Everyone always tells new teachers to make sure they have hard candy for "sore throats," what I wonder is...what is the best hard candy...oooh...toughie... I personally am in love with the Jolly Ranchers Passion bag - peach and fruit punch...gotta love it. I also like the sugar free Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip candies...also delicious!
I LOVE Jolly Ranchers and I keep them stocked in my classroom, not only for me, but for my kids, too. I haven't had the Passion bag in awhile, I thought they had stopped selling them because I hadn't seen any in a long time. I used to be addicted to the fruit punch ones, they are SOOOOO good!
I keep a bag of pepermint and spearmint mints for when the kids have sore throats. Keeps them from complaining for a while. Personally, I love Jolly Ranchers as well.
Jolly Ranchers-apple and cinnamon. I use Fruit Breezers during the year to keep my throat going so I don't lose my voice.
I like the baskin robin's sugar free and they make sugar free jolly ranchers. But all time favorite....... tropical life savers.
I only keep peppermint & spearmint. When I kept a variety, I always got complaints because so-and-so got the last such-and-such. Also, the don't liek the peppemint & spearmint enough to beg for them. LOL
Everytime I see this thread I want some candy . I like butter rum lifesavers and anything butterscotch.
Red Hots Lemon Drops Cinnamon Disks Jolly Ranchers - Watermelon & Green Apple And the list goes on... I love candy!
Lemon drops are great especially when you have *sorry* phlegm in your throat. BUT, they hurt the roof of my mouth.
I keep sanded horehound candy during allergy season. It's great for tickly coughs. The kids (middle school) are kinda giggly when I tell them what it's called . . . they giggle about anything they think is remotely s*xual in nature. My grandpa swore by the stuff.
I finally found a store around here that sells the Jolly Rancher passion bag! I'm eating a fruit punch one right now!
I usually keep cinnamon candy at my desk. (Jolly Ranchers is my favorite, but the cinnamon disks will do in a pinch.) I also keep a few strawberry cream savers in the drawer (not with the cinnamon) for "emergencies"!
baskin robbins makes candy? I thought they made ice cream? where do I get horehound candy? I love green apple jolly ranchers and butterscotch candies.. I like werther's, but I like their chewy ones better than their hard ones.. when I was a kid my mother (taught 25 years) always had peanut m&ms and cinnamon bears around.
JollyRanchers mmmm.... the watermelon kind Although it's not hard candy, I love the Twizlers Pull-n-Peel any flavor
Baskin Robbins does make Ice Cream, but they also make hard candy that is sold just about anywhere that has a candy aisle. They are great!
jennabar - I'm an anything but cherry as well - but I also can't handle banana, green apple or watermelon...
