BA Raspberry calcium chews vs Celebrate berry calcium chews

A while ago I asked for opinions from anyone who had tried both of these and only a few people had, so I bought a bag of the Celebrate chews (I had been using the BA chews) to try.  So for the past week I have been using one of each for one of my three daily calcium doses.  (The price is almost identical for a bag of 60 and so is the calcium dose.)

Everyone's taste is different, of course, so flavor is subjective, but FWIW...
- the Celebrate chews do not have as strong a flavor (which may be a positive or negative, depending on your tastebuds)
- the Celebrate is definitely a generic kind of berry flavor as opposed to the specific BA raspberry flavor
- the Celebrate chews are grittier than the BA chews 

The taste of the Celebrate chews is fine, although I personally prefer the stronger raspberry flavor.  The grittiness of the Celebrate, though, is the reason I will personally be sticking with the BA chews.

I've not tried the berry but really enjoy chewing Celebrate chocolate and caramel at the same time.

Hmmm.. I also have the BA caramel and chocolate (and lemon, LOL), but it never occurred to me to eat the caramel and chocolate together!  I'll have to try that.

I've never tried the Celebrate but I live very close to the Bariatric Advantage warehouse so I pick them up in person and don't have to pay shipping.  I love the raspberry and lemon. (They taste like starburst)  I love love love the caramel.  I use them for my sweet tooth when I need something sweet instead of candy and just subtract them from my swallow calcium. My son loves the chocolate.

I got samples of the Celebrate chews and I like them much better.  I have tried all the samples of the BA chews and only liked the caramel.  So for me it will be the Celebrat chews and Calcet creamy bites (when I can afford them).
