I can't ever see a Jolly Rancher and not think of... that.

lol fuck you asshole for resurfacing that trauma

[โ€“] Aldrond 1 points 1 year ago

Might actually have been better if an asshole was involved.

Jolly ranchers just don't have the shelf stability for the candy bowl, there's no getting around it.

What are these called? I have a bowl of Andes Mints just sitting out on the counter, and after last weekend's visitors I discovered someone put a single one of these with the Andes Mints

[โ€“] BitingChaos 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Search 'strawberry bon bons' on Amazon or something.

They all say hard candy, but they should still have the soft center.

[โ€“] ngdev 3 points 1 year ago

That was fast. Thanks! I actually like these so they may replace my mints when those are gone.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They say once you turn 60, the government sends you a bowl with these candies in the mail to pass out to youngsters and grandchildren.

[โ€“] camelCaseGuy 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, this is international? You're telling me that grandmas everywhere were giving this to grandchildren? Is there a secret society of grandmas or something?

I mean, I'm from Argentina, and these hard candies were my live and soul when she picked me up from school.

[โ€“] damnfinecoffee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm from the US, can confirm these are standard issue candies provided to all grandmas here

[โ€“] DrQuint 2 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] azdood85 1 points 1 year ago

Im always creeped out and mildly shocked at first. But then the sugar floods over my tongue and I'm just happy as can be.

Too bad they only come in strawberry. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Imagine if they had those bottom things in all the flavors of jolly rancher, too.
