Top 10 Fruit Candy

Honorable Mention. JOLLY RANCHERS


Many a school teacher would hand these out as a reward for a correct answer. Many flavors and varieties. Some of the best being Fruit Punch, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine.





10. BLOW POPS

If you've never swallowed the gum inside a blowpop you aren't a hardcore fan of this candy. One of the best things about blowpops is that every flavor is amazing.


9. AIRHEADS

An upgrade on the old school Laffy Taffy. Best flavors include Orange, Mystery, Cherry, and "Blue".
8. RED MINI SWEDISH FISH

The other flavors aren't worth jack. Red Swedish Fish are the only way to go. Do NOT buy the jumbo fish. They do not compare.




7. MINI SOUR WATERMELON

More addictive than crack. As with the Swedish Fish do not buy the large size. Only this low on the list because of lack of variety.






6. SOUR PATCH KIDS
The perfect blend of sweet and sour. Best flavors are obviously Red and Orange.




5. ORIGINAL SKITTLES

Taste the rainbow Mofo. Shocking to see them at only #5. You don't love them if you haven't lacerated the roof of your mouth eating too many. If you truly love Original Skittles try dumping a bunch into a bottle of Sprite or Sierra Mist. Watch what happens then drink/eat.






4. TROPICAL SKITTLES


Yes, I think they are better than the originals. Standouts include Mango Tangelo and Pineapple Passionfruit.


3. JELLY BELLY SOURS


One of the best candies in the world. The only thing holding them back from a top ranking are the two green flavors - Sour Watermelon and Sour Apple.




2. CALIFORNIA FRUIT STARBURST


The best tasting candy there is. Not to be confused with Calfornia Baja Starbursts (which replaced them). California Fruit Starbursts were perfection. Flavors included: red cherry, strawberry-watermelon, raspberry and plum-passion.









1. ORIGINAL STARBURST


The king of all fruit candy. Perhaps not as overall perfect as California Fruit (because of lemon) but impossible not to put at #1.
