Over $4 apiece...is WAY beyond my price range for fruit (!!!) And they would spoil before I got to the end of them.

Nope...none for us. We don't ingest sugar from any source anymore.

Mmm. They look so good. But with our local sales tax that's nearly $5 per orange. Yikes. I'll stick to the $5 bag of oranges or Cuties at the grocery store.

Pricing is ridiculous on these, however I am curious to see the reviews.

I used to purchase the Cushman Honeybells when QVC used to have those. I loved them for a time, but they went downhill and became a huge waste of money. They were no longer orange in color, but brownish, green, and damaged. Not as tasty either. Many, including myself, stopped buying them completely. I'm assuming that's why QVC stopped offering them in the last couple of years.

I'd like to see if this brand looks and tastes anything like the presentation implies for that kind of price.

That's quite expensive for a glass of orange juice. No thanks. Easy pass for me!

We used to look forward to them each year but they were not good the last 2 times we got them so I no longer order them.

Fruit is loaded with fiber and cancer fighting antioxidants. The fiber makes the sugar digest more slowly. Fruit is good for you as long as you keep it to a few pieces a day. Soda, bakery, and sugar added to sauces, etc is bad for you. I eat a whole food plant based diet & I'm at an ideal healthy weight. My yearly lab work is always excellent. There's no need for me to take pills for high blood pressure or cholesterol even though I'm in my later 60's. I don't understand how anyone could stay of a diet free of fruit long term. Don't you ever miss a juicy orange? I sure would!

Your comment made me lol when I realized your avatar is, indeed, not following your house rule of no sugar from any source.

(Love hummers, btw)

My Mom ordered these a couple of years ago for herself and sent some to me. Both were half spoiled.

I loved buying them from Cushmans as they were always delicious. I looked forward to their TSV every year. These are coming from CA instead of FL and they seem to be more expensive . I think it's going to be a pass for me.

CUSHMANS was sold to Harry and David way back in 2008.

They kept their catalog and website until 2014 when they then became fully under the HARRY AND DAVID brand catalog and website.

you can find CUSHMANS HONEYBELLS on their website.
