And all of them are GREEN?!? WTF?!?!

Leave it to Nestle. They take over the Sunmark company and QC goes down the tubes.

Same's true about Hershey buying Jolly Rancher and then closing the original Colorado factory because "it cost too much to run." :(

Umm... When they move the factory and they fuck up the quality, consistancy and flavor of the product.. YES, I give a crap. I loved Jolly Rancher. Now there's flavors you can't even get anymore... but now there's Blue Rasberry. Who cares about Blue Raspberry? Where's Lemon and Orange? That's because they couldn't get the flavors right outside of the original factory. And the old caramel and butterscotch? Forget it.

Yeah. If you don't crunch down on them the outer shell, being the largest in area, has the initial flavor. So purple is grape, orange is orange, etc. When you suck them down, the flavors change, but the flavor is less and less at each level so I usually chew them up after the shell is gone. ;)

Nerds kick ass.

:D Have you had the big box of super Nerds? Where it's like a 1# box of all of the flavors all mixed up? I thought I'd hate having all of the flavors mixed up, but DAMN that was the best 1# of 99% sugar I've ever eaten! :D

Runts rock too! :D

No, but I bet that kicks some fvcking ass. How much was it?

And I agree, runts are also superior to gobstoppers.

The box was $1.29. And I still like Gobstoppers best. Maybe because they last longer. ;)

They might last longer, but...but...they just don't have enough tang or flavor for me.

I noticed the box changed. Haven't had them since though.

Just Born changed Hot Tamales too, but IMHO they didn't screw that up. They made them HOTTER! :D
