 Jolly Rancher Chewmongus – Cherry
I bought mostly because of the ridiculous name, and the fact that it was fifteen cents. Chewmongus proved to be a smaller, thinner clone of Tangy Taffy. Being a fruity taffy, it still bordered on overpowering sweeteness, but the smaller portion kept this in check. The taste reminded me of Jell-O Gelatin Pops; I'm not even sure they make those anymore. Actually, I'm not sure they even make Chewmongus anymore … I can't find it anywhere, and its superfluous website has been deep-sixed. Wait … just how old was this candy I just ate? Shit, I hope this won't end up like the time I ate that archaic Russian licorice that I found in a crate while exploring the sunken hull of a massive WWII submarine. I was sick for nearly six years after eating that. Review by Mario Speedwagon |
