Did you know that Jolly Ranchers have been around since 1949? I knew they’d been around for as long as I could remember, but that sure is a long time! When Bill and Dorothy Harmsen originally started the candy company, the name was “Famous for Flavor”, interesting for sure!
As if all of their delicious candy weren’t enough, a whole new candy recently launched, the Jolly Rancher Crunch ‘N Chew Candy!
“With new JOLLY RANCHER CRUNCH ‘N CHEW Candy, you can HAVE YOUR CRUNCH AND CHEW IT TOO! It has a chewy inside, with a crunchy candy shell ? available in cherry, green apple, watermelon and blue raspberry flavors.”
Of course, I recently had the chance to try these which was quite the experience! Last week, the delivery driver dropped off a pretty large box. I opened it up and this is what I found!
It was like opening a present on my birthday, I was so excited to see what was inside! So I opened all the flaps, looked a little further and voila, delicious candy was awaiting inside!
3 bags of delicious candy, in fact; a baby bag, mama bag and daddy bag! I opened the bags, set some out in the candy dish, had another on my desk, then dug into a Watermelon Jolly Rancher Crunch ‘N Chew. I was quite impressed! It had to hard candy that I was used to and loved, but inside was soft and chewy goodness just waiting for me!
Once everyone else saw these candies lying around, I would see more and more disappear every time I looked. Pretty soon, they were all gone and I think I had a total of 3, possibly 4. Apparently everyone else really liked them too!
To celebrate the candy launch, Jolly Rancher partnered with Poptent ? an online videographer community, to create three original video spots highlighting the crunchy-chewy essence of the new candy.
Additional details on these videos are below:
- Do You Wanna Crunch ? A group of teens create a funky, catchy Crunch ?N Chew rap highlighting the product’s crunchy and chewy characteristics
- Brand New ? Young artists are inspired to create a fresh new track that starts on the basketball court and finishes as a colorful music video
- The Adventures of Bart the Bold ? ?Bart the Bold? goes on a bold adventure, defeating villains and eating Crunch ‘N Chew candy along the way
Between now and February 15 you can visit JollyRancher.com to vote for your favorite video! I totally voted for Bart the Bold, so silly I loved it! But, they were all pretty good, so it was a pretty tough decision! I definitely recommend checking them out for yourself. They might just make you smile 😉
