Yes I have even seen the flavored reeds and permitted my 10 year old daughter
to buy a couple. The flavor is just a gimmick. The reeds themselves are low
in quality. The surfaces are rough and they are very inconsistent. Even my
10 year old could tell that these were poor reeds and said don't bother to buy
any more.
