SO WHERE DO WE BUY THE GIANT NOT CHEWY SWEET TARTS. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING LL OVER FOR THEM!?!?! SOMEBODY HEEEELP!!!!!

I would like to find them too. The only ones I can find are either chewy or not as large. I remember that they came out with giant heart-shaped ones around Valentine's Day and egg-shaped ones at Easter time. Loved them!

I have been searching for these for quite some time. Everything I find on the web indicates they are discontinued. Even the retor candy companies don't have them.

Of course I meant retro...C'mon Wonka...bring 'em back!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - somebody come out with the Giant Sweetarts again. Chewy ones are just not the same!!!!

I am kinda like the person at the top of the list. I used to stop by our neighborhood drug store on the way home from school most every day. I lived in town and walked home from school. There is nothing like the big sweet tarts. They are no where to be found today. That is sad. I wish they would start selling them again. I would stock up.

Everyone who visits this site and feels the same about this should contact nestle or wonka and request that they start making them again. Maybe it'll work. Hell, it worked for Family Guy.

I have such fond memories similar to those already mentioned. I lived blocks away from a Modern Dairy store. I would walk or ride my bike there to get these giant sweet tarts. The grape ones were my favorite. I have looked all over for them, but have been unable to find them. Please someone....start making them again! I, too, would stock up!

Nothing.. absolutely nothing could compare to the taste of a cherry giant Sweetart eaten on a hot summer's day on the walk home from out local Dairy Mart. I remember the tang on my tongue and sweet flavor.... yummy memories. C'mon Nestle &/or Wonka BRING THEM BACK!!

Yes, I ate these all of the time in the early 70's. Explains the Diabetes I have today!!

I used to munch on one of these slowly when I was a kid and would have it for more weeks happily and slowly munching. Can't find 'em either!

I loved giant sweet tarts. when i was a teenager they had them @ sugar mountain. Blue is my all-time favorite. I can't find them anywhere! so sad. p.s. who came up with chewy sweettarts? So lame!

YES!!!!please PLEASE bring the giant sweetart back my kids have heard so much about them...and I too have lots of memories of walking home from school licking on a sweetart BRING THEM BACKx87

I too loved the 3 pack (pink, purple and yellow) giant sweetarts! I agree that whomever came up with the chewy ones was either lame or had no teeth!!!! Wonka- bring them back for the sake of the 70's generation!!!!!! I promise I will stock up 50 cases!!!!! Luv 'em!!!

I'm so sad that you can't find these anymore. I've looked everywhere and I guess I have to face the fact that this is one retro candy you can't get. I loved the cherry ones!!

I also have fond memories of those sweet tarts!!! I want them back as well! Also...I remember series 1 and 2 of Wacky Packages. Those were the good old days!

i used to get them every weekend at the skating rink. my husband and i searched all over town looking for them. so sad

All I can think about is how we all pretty much agree on the fact that either the roof of your mouth or tongue would be raw after eating these. (Although I wouldn't have ever complained) But sadly I bet if we bit into one probably half of us would be calling the dentist or handing the rest of it to the kiddos....so someone pass me a Geritol cuz this is bringing back way too many memories and I can't believe I am this old :)

i would love to see the giant sweet tarts back,they cam three to a pack purple yellow pink,great at the movies they would last the whole movie,please let me know where and if any of you found them thanks

bring back the giant sweet tarts (not chewy - taste is not the same at all) i liked the grape, cherry, and pineapple: amazing. i'd stock up as well.

They looked like the soap tablets used at home ( sos tabs ). We bought one along with a slurpee, the best walk home ever. We were lucky to have keeped our teeth when biting into the large sweet tarts. Sweet tarts were teeth breakers, and sugar daddies yanked out your fillings.

I remember elementary school on Valentine's Day, they handed one out to every kid. Good memories! Wish they would bring them back.

These are the best! In the 1960's Mom would give me $0.50 and money to buy a carton of Pall Mall cigarettes. I rode my bike about 1.5 miles to the Lone Star IceHouse Drive-In Grocery Store. I would buy five Giant Sweetarts. I bought the carton of cigarettes without an ID and with no questions asked by the clerk. But when I would buy Playboy magazine at age 12 the clerks would smile with me.

