EAT THESE IMMEDIATELY: Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews

Holy hell are we are obsessed with Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews. They come in what looks like a fat cigarette pack (one point), feature great fake fruit flavors like blue (two points) and are infinitely mix-and-matchable (six bajillion points). This might be sacrilege to admit, but we prefer their chewy, juicy texture to overly sticky Starburst. Best thing about these, though? They feature all the gnawing appeal of an adult chewable supplement with none of the pesky vitamins or minerals. Eat these immediately!

I won't believe you if you tell me they're better than Hi Chew (or, as I like to call them, Japanese Bonkers).  Are they?

Good question, Upma. I would say between the two that I prefer Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews, if only because I think they take more like fake candy fruit than real healthy fruit. I applied the same logic as a kid, when I enjoyed Hi-C Ecto Cooler juiceboxes better than 100 percent fruit Juicy Juice..it's that fructose!

Alright.  If I see any, I'll give it a go.
