Now & later 35 Count Sweet & Sour Reds Mixed Fruit Chews Exchange Packs, Sour Watermelon/Cherry/Sweet Cherry/Strawberry, 10.5 Ounce

When I received this item they were hard as a brick and the expiration date was 2 weeks prior.

The kids love it.

Not worth the cost! I thought these packs would be much bigger. Literally, 35 2-packs of individually wrapped candies is all you get. The box is the size of a small package of Betty Crocker brand fruit snacks (that usually come in 6-10 packs). I could’ve bought a bag of these or many more Starbursts for the same price. Save your money, and buy something else. I included a small child’s cup in the picture to show the scale of the product.

Not what I was expecting. I usually get Now & Laters in a case of packs that are 6 pieces per pack. This was a box of 2 pieces packs, not packs with 6 pieces per pack. So basically, you're paying more for less by getting this, if you do. I'd rather have bought the case with 6×36 pieces. This only has 2×36 in the box because of Valentine design wrappers.

Delicious!

Seemed like a dream come true! All of my favorite flavors together in one box! And my most favorite of all… Sour cherry! But alas, it wasn’t to be. There were 35 packs in the box with 2 candies each. After ripping through the first 8 to 10 packs, with not a sour cherry in sight, I knew I had been bamboozled. As I opened the remaining packs, a lone tear ran down my cheek and dripped onto my trembling hand. There were no sour Cherry. Not even one, despite the clear photo on the box. Memories of Sour Cherry Now and Laters from better days flashed through my mind, as a blanket of wrappers enveloped my feet. I was broken. The next morning, I did a bit of research and determined that Now and Laters are made by the Ferrara Pan candy company. I took the 14 hour drive to their headquarters just south of Kenosha, Wisconsin to get some answers. Turns out old Gladys was the supervisor overseeing the packaging of that particular mix of flavors. Now she had worked at that factory since it opened, and never taken so much as a single piece of candy. All of her grandchildren would beg her incessantly: “please grandma please, you work at the FACTORY! Can’t you bring us something? But she was an honest and proud woman. Until, that is, her youngest grandson Timmy got struck with typhoid. Things got very bad very quickly. Timmy did not have much longer. His grandmother sat by his side holding his hand, as he asked her to grant his last wish. Sour cherry was his absolute favorite, and he hadn’t been able to savor that taste in months. She knew he could be gone in a matter of days, so towards the end of the daily production run, she quietly diverted the sour cherry chute for a mere few seconds as a small pile of her grandsons favorite flavor fell into her purse. She walked home from work that evening with an extra bounce in her step. She couldn’t wait to give him his treat, and to see the smile that it would elicit. As she approached the house, she knew something was wrong. The cars in the driveway could only mean one thing. Timmy had died that afternoon. Gladys was terminated for stealing and they took her pension. Serves her right, the thieving bitch. I still never got my sour cherry. They discontinued the flavor.

Just perfect for my office candy jar

Because it’s candy and I used it for a party
