Cherry Its were the best! Wish I could find them again.

I loved them!--there was also a straw in the bag so you could try to suck them from the bag. Depending on how the sugar stuck together it wouldn't always work. There was also a candy-coated bubble gum gold nuggets from the same company in the canvas bag package. I don't remember who made them and so far these are the one retro candy I haven't been able to find.

I have been looking everywhere for Cherry its. Do they still make them?

I was just on another blog about Gold Rush Gum which is widely available and I'd mentioned how I'd never seen Cherry or Orange ITS anywhere online. What a surprise when I found this site! I know we often remember candy from our childhoods and think how wonderful it would be to have that flavor experience again. Sometimes it's great, but sometimes it's CANDY ICE CREAM CONES which reeeeeeeeeeeally suck. I remembered them as being so good, but boy was I wrong! I don't think I could be that far off on the ITS though, could I?

No, you're right on! We used to get them at Church camp every Summer. I looked forward to that so much. Anyone know where to get them?

BEST CANDIES OF THE SEVENTIES, LET ME KNOW IF THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE ORANGE ITS AND CHERRY ITS I MUST HAVE EATEN THEM AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK IF NOT EVERYDAY. DID NOT REALIZE HOW ADDICTING THEY WERE. WOULD LIKE TO ORDER LARGE SUPPLY IF AVAILABLE. EMAIL ADDRESS TWILLIS4826@YAHOO.COM

Was recounting Orange-ITS to a friend of mine, but couldn't remember the name till I stumbled upon it while doing a search for Beech Nut's Fruit Stripe gum. Man, I LOVED Orange-ITS!

Man, I've fantasized about finding some Cherry-Its for years and years...I'm guessing they're no longer made. Anyone remember the name of the company that produced them?

OMG! CHERRY ITS!!.. I've been looking for them for Years, and couldn't find anybody except my brother who'd even heard of 'em! If it wasn't for that, I'd have thought I was crazy n made the whole thing up, lol. We used to get them every Tuesday at The Nut House candy store, before going to "after-school" activities at Johnson's Boys Club in Los Angeles. Sure wish I could find them again,(I'd buy a case!), but I'm betting with the little straw and the tiny candies inside the bag, the company lawyers likely nix'd them because of the "possible choking hazard" (real or imagined), or "you could lose an eye!".. Anybody who can find 'em Please let us know!!!

ooo i love them Cherry-Its and Orange-ITS still got about 50 of the old bags. sadly without the candy
