One of my favs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having jolly ranchers on hand. They helped me so much on craving when I wanted to quit smoking. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to if I didn’t have something that actually worked like this in place of it. Plus they are delicious! I’m obsessed with blue raspberry and watermelon. Cherry is pretty good too but not my top on the list.

A Lil Disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jolly Ranchers Were A Childhood Candy Growing Up And I Must Say I'm A Lil Disappointed. The Flavors Aren't The Same. It Use To Be So Bold And Fruity That It Made Your Mouth Water! Now It Taste Like Pure Syrup And Cornstarch. Just Wish They Were The Same.

3 Original Flavors

I grew up in Arvada Co. Jolly Rancher was a block from middle school. I remember smelling the individual candies being made daily. Green Apple, Watermelon and Cinnamon. During Halloween, the company employees would line up on Ward Rd. and pass out small bags with imperfect Jolly Ranchers to the cars passing by. A bag per person. Great memories. And then Hershey had bought the company. And years later. BAM-In 2002, Hershey closed the Arvada, Colorado plant and moved the manufacturing of the candy to Mexico to save costs. At some point a person so smart in the company said, I know Cinnamon was an original, but let's get rid of it. No longer do the original 3 exist from a small ice cream company, to a little hard candy to sell during the winter months. And as I read the comments, some robot reply is pasted on to the ones saying sorry, no matter how many people would request this, Hershey is a huge company and no one cares. I am betting the only reason the orphanage is still sponsored by Hershey is due to the fact it is required under the original man himself. Such a sad company now who is saying they will need to raise the chocolate prices due to cocoa becoming more expensive..Hershey annual gross profit for 2024 was $5.301B, a 6.06% increase from 2023. Thank goodness for jacking prices or the suits will not be able to eat. Appreciate all you haven't done.

Delicious but don’t expect a lot of the good flavo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The candy is absolutely delicious, but it's important to manage your expectations when it comes to the variety of flavors. The blue raspberry and watermelon flavors are definitely the highlights, bursting with mouth-watering sweetness. However, it's worth noting that these flavors are not as abundant as one might hope. Unfortunately, the majority of the bag is dominated by the grape flavor, which can be a bit disappointing for those seeking a more diverse taste experience. Despite this drawback, the overall taste of the candy is still enjoyable, and the moments when you do encounter the blue raspberry and watermelon flavors are truly delightful.

Fun candy for everyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this assorted bag of Hersheys Jolly Ranchers offers something for everyone. I shared this with my friends and family which was a great hit. I was particularly fond of the huge jolly ranchers.

Bad choices.

I bought a mixed bag. I realize this and expected it to be a variety of flavors. What is disappointing is that over half the bag was blue raspberry. This must be how the get rid them. As they are awful and no one would intentionally buy them. Seriously disappointed for the amount spent to have to throw away half of the product.

Sweet Life!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A bag full of deliciousness!!! My favorite flavor is watermelon!! The green apple is second! Nice for a sweet treat in lunches. I carry a few in my purse for when a sweet attack approaches!! Works best to calm fussy children I've discovered!!! Would make great treats for birthday take home bags as well

Tasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like everyone else I LOVE candies even if it is not healthy. I have tried Jolly Ranchers hard candy more than five times through my years, and I never stop wanting more. I enjoy savoring the taste until it dissolves into smaller pieces.

Got the blues from too many blues.

Been a fan of JR for 50 years. Recently I thought it was my imagination that there seemed to be an overwhelming amount of blue raspberry, which I don't like, so I thought I would count the flavors from a 50 oz bag. Here is the count if anyone is interested; grape 30, green apple 31, cherry 49, watermelon 13 and blue raspberry, a whopping 114. Nope, it wasn't my imagination. According to this website watermelon is the most popular but the the least included in this bag. Why? Tired of buying candy I don't want so time to move on.

Sweet and tart, for adults and kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had a Jolly Rancher in years but I was so excited to taste them again and in different forms from the original small hard candy. The lollipops are delicious and give you extra time to savor your candy, while the stix candy is a new and refreshed way to enjoy your favorite flavor. Completely recommend giving this classic a try!
