Where Are All The Lemon Jolly Ranchers? - Tasting Table

Few hard candy brands are more universally beloved than Jolly Rancher. You may have a soft spot for Werther's Originals because of your grandparents, but Jolly Rancher broke the mold on flavor variety and intensity. That's why many '90s kids foster especially strong nostalgia for them. The good news is that Jolly Ranchers are still around today, but the bad news is that one of the best Jolly Rancher flavors (which is also among the most popular) isn't quite so readily available. That flavor? Lemon.
