Post by: jtksu on May 02, 2011, 02:24:07 PM: Watermelon and sour apple. And eff anyone who tries to bring up any of the new fangled flavors. Blue Raspberry, GTFOOMF!
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: CNS on May 02, 2011, 02:27:00 PM: I first had one in like 3rd grade(or so). Watermelon.

Felt like a fool, or like I had been cheated, for not knowing about that fantastic watermelon before then.

Still my fav 'rancher, but I only get them at Halloween when the kids go trick or treating.

Post by: CNS on May 02, 2011, 03:36:07 PM: Need to establish the goEMAW 'rancher exchange board.

When I see 'ranchers, I always wonder why they make all the flavors they do, since half of them suck. After reading this thread, I understand.

EMAW'ers need a convenient place to drop off the flav's they think suck and pick up awesome flav's in exchange. Waste not/want not, etc.

Post by: Brock Landers on May 02, 2011, 03:56:58 PM: Remember that time in High School/College/legal drinking age when your girlfriend and all her friends liked to drop Jolly Ranchers into their Zimas? And you took a sip of it.....and secretly liked it?
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: michigancat on May 02, 2011, 04:18:39 PM: grandma had an unlimited supply of fire jolly ranchers as long as I can remember, so I don't remember the exact discovery. I still remember when they went from square corners to a more round shape.

Wouldn't they melt?! :ohno:

Did you ever try and eat one that did melt? You wouldn't be able to get the whole wrapper off and after trying really hard you just said, "eff it" and popped it in your mouth anyhow. I'd still be :lick: (ftp://:lick:).

Post by: Dirty Sanchez on May 02, 2011, 05:20:26 PM: One of the truck drivers where my dad worked would bring him a couple every week. Always fire. Dad would bring them home to Jeffy and I. Still love fire to this day. The rest are meh.
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: jtksu on May 02, 2011, 05:30:56 PM: I was hanging out with this chick (back in highschool) who had way too much to drink and puked for like 30 mins. She started freaking out because of the insane amount of blood in her vomit. I told it wasn't blood, it was grenadine from all the zimas she drank. We all had a good laugh after that.

Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: yoga-like_abana on May 05, 2011, 08:38:46 AM: thoughts on the suckers? I love them anyone who says otherwise is a sucker.

pink lemonade is probably the worst flavor but blue raspberry is very close :eck:
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: Gooch on May 05, 2011, 10:36:08 AM: My fav is cherry followed closely by watermelon. Peach sucks.

no watermelon candy or drink has ever tasted like watermelon before. whole generations of kids have been raised to think that they like watermelon but when they encounter an actual watermelon in the wild they will freak the eff out.

Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: HeinBallz on May 05, 2011, 03:35:09 PM: Another faux flavor that really pisses me off.... Banana. I'm pretty sure that Jolly Rancher doesn't make banana flavor but everyone else that has ever attempted makes a really rough ridin' nasty flavor. Example: Runts. .... Banana flavored runts. rough ridin' gross
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: pissclams on May 05, 2011, 03:37:47 PM: love banana flavored runts. also love banana flavorted bb bats.
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: jtksu on May 05, 2011, 03:41:50 PM: I dig pretty much all runts but yeah, they don't taste a damn thing like a banana.

Hate grape and hated lemon.and strawberry
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: CNS on May 05, 2011, 03:59:29 PM: Real watermelon is quite possibly the most delicious thing than can be grown by a plant.
Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: kitten_mittons on May 05, 2011, 04:21:26 PM: The peach JR's don't taste anything like Peaches, the watermelon ones also don't taste like watermelon.

Also agree with JT on the fact that no banana flavored candy tastes anything remotely close to a banana.

Can someone also please explain to me why candy corn does not look/taste anything like corn? TIA.

Title: Re: Do you remember when you discovered jolly ranchers?
Post by: jtksu on May 05, 2011, 06:30:12 PM: Real watermelons are pretty fantastic but I feel they pale in comparison to a perfectly ripened cantalope. :lick:
