Can't really say the two purple types are distinguishable to me, but that doesn't matter because all three types are delicious. These have that smooth coating which, when bitten, start to crumble and dissolve into strongly flavored grape dust around the enjoyable chewy core -- like Jelly Belly or other gourmet jelly beans, but so much nicer. Often Jelly Belly flavors have no depth or are too sweet. These taste like concentrated real grapes, with tanginess and sweetness balanced, and the bag has a LOT of jelly beans, way more than most gummy bags. Very good value for money.
