I crave snacks and these Power-Pops really help. They take me a good 1/2 hour to get one down and by that time my craving is gone and the Hoodia has done away with my appetite. With only 28 calories per pop they are a guilt free snack and appetite controller. I have been using them for a week and have lost 2 very stubborn pounds and hope that I will continue to lose with the help that they give me in controlling my snacking.

While I admit these lollipops taste pretty good, (much better that I had expected)they are marketed and sold as a weight loss aid so they should do more than just taste good. I mean, if I simply wanted a good tasting lollipop I could buy a case of Dum Dums for a fraction of the price. The instructions say to drink an 8oz glass of water before eating the pop the "activate the ingredients" and an 8oz glass of water after to "flush the ingredients through your system". Who wants to eat after just downing 16oz of water, lollipop or no lollipop? Uhhhhh......do you think maybe those 16 ounces of water have a little more to do with filling you up & reducing your hunger than that lollipop? My guess would be, probaby so!

I bought this product in great anticipation of eating a nice snack that will assist with my appetite and cravings. However, what I got was a pack of 7 NOT 30 lollipops! I have contacted the seller directly as well as via Amazon. There has not been a response to my emails and I have yet to receive the remaining 23 that I am entitled. So I have to say BEWARE!

I just received this product and popped a pop immediately---I know hoodia works and if you hate to take pills (like I do) then I thought this was a great alternative.

They taste great. I tried the rootbeer. Tasted like any rootbeer pop I've ever had.

It lasted 40 minutes---great!

It is a little bit gritty---I guess that's the ground up hoodia because you can see flecks of it in the pop. You don't really care as you lick it, doesn't seem like a big deal---except after 40 minutes, uhhh---yes---your mouth starts feeling it. Let's put it this way, I probably can't lick another one until this evening or tomorrow. It's not painful, but you are aware that your mouth is getting a little rough.

I would think they could do a better job with getting it smooth.

Here are the ingredients which are a little bit misleading. Guarana (what is that), L-tryosine, Citromax, Hoodia, Vitamin b12, Corn syrup, sugar, natural colors and flavors. Now this is disappointing because I thought it was going to be just or mainly hoodia and I know hoodia is all natural. It says the pops are all natural, but I don't know what these other things are.

I am giving it 3 stars because I really like the idea of a lollipop and it tasted exactly like one. No aftertaste. They do taste good, I would eat another one right now if I wasn't afraid it would make my mouth too raw. Hoodia works, I know that, and this method of delivery is a lot better for me! But I am troubled by the other ingredients---I don't think I would have bought it if I had known it's not a whole hoodia pop. I have ordered them now, so I will give them a try, but I think it is definitely misleading. Now I have to go figure out what I just ate.

I'll be back with an update.

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!

Most flavors tasted good, but I didn't see any major changes in appetite. For me not worth the money.

I love these pops. I gave to my 14 years old Brother in-law some of these pops and he loves it. The reason why i share with him because he is over 100 lbs (over weight). my mother in-law want him to cut out some sweets. He doesnt want to cut out all the sweets so i let him have my hoodia pops. It did help him to lose weight.

These pops cost alot but i do have to say made me dont want to eat other junk foods anymore. I will buy them again!

I have had these for three weeks. They seem to really curb my hunger and they last a really long time, but so far I have not noticed much of a weight loss. I like most of the flavors but a few of them were awful. I did order two more bags to give them a chance, but this time I ordered from another source so I could pick out the flavors that I wanted...only saw the assortment at Amazon. I am buying them just for the fact that they last so long and they keep me from munching. I should eventually lose weight from that one benefit alone.

The flavors are delicious and they really do provide an energy pick-me-up (without a jolt) and dull my appetite. I have one in the morning instead of coffee and one in the afternoon (around 3:00/4:00 when I always start to fizzle out). They made my tongue pretty raw at first, but then I figured out the way to eat these is to let them hang out in my mouth and slowly dissolve.

I am a Paraplegic and am paralized on my right side from a stroke 10 years ago. I Love the Power-Pops when I want to snack as I know they will not elevate my blood sugar and give me the highs and lows as a candy bar would. I feel so energized with this candy that I wheel around and clean the things I can reach. I love all of the flavors all 9 from cherry to sour apple Back To Nature cares about people and their needs. I love all of Sherrys products. She has the right thing for everyone!
