We all remember Jolly Ranchers right?
They were the incredibly tasty hard sweet that you’d keep in your uniform pocket, and if divided up evenly with some careful planning, one packet could easily last an entire school day. Well, Pop-Tarts are bringing us right back to the playground, they’ve confirmed that they’re bringing out a limited edition Jolly Rancher flavour tart (pop?) and we just don’t know how to feel about it.
Mashable first reported on Monday that Kelloggs were bringing out the flavours, and Pop-Tarts US tweeted about the decision soon after;
Your sweet tooth called. Jolly Rancher picked up. #JollyRancherPopTarts pic.twitter.com/Ms00xNDtaF

Pop-Tarts have always pushed the boundaries of breakfast snacks, and the Jolly Rancher flavour is a testament to that, of course, the internet had a few opinions… some positive:

I like Jolly Ranchers. I like Pop-Tarts. But you can miss me completely with Jolly Rancher Pop-Tarts. Who asked for this?

No one asked for Jolly Rancher Pop-Tarts. We don’t want them. Before you even start selling them, stop. pic.twitter.com/ZkQVSWOWqu

The jury is still out on this one.
