Red Dollars were introduced in 1926 as oval pieces of gum emblazoned with a dollar sign, but back then the name had nothing to do with the flavor. With about 75 pieces per pound, perhaps Red Dollars are not a hedge against inflation but they sure are an investment against going hungry especially when you desire their delicious cherry flavor and fun to eat chewy texture.
Here's a fun fact -- Red Dollar derives from a slang expression that means something new, popular, or innovative, and it wasn’t until the 1940’s that the name was changed to Red Dollars to reflect the candy that everybody loves.
Delicious to eat and a good value too is why Red Dollars are one of the most sought after gummi candies that we offer not to mention amongst the hardest to find. I guess we can chalk that up to "supply and demand."
Net Weight 4 lb.
Approximately 75 pieces per pound
1" in diameter
Please note that as of 2019, these candies are now made by a new manufacturer and have a "new and improved" cherry flavor

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review for our Spice Gum Drops. We are so happy to hear that you enjoy them just as much as you always have. As the ol' saying goes, 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' and that surely applies to the candies we sell. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to continue providing you with great candy in the future.
The candy was not fresh. They charged almost $12 for shipping.
We are sorry that you were not happy with the shipping cost despite it being visible and required to choose during the checkout process. As to the candy being ' not fresh,' that would be almost impossible as the mix is packed to order and the csndy was just recieevd from the manufacturer. It might be harder than you recall - all the more so as the country has been experiencing very cold weather - but it is certainly NOT 'not fresh.' Shippping is costly as we are dealing with persishables but we do our very best to provide transparent options allowing the ccusotmer to choose what best fits their needs and budget.
