Cinnamon Fire Jolly Ranchers - my last one!
I have loved this candy since I was a little girl in the 60s. I used to buy the fire stix and sneak one into my parents shopping cart every chance I got. I would save my allowance and buy them at the 7-11. All my friends loved them too. When I was studying, I always popped one in my mouth to help me concentrate. If my stomach was upset, one of these treats helped to settle it down. When I had a sore throat or cough, the cinnamon flavor seemed to ease them both. This was my go to candy through college. I was in the Navy Reserves during Operation Desert Shield/Storm and was called up in Aug 1990. This was my first real experience on active duty and I didn't know what to take with me or what to expect. We were told to pack light. I packed mostly my military uniforms and military items. The rest of my sea bag was stuffed with bags of Cinnamon Fire Jolly Ranchers. I was glad I did, because they were nonexistent in the field/desert. When I ended up extended for a year and everyone asked what I wanted them to send to me, CFJR were the only thing I wanted. Thanks to my friends, family, and faith in God, I made it through with plenty of CFJRs to share with my shipmates. I have continued with my addiction for 55 years or more. I carry them in my purse, my car, my pockets at work, anywhere I can keep a stash of these tasty treats. I would buy up to 10 bags at a time and handed them out to friends and family. Everyone knew that I had CFJRs and would come to me for a treat. I even found these great waterproof camping containers that were small enough to keep in my purse. I could store these delicious cinnamon tongue pleasers for a long time without having them melt to the wrapper and become mushy. I would stuff as many candies as I could into these containers and kept them fresh and perfect. When the CFJRs became harder to find, I went to the internet to search for them and read that someone made a poor decision to have them discontinued!! I don't believe everything I read on the internet and really didn't believe that this could possibly be true!! So, I wrote to Hershey and receive the disappointing news that it was, in fact, true. I am sure to Hershey this was not such a big deal and they certainly didn't realize how devastating their decision was to so many. I begged for them to reconcider. But my pleading was to no avail. I even asked them for the recipe. If they were no longer going to use it, why couldn't I use it. Their reply was “trade secrets” or something to that effect. I am now joining the ranks of millions who are voicing their disappointment out loud on the internet. I am truly missing the Cinnamon Fire Jolly Ranchers and had rationed my last container to extend the last of the flavor as long as possible. Now there are no more… Please reconcider and begin making them once more!!

    Jolly Rancher Cinnamon Fire
    After realizing that Jolly Rancher had discontinued the Cinnamon Fire flavored hard candy I immediately paid a visit to the website. Disappointing to see that so many have requested that the candy be made again. But what's most disappointing is the fact that this particular candy isn't already back on the shelves. So many have reached out to the company and so far have been ignored!

    Cinnamon Fire Jolly Ranchers
    Watching TV right now wondering where I would have stashed a Fire Jolly Rancher. Is there one in an unused purse or a backpack? Maybe in my car door or glove box? If I knew you were discontinuing these I would have stocked up. : ( Please bring them back……

    Bring these back, Please
    It has been very hard to find these in my area for a long time since they are always sold out. Now you have made the choice to discontinue the best flavor of jolly ranchers. Please re evaluate your decision and put these out again. I am lucky to have one bag left but very sad and upset about the thought of not having these available anymore.

    WHY!?!
    I just read another "review" below saying the Jolly Rancher Cinnamon Fire candy was a multi-generational candy in their family. The same goes for me. I will soon be 75 and my mother kept a big jar of these full, ALL of the time. I now have that jar and have been keeping it full as well. To add "insult to injury", it appears you are keeping Green Apple and the other "lesser" (in my opinion) flavors! It is VERY disappointing!

    Cinnamon Fire Heartbreak
    My 75 year old father (in ND) called me (in MT) a few days ago to ask me to look for cinnamon fire Jolly Ranchers for him, wondering if I could bring some to him when I visit during the holidays. He's been eating them for ages. He has them in his car, in his kitchen, by his recliner, and he shares a bag when he gets together with friends for Trivia Night. He hasn't been able to find them in any of his local stores. Sadly, after checking your site, it sounds like they have been discontinued. That is shocking. Cinnamon Fire is such an iconic Jolly Rancher flavor. When I think of Jolly Ranchers I think of "Fire Stix". I truly hope you reconsider discontinuing such a well-loved product.

    Without these my wife's Christmas is ruined!
    Last year I ordered a large bag of the cinnamon fire Jolly Ranchers because they were getting harder and harder to find. Being self employed these candies are the reward or the solace for how her day has gone. Add my voice to the hundreds of others that are saying you're making a big mistake discontinuing this product! Please tell me this isn't the end?

    BRING THESE BACK!!
    These are the absolute best. I cannot believe they have been discontinued. I really hope their cult following changes Jolly Rancher's mind, and they bring them back eventually. I'm going through withdrawal. lol

    Best cinnamon flavored candy!!!!
    Please reconsider discontinuing this flavor of Jolly Ranchers. I have purchased and ate some many of these over the years. I will admit I enjoyed getting to re-experience some of the old jolly rancher flavors that have returned in various new bags but none of them compare to these. I have ADHD and this specific flavor seems to help me focus the most. Please don't let this be my last handful. :(

    Discontinued???!!!! Really.....
    Seriously...fire jolly ranchers are the best. It's the candy that helps me through long work days and conference calls. Nothing else helps...I immediately bite peppermint, etc. Please reconsider. From the reviews it looks like this product following was large.

    the ONLY jolly rancher
    what other candy comes close to comparing? rhetorical, of course, as the answer is none! I was even lucky/unlucky enough to have the cinnamon fire cherry soda for the short time it was available. on the shelves long enough to get you hooked, then gone. and now they intend to take away their best candy product?!?

    Please Bring back the cinnamon fire jolly ranchers
    I have been looking for these in stores for about a week already and finding out that it has been discontinued saddens me. There are no other candies that help me quit smoking like these do. They are so delicious and I have been buying them for many years they are the only jolly ranchers I love I do not like any other flavors but these I love them. Please reconsider discontinuing them no other cinnamon candy is equal or better than these

    I drove 50 miles….
    This is my absolute favorite candy. I keep one on me all the time. I can't find them at any store around me so I drove 50 miles to the only store that had them. I bought every single bag that they had. Please don't discontinue them. Please.

    Best candies ever!
    These are the best hard candies just to enjoy and to bake with. Cinnamon apples and melting in sweet potatoes and apple sauce. They are very hard to find.

    Good but sticks to your teeth easily
    Good cinnamon flavor with enough heat, but candy is sticky, i.e. sticks to my teeth, so I have to be mindful not to try to bite into them. Be careful, seems like they could pull out older fillings or dental work.

    I can't stop eating these!!!
    I love any Cinnamon candy but these are the best. I will literally sit and eat these back to back! I finished an entire bag over one weekend and went back for the bigger bag!
