Is this a joke

I came here to not really write a review but to let you know that 3 bags in a row of the hard candy variety bags have had this kind of unbalanced flavors. The blue rasberry, while good, is not the dominant flavor I would choose. See pic of a bag I just bought and opened. Do better at evening out the flavors to equal counts per bag. I know you can.

NO MORE Mountain Berry, Red Raspberry, Lemon, white pineapple but you keep grape with more grape than any other color. Hardly anyone says ooooh I love grape. Hershey you have made the worst decisions. I make Jolly Rancher lollipops and I hate your decision making.

Is it really that difficult to distribute the 5 flavors (grape, green apple, blue raspberry, cherry and watermelon) into each bag EQUALLY? I imagine the system is automated and can be programmed to deposit 35 pieces of each flavor into a single 50oz bag. Same goes for the other bag sizes. I've read that the bags are filled according to weight and not number of pieces or flavors. What I'm gleaning from all the reviews/questions/comments I've been reading here, is that many people are unhappy about the flavor inequalities contained in most bags you sell. If you just made the flavors equal, most people would stop complaining. I keep reading the same canned responses of "we'll let the marketing department know", but as consumers of your product, that is an unsatisfying response. The 50oz bag I just opened had the following: 74 blue raspberry 55 green apple 51 grape 40 cherry 15 watermelon I will admit that watermelon and green apple are my favorites (since my little league days in the 1970's), I tolerate grape and blue raspberry, and I give away all the cherry. Human beings figured out how to put men on the moon with little of the technology we have today. Are you expecting us to believe you are unable to figure out how to put equal amounts of each flavor into a bag of candy? And if you really can't (or won't) do that, then why not sell bags of single flavors? Clearly you have customers who are passionate about the flavors they love. Even better, sell Jolly Ranchers in BULK at grocery stores. Like Winco. Which stopped selling Jolly Ranchers in their bulk bins about 3 years ago here in Idaho. With bulk, the consumer can choose the flavors they want. I buy the 50oz bag very often because I keep a candy dish on my desk to share with co-workers. In all the bags I have ever purchased, never have I had a bag with 74 watermelon candies in it. Not once.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my all time favorite candies in classic and fun new (to me) flavors like blue raspberry. Eating these gave me a heaping dose of nostalgia. I took one star off for not including the elusive peach Jolly Rancher. My favorite flavor has been gone for years. However, I heard they'd recently made a comeback and was hopeful they'd be included in this bag. Sadly, no. Still fun to eat and share with my friends and family!

Jolly Ranchers are a party in your face! This bag lasted a pretty long time, even though I couldn't keep myself from grabbing one or twelve lol. I would challenge myself to see how thin I could get the sticks before breaking them. My favorites will always be watermelon, green apple. My only sad part of this review is that I've never tried strawberry flavor. Would recommend to EVERYONE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome product. The flavors are AMAZING! Makes a great way to get through between meals. My husband takes these to work and I like to eat them throughout the day to keep from snacking. I highly suggest them for my friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exact same product and quality I remember from being a kid, this Jolly Rancher assortment let me share that same experience with my children who thoroughly enjoyed each product...especially the lollipops. I would add some images, but the container holding this product is about empty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to eat jolly ranchers as a kid before they even can in so many varieties or flavors. I still love them just the same. The hardest part is not biting the candy. You can savor the flavor is you just let it melt in you mouth, it last longer that way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best tasting candy for my sweet tooth! It's just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. The intense fruit flavors are delicious and satisfying. It's perfect for a candy bowl or to keep in your pocket. I love these!
