    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. :love:

    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 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

    I grew up on lemon drops and I still love them. No, the kids don't get any hard candy from me.

    My favorite

    The best part of the lemon drop is the sugar on the outside.

    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 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.

    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!
