About this deal

And it wasn't to remain relegated to the freezer aisle forever: There are now blue raspberry Twizzlers (introduced in 2009, according to a Hershey's spokeswoman), and blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers (first rolled out in 2011), among other candies. When we're eating a blue-raspberry-flavored lollipop or Jolly Rancher or disgusting tube of frozen junk, just enjoy the experience for what it is. Susan Woods, vice president of marketing of The ICEE Company, says its blue ICEE "paved the way for other blue raspberry-flavored beverages. It is just plain sweet and very much an after-dinner flavor, but one that won't knock you over with potentially cloying sweetness.

When and why did Americans decide to take the world's loveliest fruit, the raspberry, and decide that it deserved to be represented by a bright blue that looks better suited to a prop on a bar in a less imaginative episode of Star Trek?

We already know to steer clear of this bad boy, which can be a bit more than what we or anyone else really wants from what's normally a thoroughly sweet treat. The anti-grape faction would insist that this artificial grape flavor tastes all too reminiscent of cough syrup (and it is made with artificial flavor, as are all Jolly Ranchers), and we would agree.

Cracking into a bag of Jolly Ranchers is already always a good time, from untwisting the plastic, peeling the candy out of its wrapping, and finally popping the sugary sweet treat in your mouth. Every bit of the Jolly Ranchers – which are mostly corn syrup, sugar, flavorings and colors – belongs in the final product here. The Jolly Rancher Fruity Bash assortment consists of lemon, mountain berry, strawberry, pineapple, orange flavored hard candies.

Jolly Rancher, an American candy brand, is known for its hard candy, gummies, fruit chews, jelly beans, and lollipops. It's decidedly not reminiscent of medicine, though, of course, we must admit that it does use artificial flavoring like any other Jolly Rancher flavor (and, honestly, when you're indulging in some Jolly Ranchers, you probably aren't looking for the natural stuff, anyway). A vegan version of each of the products tested was not available, and only the Jolly Rancher Gummies were available. There is no pork, pork products (including gelatin and shortening), or alcohol permitted inhalable foods.
