. They are way too sweet.
I really like the Quelch juice based ones, but even on special (now) they're nowhere near this cheap…I think they're about $5 ATM…
Ah thanks, I wasn't aware of Quelch, I'll try those next time. I'd rather pay a bit extra for the healthier option.
Know if these have artificial colours?
