looking for 1 or 2 jolly rancher assorted hard candys from genuin mre.

What year did jolly rancher start putting hard candies or any candies into MRE's?

Was curious on this one as well. Jolly Rancher assorted bags are easy to come by, just order pine from Wal-Mart or Amazon

It's hard to say but I do know that were included in a 1998 Chicken with Salsa MRE. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7834

I think they might be older - I did just find a pack of Starburst from a 1991 MRE. It still says "New" on the front pack.

Will keep my eye out for Jolly Ranchers in MREs now.

Oh sentient I didn't realize that you posted that review - what a gem!

its just the genuin used mre cany im looking for,and apparently im also looking for the Starburst candy to

Hey norge, do you have the same address? Pm me to confirm it. I'm going to the post office for a few other packages tomorrow & can send you these Starburst. I warn you they are soft so most likely good just for display. thankfully they are not leaking.

According to the MRE Menus section on this site, the years 1997-1999 contained the Jolly Ranchers. And if you're in the market for current production 12 pack sticks, they still sell them on Amazon.

I see pretty shirt run explains why you almost never see it.

Yeah 2 years is short enough of a run to make MRE Jolly Ranchers a straight up candy collectable. Most are probably in a liquefied state too so any that are intact are a real find. And something that would probably require some sorta epoxy dipping for long term preservation.
