What Happened To Royal Crown Sour Cherry Candy?

Answer 1

Do you mean Regal Crown Sour Cherries? I remember them from the 60's and early 70's. They came in a roll and were individually wrapped in waxed paper. My family used to travel from Southeast Michigan to Cleveland to visit my grandmother on the Ohio Turnpike, and always stopped at the rest stop half way, where my Dad would buy a roll for each of us. They were to die for, and that is the only place I ever remember seeing them. It made the 3-1/2 hour trip worthwhile! I have tried finding them and an internet search indicates that they are no longer made.

Answer 2

They were made in England. I have not seen them since the late 1960's. Not every store carried them. They were expensive + most parents restricted candy (Wait until Halloween!!). I have always hoped some entreprenuer would buy the rights and recipe (no skimping or subs!) to revive the Brand. Those sour cherries were good. Nothing else came close then or now.
