The Best Jolly Rancher Flavor (By A Long Shot) - Tasting Table
Briefly

Cherry Jolly Ranchers, though not an original flavor, have earned acclaim among candy lovers for their vibrant taste that balances sweetness and tartness. In a recent taste test ranking various Jolly Rancher flavors, cherry emerged as the top choice, praised for its depth of flavor that evolves as it melts. While watermelon often receives more recognition, cherry captivates with its enjoyable, distinct taste reminiscent of cherry compote or pie filling. Its absence from the original lineup highlights the evolution and enduring popularity of this flavor in the candy community.
While cherry may be our favorite Jolly Rancher flavor, fans may be shocked to learn that it wasn't one of the original flavors—those honors belong to watermelon, apple, and Fire Stix.
We fully understand that these cherry goodies don't necessarily taste like real cherries, but that's why we love them. They strike the perfect balance of not too sweet and not too tart.
