Jolly Ranchers are now considered “unsafe to eat” in the UK (though they’re still quite popular there). So why are they still permitted in the US by the FDA? It comes down to a loophole in FDA rules.

Single payer systems don’t tolerate one part of the government poisoning another part that treats illness. Now, in countries where people have no insurance & hate each other, that’s a different story…

It sounds like they are permitted in the UK too just considered unsafe to eat.

...which makes us wonder what they ARE being used for in the UK. Filling pot holes in the roads?

I have never seen a Jolly Rancher in the UK unless in a shop specifically selling US foodstuffs.

Kids have been soft since they banned the pop rocks that could break your teeth. Pop rock kids never chocked on Jolly Ranchers, we could handle aggressive candy

I don’t think our FDA is even functioning anymore. I’m pretty sure the Tech Billionaires went after them pretty early on in their coup.

I ate so many of these as a kid so it is awesome to find out now they have a crude oil ingredient in them.

But if you put them in a Zima, the alcohol kills all the bad stuff, right?
