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

I love the red dollars. I am disappointed I can't get the snaps anymore.
We, too, are sad that Snaps are no longer available! Rest assured, we will certainly let you know when and if they become available!
Everything Wonderful...Fresh always, Deliver Quick. The only think was the order was large & in one bag would have liked in two bags. Recommend to everyone...Thank you Always

Everything was good
Everything was good. The delivery was fast and I especially liked that it was packed with ice packages and quilted aluminum blanket. The bars were fresh and delicious.

Jelly fruit slices, the best!
These jelly fruit slices are some of the freshest candy I've had. They are similar to Chuckles only much softer and dusted with just the right amount of sugar. They're perfect!

Arrived as Advertised
The cigarettes arrived mostly intact and taste exactly how I remembered them. I refused to buy them on Amazon because of the mixed reviews from 3rd party sellers. However, this seller delivered as advertised (and with no red mold!)

Mild and buttery
Great mild mint taste. Melts in your mouth. Nice size too.