Original Giant Sweet tarts came one to a pack. I think they were 5 cents around 1966?. Later they were replaced with a version with two to a pack containing different flavors. The package size was the same, the earlier ones were just twice as thick. I remember licking the think ones until my tongue bled. Would have to wait a day until it healed up enough to resume the candy which would quickly tear up my tongue again. Kinda remember tasting blood with the last third of so of the candy. Wish they would bring them back :) I have to admit I still have a thing for Sweetarts 45 years later. Best time of the year is Valentines day and Easter when they sell the 1/2 pound bags of either hearts, eggs, or ducks/bunnies/chicks for a $1 or two. That time of year I usually look and buy a bag when I find them at the supermarket or pharmacy. The candy is usually gone in a couple of days. I have to admit sometime I don't feel too good after I eat all the candy, but by the next day I am looking for more ..... :)

I too have been looking for giant sweet tarts the original hard ones, for years.theybhad a sort of H line stamped in them and I'd break them into the three pieces, like two half moons and a middle rectangle then I'd break them more and put them in a suffers box so I could get away with eat.ing them in school pretending I was munching cough drops. Does anyone remember the giant bazooka bubble gum that was a huge rectangle you could break in two pieces and it was really thick?

I thought I was the only one who remembered the original Giant SweetTarts!! And yes, they made my tongue bleed too. :-) Someone told me the other day that they saw them in a candy store in Seaside, Oregon. Wonder if they're really the original?

I remember my tongue bleeds fondly, but not the time when the giant sweet tart got stuck in my throat. I barely managed to cough it out, so perhaps that's why they don't have them anymore.

Nothing compares to the original giant sweet tarts back in the day. I remember they came indiviually wrapped in four colors; pink, purple, green and yellow. The pink and purple were the most popular ones. I remember that I always had a hard time deciding which one to buy between the pink and purple ones. I can still taste the powder confection once you were able to bite into it. Oh the memories!

I have been loooking for the orgignal sweet tarts for years, alas, no luck. Just one, I just need one grape one! Arrrrggghhh!!!!

We have been looking for a L-O-N-G time too, why do they take away all the good stuff. Used to walk to the store and get them for what seemed like pennies now. You're right, made your tongue raw and it was sooooo good!

The last time saw them was around 1995. Why won't they bring them back? Chewy ones worse for teeth anyway. Also why is Hershey co false advertising original flavors when they replaced the best one, lemon, with blue raz?????

1960's giant Sweet-Tarts were the greatest even if they were hard on your tongue.

I remember the ones in the single pack being the size of a hockey puck. I would scrape them down with my teeth. No bleeding tongue, but my teeth were never the same. Grape was my favorite. I want them back too! The chewy ones are gross.

I contacted Nestle and they sent the following reply: Dear Ms. Schramm, Thank you for contacting Wonka® SweeTARTS® Candy. As you may know, we produce and market a variety of products.

Scott Consumer Response Representative Ref: N19255511 as to where the Giant Sweet tarts are sold:

I should have checked before posting Nestle's comments. Neither one of the aforementioned companies carry the giant Sweet tarts :(

Ha! Haa! I was talking to someone about these last night, couldn't remember the name until this AM, looked it up on the net and found this site. I loved these, too, when I was little and had the same experience repeatedly with my tongue raw from licking the Sweet Tart...they were so awesome and so addicting! I'm sure my mom never knew that I was licking these things until my tongue bled. I would REALLY love to have another now...

I LOVED those Giant Sweet tarts. I'd get thte double pack, in the 70's and pop it in my mouth till a piece of it got soft then scrape it with my teeth, over and over again till my tongue was raw. Then the next day I'd be begging my momma to go up to the corner drug store again!!!!

Haven't thought about this candy since for decades, but I recall it fondly from the 60s and 70s. I'm surprised it's not made anymore. With all the fat people in our country you'd think it would be a big seller. As for me, I suspect I'd try one or two, satisfy my nostalgia, and probably never have another.

