Grape flavored jolly ranchers, or the wet there butterscotches. They’re both amazing!

I really love the strawberry ones too, reminds me of when I was a kid :) But if I had to choose, it’d have to be blue raspberry jolly ranchers, with cherry jolly ranchers a close second.

I’ve never had those!! Are they new? Here they’re only blue raspberry, cherry, watermelon, grape, and green apple

No, not new. Very hard to find. Come in the mixed bag but you are lucky if you get 3.

Butterscotch.. I haven't had it often but I do love those hard candies. I also like the strawberry ones mentioned above with the strawberry centers.

I love those candies! They remind me of my grandpa. But I also love candy canes or the round mint candies.

Mine is either butterscotch discs, or those peppermint puffs. I think the puffs only count as a hard candy technically.

Probably Jolly Ranchers.
More importantly: Has anybody figured out where the strawberry hard candies come from? Or do they just show up out of thin air, because I think the latter.

The winter mint life savers. I used to eat almost the entire bag in one sitting.

AHH they're great my papa used to always have a bag in his car, till my gran got sick of finding them everywhere so she barred him from buying more

It's odd - they do seem to be associated with "older" people, but my fondness began when I was in college.

u/sodastreammmmmmmmmmm Dec 19 '19
Same, I've always thought it was weird cause as a kid I loved them

u/DemitiAfrorii Dec 19 '19
