ASIN B001ASEWQE - 1.25 pound tub, $5.85 + $7.49 shipping ($13.34)
All of these product listings are for the same product, although there are some minor differences, most price, quantity and seller. This review, which covers all six listings, is 5 stars for the product - some of the listings deserve less and I'll tell you why. B000F8GWR2 is for twelve 7 ounce packages (5.25 lbs), B001ASEWQE is for a 1.2 pound tub, B0017D3TJS is a 17 ounce plastic, lidded bowl; the others are 5 pound bags.
B001ASEWQE and B0017D3TJS have only one thing going for it: it comes in a tub. But you have bowls, right? So, the tub's not exciting and the price there is too high when you factor in shipping. When shipping is charged by weight, it matters that the listing for B000NMG2LQ claims its shipping weight as 7 pounds, while the rest of the 5 pound packages say 6 - unless the box weighs over a pound, 6 is correct and the renegade 7 pounder is just dipping into your pocket. Still it's B000HROH2I that is really ripping you off, with $17.93 in shipping charges. The best deal turns out to be straight from Amazon, with B000F8GWR2 showing me $8.53 in shipping - and the potential for free shipping. Of the 6, only the one from Amazon makes any sense to buy as a consumer; the others might make sense to a wholesaler, although I can't see how - the best price is the best price! And, of course, look into the prices yourself because they're subject to change and by the time you read this, they might be completely different.
Jolly Rancher candies, particularly the original hard candy flavors, are great. The flavors are strong enough so that each flavor is distinct, unlike so many other candies. Watermelon tastes like watermelon, cherry like cherry - these things are literally mouth-watering, in the best way. Individual wrapping keeps them clean when little hands dig for their personal favorite. Personally, I've been stocking up on them as part of my plan to quit smoking; it'll certainly make quitting a delicious experience, especially as my taste buds recover.
