pink colored candy has a funny taste? I hate pink jelly beans. They taste funny to me. I got some malted milk eggs the other day and the pink ones had the same funny taste. Am I the only one who notices this? Maybe it is just me.

It leaves an after taste.I have noticed this. It isn't just you. Must be in the food dye. That is all I can figure.

Yes, it must be the dye that is used.

There are some people who can taste things that others cannot. I have never noticed a problem with pink candy, but then again I don't each much candy anymore.

Next time you eat a pink jelly bean you will know what I mean.

I'm not sure. I eat a lot of candy, and my favorite color is pink so I usually eat a lot of pink candy. I don't think it tastes any different than any of the other colors. Usually if a candy cane or jelly beans are pink it's because they are strawberry or cherry flavored, but I'm not sure about the whole malted milk eggs, I think they're all really supposed to taste alike. Maybe you got the strawberry milkshake ones?

I have never noticed this, but pink jelly beans are one of my favorite flavors. I never noticed that different colored milk eggs tasted different. SOmething to check out though.

Yes, I believe it is an additive or other ingredient type they use in the edible pink coloring dye. Though, I could be wrong. But I do notice the odd taste as well.

Someone in another discussion the other day said that they thought that the pink Peep's taste funny too.
