Watermelon and sour apple. And eff anyone who tries to bring up any of the new fangled flavors. Blue Raspberry, GTFOOMF!

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.

Do you remember the first time you accidentally swallowed one whole?

not a fan. rectangle candy that can't be chewed or eaten and gets stuck in your teeth if you attempt. nothing positive there.

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.

Do you remember the time you got pak'd off your ass on 99 apples with jolly ranchers in your mouth and then spewed and apple jolly ranchers still don't taste right.

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?

michigancat · « **Reply #16 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.

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

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.

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.

Lemon & Sour Apple. But really, is there a bad flavor of Jolly rancher?

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:
