I don't know who put "yum runts!" but I am removing it. chris 00:54, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Watermelon

It could be me and my friends but we find the watermelon runts to have a distasteful acid flavor. They are always the last one in a bowl and eventually thrown away. (Bart) Anyone else notice the odd taste? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.103.179.204 (talk) 08:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

Are we sure? I'm eating some Runts right now and it still tastes like Lime to me. Mcflytrap 20:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

First off, yes, the lime was regretfully replaced by the dreadful watermelon flavor, and second, the watermelon indeed has a less-than-satisfying acidy flavor. I pick all of them out of my boxes and put them in a baggie to give away to unsuspecting friends. I can't wait to try those new flavors that are replacing Watermelon and blueberry. Both of those were not as good as lime, nor the other original flavors. Too bad Rock'n Runts are currently Canada only. DavimusK 22:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The lime was nasty, maybe even worse then the watermelon (I always threw away both). The blueberry wasn't too bad, but not really great either; I won't miss it. 70.91.159.1 16:49, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

After eating the pineapple and mango flavors, I realized that the Watermelon wasn't so bad. CorrsRule (talk) 17:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)CorrsRule

What are the new flavors? I noticed today that there was a new flavor in the bag I got - it was bright yellow, but not the banana shape. Is it mango or something? ...KD in Charlotte

Pineapple. Mcflytrap 19:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice how mango and pineapple appeared with spanish package-text that was larger and more noticeable than the english? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 03:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

These are sold in the UK?

There are a few places in the UK that sell these, sold at motorway (highway) stop-off points. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.246.56 (talk) 22:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Rock'n Runts

I've never heard of Rock'n Runts before. Does anyone have more information on them or where I can buy some? CorrsRule (talk) 18:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)CorrsRule

Mango?

What a shitty flavor. Bring back lime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.241.157.240 (talk) 20:02, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

you, sir, have won the internet for today 85.92.185.35 (talk) 12:59, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Green Apple

Is nearly the same as the watermelon and lime flavors. Tastes great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.72.87 (talk) 20:13, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Can’t find Runts candy anymore

Looking in all the stores I’ve bought them from before and none of them have it. I hope they are coming with new flavors soon. My favorites are strawberry, Mango, & pineapple. Other good flavors are grape, orange, and blueberry 2600:387:C:6C1A:0:0:0:1 (talk) 05:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

There were issues with production on Runts, which is why you might not be able to find them in the stores. The Runts I can find now are made by Ferrera (seems that the Wonka candies that became Nestle candies were all sold to Ferrara in 2018, and this page never got updated). I've been able to find both bulk and theater size boxes online, and there's greater availability now than there was a couple of months ago. I haven't seen them in stores. The Ferrara version of the candies contains apple, grape, strawberry, orange, and banana. If you love the late 2000s flavor mix, you might be a bit disappointed now. I'm of the lime and cherry generation, and I don't think I ever tried mango or pineapple Runts. 2001:1998:3470:B:0:0:1:173A (talk) 22:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
