I just received my order of your imperials and they have a taste like gas or some other kind of yukky taste now what ?

I would definitely return them. I received some a couple weeks ago and they were great! The quality control of size is lacking. 75% of them are normal size. The rest range from normal to tiny. But, they are much cheaper than "Red Hots" so, I can live with that.

Did they come intact? Mine arrived with the top broken, the seal intact, and I haven't received any response from Amazon though I sent them photos. As to the actual candies, I felt they had a gummier substance than Brach's cinnamon candies, so that might be what you're tasting. I know they were harder to melt, but had a lovely cinnamon flavoring.

We received ours and they were fantastic. They were even better than I remember from my childhood. I would rate them a ten out of ten, Fabulous! If I were you I would contact Amazon and return them because something is wrong.

Mine were fine, although I received them a few months ago. I've been eating them and they are great; the container keeps them fresh.

The company is very good with returns, go to your order page and let Amazon know asap and set up your return label and credit.

My wife and I both like "RedHots" brand. We bought THESE because of the low cost. We found Hoosier Hill to be just about as good as RedHots. My tastebuds are in very good shape, and we found NO problem like you described. Sounds like your batch got contaminated somehow.

Something is wrong. Return them. I have an order I'm still snacking on. They taste fine.

I received the black one and it smells like it has been dipped in gasoline. I have initiated a return, and am pretty displeased that I have to go through the process of returning. This product should be removed from Amazon immediately.

I opened them about 5 weeks ago. There was a faint smell of vanilla then. It is completely gone now.

I wondered the same thing. I really don't know, all I can say is they smell like rancid oil and my kids couldn't stand the smell either. Don't know if they are old, contaminated or they use something to whiten them that makes them smell. I used yellow ones from the company before that smelled like honey

I just tried mine for the first time. It has no flavor to me. What's so un-palatable about it?

Edward, thank you for notifying us of the color and taste issue. We are checking into it. Please know, the color should be a very light brown but the taste should NOT be bitter. The taste will be extremely sweet but not bitter. The quality of the product should be fine since the contents are always the freshest available and sealed. If you experience this again, please notify us with the lot number and we will send a replacement or refund your money. Thanks again, Tim

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Something must be wrong with it, I've never had any bad tastes with any of the bottles that I've purchased. Maybe contact seller about a replacement.

All tanks are stainless steel 304 grade and the housing is food grade silicon. The plastic or metallic taste happens because the unit was not properly flushed at arrival or because the lack of use that allows the water to sit down inside the tanks and housing for too long (happens with all coolers in the market). This could also require to flush the first or second glass when serving, but it goes away.

It is normal. It's an indication Idlis are done. Turn off the gas. Let it sit for 10 minutes before you serve

I bought the can and there was absolutely no sound when I opened it and no effervescent taste. I usually pour mine in a cup and there's no fizzing or bubbles whatsoever. I highly doubt it's carbonated. Maybe the others were old/rancid?

I didn't notice that on mine. It sounds weird but you might try licking it and seeing if it tastes like anything. For better or worse your food will end up tasting like anything you cook it in. If it tastes like nothing you are fine.

I did not notice a metal taste but my unit is starting to rush . I have tried several times to get a hold of mastered but they don't respond.not happy

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

I'd get rid of it. Once it goes sour it's no good and can't be saved. PRI-G should be added before the gas goes stale.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.
