First off, and this is strictly my opinion, of the mentioned morph genetic problems, kinking in caramels to me is hands down the most bothersome. Secondly, I think the Ultramels I'm seeing blow away caramels so if they also don't have the genetic issues, I think I'm going to hold off for those and blow off the caramels. Not trying to offend anyone that does keep caramels, just my opinion after researching as well as reading the responses.
