We’ve all been there before. You’ve got a sweet tooth, but you aren’t quite sure what for. Do you want candy? Do you want gum? How to choose? Is that a choice you’re prepared to make? And do you really even have to make it? For almost 50 years, when sugar cravings strike, candy connoisseurs have been choosing not to choose withRazzles.
Razzed About Razzles
Originally marketed with the slogan, “First it’s a candy, then it’s a gum. Little round Razzles are so much fun,” Razzles has been delighting audiences with their two-timing qualities since 1966. Back then, they were made by a company called Fleer and only came in one flavor, raspberry. The fact that they could become a success with just a single flavor is clear proof of just how amazing Razzles really are! How many candies can you think of today that have made it big on a single flavor?
A Raz-tastic Name
The name Razzles has quite a ring to it, don’t you think? But do you know where it came from? As it turns out, the name was derived from the world of berries. Only, instead of being named after a real berry, they were named after a fictional “razzleberry.” I don’t know about you, but that berry sounds like it would be the best berry on the block. That’s one berry that I would never turn down!
A Razzling Idea
The candy-to-gum idea is really clever when you think about it. By starting off as hard candy and morphing into chewing gum, Razzles manage to capture a whole spectrum of taste sensations. And they don’t just come in raspberry anymore! These days, lucky sweet tooths can be charmed by a variety of Razzles multi-packs. Flavors include Blaze’n Blueberry, Gushin’ Grape, Luscious Lemon, Razzle Raspberry, and Tangerine Orange, plus sour and tropical flavors. So these days, you sure to find a Razzle that fits your mood.
What made me think about getting the spice gum drops was thinking about my Dad
I’m 70 - so a old great memory. Dad worked construction and drove to jobs out of town allot. I remember he made his own version of “ road snack” back in the 1960’s… he would take a large can with a lid and mix spice gum drops and peanuts in it … I remember the taste and aroma from when I was a kid. So I ordered them. And it’s great!
Arrived in 3 days as promised !
We love reviews such as yours! Half the fun of selling candy and being the oldest wholesale candy company is the many great reviews we receive about the memories that candy brings! While candy, especially spice drops, are great to eat, we cherish the memories they bring even more so! We are grateful to have you as a customer and for sharing your memories of your father! Editor's note - my father kept Necco Wafers in the door of his car. He has been gone for many years, and I am close to 60, but I keep them in my car too!
