Jolly Rancher "Stix"

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 6:41 am

My school has plenty of people walking around with candy for sale. It seems to be for some sort of fundraiser, but every now and then, I decide to buy some candy. Earlier this week, I left my money at home, for the most part, and couldn't buy any lunch or even a candy bar, but a friend of mine who happens to be one of those candy sellers had a cheaper item for sale, jolly ranchers in stick form. I had $0.50 on me and bought two of those with that money. They taste just like typical hard jolly ranchers, but I had never seen jolly ranchers in this form before and I kind of like it. When I inquired about him being able to restock his supply of them (they're cheap and last much longer than a candy bar, so I'm interested in buying more), he told me that they weren't available for sale anymore. I've never seen these in any stores and no candy sellers in my school can sell more, but I want more. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and why they are so rare? Is there a way to order these by mail, somehow?

http://www.nostalgiccandy.com/jollyrancherstix.aspx Thirty cents per bar is a pretty good deal, right? If you buy the box then it comes to twenty-five.

Go down to your local wholesale warehouse (BJ's Costco, Sam's Club, etc.) and buy yourself a huge bag for less than $10. It'll last a lot longer.

I get 6 pound bags of gummi bears for 6 bucks. :thumbsup:

From those reviews and the title of the first website linked, my thoughts on the age and popularity of these things just faded from a decade or two ago seem confirmed.

I haven't been inside the local Sam's Club in years. There's my reason to go, I guess. :lol:

Jolly ranchers came in long, flat stick form when I was but a wee lass.
They cost five cents a bar back then. Green apple was the best.
Here you can get them in a bag, in minibrick form, and also around Halloween, in flat stick form.
I suggest you google the company.
