We have been drinking it safely for a hundred years...

Remember the Jolly Rancher apple...may have been the only flavor, at the time...bars that would turn into the most wicked point and blade as you sucked on them? Those were dangerous.

Somehow I never would have put “beloved” together with Jolly Rancher.
To: noiseman
The objection is to their regular ingredients, not contaminating manufacturing.
To: Libloather
My apologies. Just read deeper into the article.
Yuck!

My Mother, me, a tablespoon.

I’m pretty sure “quintillion” is an exaggeration. We’re only down to “parts per trillion”. I think ... Six more orders of magnitude to go. Unless I’ve missed something.

“ Remember the Jolly Rancher apple”
During elementary school the jolly rancher bars were an everyday staple. At afternoon recess we hit the candy bar and those were a favorite. If you paid an extra .25 per week for lunch, you got your pick at the candy bar every afternoon.

I liked some of the flavors. Grape, watermelon, lemon. Never liked green apple.

“… who doesn’t like a jolly rancher. …”.
Me. I never cared for the things. Blech.

Thank goodness we have Robert Kennedy Jr. defending the basic right of every American to eat the candy they enjoy.

I used to fork at Jolly Rancher back in 1999, Not a bad gig, but horrible scheduling.
I wouldn’t know when I would go back to work until 5PM the day I was AT work.
Don’t think I lasted a month. Quit there to drive a forklift warehousing beer bottles for a contractor for Coors. Hired on at Coors November 2000. This is my 25th year there.