This was the best candy. The chewable ones ARE lame. I wish also they would bring these back. And yes, how pathetic, however, I would stock up on these also. : ) Come on candy makers bring 'em back. pleeeeeeeease.

My sister and I would go down to the store close to our home buy a sack full of penney candy. Alwasys buying a giant sweettart. We licked them until our tongues were raw and blleeding. Where can I find them. I've looked everywhere?

My single greatest wish before I die is to once again have a cherry-flavored giant sweet tart. To lick it until my tongue bled. To put it into my pocket for later, than pull it out and pick off the pocket lint, before licking it some more. To place it next to my bed on the table right next to my glasses so it was there when I woke up in the morning. To lick it and lick it and lick it until there was nothing left to lick, and eat the last remains. Then head back to Wagners corner store in my neighborhood, plunk down a nickel, and start all over. I could make one of those babies last for days. Of all the great candy we had as kids in the 1960's-1970's giant sweet tarts were the best.

Wow! All of you are bringing back such good memories. I also do not like the chewy ones. They should bring these back just like they brought back the original Taco Flavor Doritos in So. Cal last year.

I too remember the Giant sweettarts,and they were my favorite candy..Im 40 years old and I think of them often...I hope one day to see them on the shelf again...I have ate sweettarts since 1972 and will intil I can't No more...good thing you only have to suck on them..lol

I always looked forward to Valentine's and Easter to get them in heart and egg shape. There was also a really cool gum in those shapes back in the day. Can't find that either. The gum kind of broke apart and you could chew it to bring it together again. Loved the Giant (un-chewy) Sweetarts. Great forum!

I have been reading the above posts waiting for one of them to actually say that someone has the REAL sweetarts...but I guess not....they were so much better than anything you can get today...so sad!!!

Used to go the skating rink on Friday nights. First stop after getting skates was teh concession stand for a 3 pack of the hard version of the Giant Sweetarts. Would eat on these things all night. I miss going to the skating rink but near as much as the Giant Sweetarts. They really need to bring them back!

I loved big Sweet Tarts. 16 years ago, I remember they sold heart-shaped Sweet Tarts at Valentine's Day and Easter Egg and Chick shaped ones for Easter. That's the closest I've coming to having the large sized ones in years.

Original giant sweetarts came in two-packs, red and purple, flat on one side...rounded on the other, packed back to back, flat sides together...late sixties-early seventies. Those were the best...lasted for days...lick, scrape with teeth,,sometimes dipped in water. Later in the seventies they came out with three-packs...blue, red and yellow...packed in a row (like the chewy one now)...concave on both sides. not as good as the originals but still, better than nothing. Every time I see the chewy three-packs and see "giant" I feel a fleeting moment of hope...then read the word "chewy" and turn away, spatting in disgust and betrayal.

I too, have a roller rink memory associated with this delicious treat! I WANT MORE!!!

GIANT GRAPE SWEET TARTS ARE THE BEST CANDY EVER! BRING THEM BACK, NESTLE, WONKA WHO EVER MAKES THEM... PLEASE... WE WILL ALL BUY TONS OF EM. THANK YOU

YES! I wish they would make the Giant Sweetarts, not the chewy kind. I have had an urge to "knaw" on one of those giant tablets for years, now!! Maybe we could start a petition? Those would last me for more than a day! I miss em!

I loved the giant cherry Sweetarts! 10 cents at my corner store in the late '60s. I wished for years that they would bring them back but I no longer eat sugar so it's probably just as well.

I have looked and searched on line for these for a long time with a no go. I loved these in the late 60's they were awesome.I am sure if they made them they would be a big seller. Also the old taco doritos were awesome..the new one's they came out with suck in my opinion..not even close to the same..my how things change..please please bring back the giant sweet tarts..

Come on folks! Write/ email wonka! They need to hear our voice so they know this product is in demand and will make them money!!! I could literally eat giant sweetarts everyday of my life! Also, it would be sooo great if they brought back lime flavor for green instead of green apple in every freggin' candy! Why are they always trying to change the flavors?!!
