Been hankering for some of them. Pure sugar bombs but craving that acid bite and intense artifical orange flavor - besides, I need my minimum daily requirement of Yellow #6.
Was at Tractor Supply last week, saw their candy display and lo and behold. Picked up a bag and they were horrible - nothing like what I remembered them being. Checked my local grocery store and they did not carry them. Was at another grocery store and they had some house brand - got a bag and they were overly sweet (if that is even possible) with a really bad bitter aftertaste.
I remembered that the brand I liked was Brach's - they have a website but do not list the orange slices (they have Manderin Orange slices but not the original). Checked on Amazon and they carried Brach's Orange Slices but were charging $21.21 for a 22oz. container. 1.38 pounds. This is in line with the little bags I was looking for - couple ounces for a couple of bucks but jeezzzzz... $21 plus sales tax to satisfy a minor jones? Nope.
What is up?
