I also got some pink thais a while ago and they have the dragon stamped on them.They were'nt as hard as some of the other non snake thais that ive tried and they also tasted like sugar.I was almost certain that they were fake,so i sent some off to be tested. And to my surprise they came back at 4.78mg/tab.So the moral of the story is that you cant go by taste,color or hardness to determine if they are real or not.You can try them to see,but all that tells you is that there is something in them,but you have no real way of knowing forsure unless they are tested by a lab.
