What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this hard candy for its intense, juicy, long-lasting fruity flavors that evoke strong nostalgia and childhood memories. The original lineup—cherry, watermelon, green apple, grape, and blue raspberry—is celebrated for authenticity and boldness, with reviewers noting distinct, true-to-fruit taste experiences. Blue raspberry, watermelon, and cherry emerge as favorites. Most consider it the best hard candy available, with consistent enjoyment across generations. A small group reports frustration with uneven flavor distribution in bags, occasionally receiving bags dominated by one flavor with few alternatives, though these concerns remain minor within an otherwise highly satisfying product experience.

50oz bag - unequal distribution of flavors
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 unhap...

Disappointed
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.

Sweet and slightly sour!
These jolly ranchers are the best. They taste so sweet and all the flavors are so different. I love hard candies that can seal in your mouth. Perfect for a sweet tooth.

Addictive sweet treat
I love all the flavors but especially the Blue Raspberry. I buy the 27 ounce bag every week and am always disappointed by the lack of blue raspberry. I keep hoping that I’ll get a bag with a lot of them in it, like the green apple (my least favorite).

Getting rid if the GOOD FLAVORS
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.

Where’s the watermelon?
I bought a bag to have something for work. When I opened the bag, there was 0, yes zero, watermelon. 6 green apple and the rest mixed. What happened to variety in a bag?
From hersheyland.com
We are very sorry to hear about the missing watermelon flavor in your bag. Please be on the lookout from us with additional information.
Bring Cinnamon back!
It's a great flavor and could buy all by itself without getting other flavors. I only like cherry, green apple and cinnamon. Watermelon and blue raspberry are terrible 😩.

Original Flavors
I grew up in Golden Colorado, blocks from the Jolly Rancher factory. Just an FYI, blue raspberry was not an original flavor. You should bring back lemon as an original and stop selling the blue yucky ones.
