I'm an American whose been living in Osaka for two years and have always wondered what was up with those calorie free jellies all over the place. Last night my husband and I finally decided to try one, just to see what it tasted like (we tried a peach one). I expected it to have a very artificial flavor, and I'm not a big jello fan to begin with, but it was actually pretty delicious! I can definitely see how some people might abuse the stuff, but I also don't think it would hurt if a person was trying to watch their calories and wanted to use one replace a late night snack craving or something. It does fill up your tummy and take the edge off hunger. It never upset my stomach or anything either, which I was worried about, so overall I was impressed.
