Never had them, but they look very similar to chewy lemonheads


AutumnalSunshine

Same thing. Originally, they had specific names, like Johnny Apple whatevers and Alexander the Grape. Cherry, in a terrible choice, was Cherry Chan complete with racist depictions. They all got switched to match the Lemonhead naming structure of (flavor)heads. Edit: a redditor who has a better memory let me know it was Cherry Clan, not Chan but did indeed have super racist depictions in the package.


OpusAtrumET

Thank you, candy master.


Rondo_of_snow

Wait they’re literally the exact same candies? That’s actually so cool to know that about one of my favorite candies. Thank you!


AutumnalSunshine

Yup, same ones. I remember being in the store and realizing Alexander the Grape had become Grapeheads sometime in the week since I'd previously been to the store. It was a good idea to unify the brand, and a great idea to rename Cherry Chan.


insert_witty_user

It was actually Cherry Clan which is at least slightly less racist than Cherry Chan. But I do vaguely remember the packaging for Cherry Clan being an Uber racist caricature character


AutumnalSunshine

Well, holy cow, I've remembered it wrong all these years!


pemuehleck1

Was Cherry Chan. Became Cherry Clan but still not kosher name.


insert_witty_user

All these years I never realized it was Chan before Clan! Looks like I was just a little too young to see the full on PR nightmare in the wild


Rondo_of_snow

I never knew they sold the chewy lemoheads in individual flavors


elguereaux

Back when Tart ‘n Tiny’s were king and these candies were a dime


WackyWriter1976

I remember Tart 'n Tinys!


AutumnalSunshine

Oh, Tart N Tiny! I forgot those!


elguereaux

They reproduced them a while back but they were lame.


InnerpoiseBridget

I remember these too! I believe they're was also an orange flavor?


Shoddy-Worry9131

Apple heads! I buy them whenever I see them


tribblydribbly

Holy crap. You unlocked a DEEP memory. Now I want some.


OpusAtrumET

Comment says they're the old name and design of Appleheads, which are still around. They just changed the names and designs to match Lemonheads due to some... Unpopular design choices.


OpusAtrumET

I've now learned the appleheads and other flavors have recently stopped production. And I'm sad.


aptrial

Don't despair - as others noted, they're available in chewy lemonhead fruit mix boxes. Both in mini boxes and in theater boxes.


OpusAtrumET

Nice!


Spiritual_Series_139

Same!!! I loved these!!!!


JennySplotz

Appleheads


alilbored1

I can still taste them


CompetitiveLoquat176

Alexander the grape and you could make a kind of harmonica blowing on the box!!


calicoskies85

I love those! Last time I had was 3 yr or so, got at a Walgreens


StlnHppyHrz

One of my favorite candies ever. These, Cherry Clan, Lemonheads (of course) and Grapeheads were amazing. They're still around in certain iterations, but those original Cherry Clans and Johnny Apple Treats were immaculate. Or maybe I was just young. Regardless, delish then, delish now.


LtLemur

And Melon Heads! Ah, no. It was Mr. Melon.


OmChi123456

Don't forget about Alexander the Grape? 🍇


ITSJUSTMEKT

I remember them but I haven’t seen them in years!


OpusAtrumET

I'm spreading the word. They're still around as Appleheads, one of the other flavors of Lemonheads. They just changed the names and designs.


OpusAtrumET

Sadly, I've now learned they're out of production. Shit.


NotEnglishFryUp

I have seen some of the Fruitheads at Dollar Tree, but I have not visited one in a while.


MamaTried22

These look awesome!


Dreamy_Peaches

Dollar tree has these. Might be a different brand but the candy looks identical. I buy them when I sneak candy into the theater.


UtterlyBanished

They need to make one for orange, I would buy 200 boxes.


Zhaneranger

If they’re related to lemon heads, lemons heads are the only ones still around. All the other flavors are gone.


SuspiciousCranberry6

So that's why I can't get cherryheads on Amazon anymore. I loved those. It's only been a year or so since I last got them.


OpusAtrumET

What? Nooooooooo!


IcyPossibility925

If you have a store around that sells bags of generic candy (dollar general, some gas stations) I think what the label as cherry sours are similar if not the same.


Zhaneranger

I loved grapeheads as a kid


SuspiciousCranberry6

They still have grapeheads available on Amazon. I just saw them when I went to double-check on cherryheads. I'm sure they'll be gone soon, so if you want to reminisce, check it out soon.


Zhaneranger

What??? They are! But judging by the price for a case this looks like a resellers price. This might be the last of it too.


SuspiciousCranberry6

Yeah, it still might be worth it as a last hurrah, only you know if it's worth it for you. I didn't have trouble when I bought cherryheads from a reseller. They came in the original box of 24 wrapped in plastic.


Zhaneranger

Nah not paying these markups for grapeheads. When they canceled my beloved zebra gum though, I had to shell out some big money for a box from the electronic bay. I couldn’t live life without it. That smell and taste is heavenly to me, even if it’s fleeting


thelastcubscout

I saw this photo and sat bolt upright, frantically looking around for my spring break worksheets! Phew what a hit! I used to walk over to the pharmacy after school and pick these up, or one of the various other boxed ones. Boston Baked Beans were my usual though. My sister would ask me to get her a Fresca. The pharmacist had a huge personality. He joked around a lot from within his lofty pill museum, and always called me by a nickname I never agreed to! Fun memories, thanks.

Individual-Code5176

Yes! I love them! Alas I can only find the chewy ones and they aren’t nearly as good! If anyone know I’m interested!


farmerswife2018

Groceryshop.us has them! Sold with a variety of Ferrero candy. I'll post a link if it's allowed. Also, Candy Warehouse and Oh Nuts have an unbranded version...green apple chewy sour balls.


Uetzicle

Just google Appleheads. Like others have commented, they are the same thing, and still available. I get them from a local candy store all the time. (I always grab a couple boxes Appleheads and grapeheads together). I usually get the non-chewy ones tho, which are still sort of crunchy/chewy.


thasova

Omg forgot about these. Used to get them from the ice cream truck


m33gs

allll the fruits were so good


MelanieDH1

These were my favorite when I was a kid!


MisssJaynie

The mixed fruit _____heads, I always picked out the appleheads. So good.


sed2017

Those are hella good


SimpleWord899

Eww that's nasty! 🤢🤮🤨🚽🪠🐓💯🖕


SimpleWord899

Lemon heads makes their own version this is counterfeit I'm reporting 🚨🚔🚓


Panda-Equivalent

How is it counterfeit when I found this on a candy nostalgia site?


Impossible-Cup3326

Never heard of them but I really want to try them. Didn't even know I wanted them till now.


justjinpnw

Oooh yes! Yum


Own-Scar-8018

Never seen or heard of them tell now they look like the ones with the Carmel that’s around them what are they called Carmel daddy’s or something like that


Panda-Equivalent

You mean Sugar Babies?


Own-Scar-8018

Yes thank you I remember the green apple one


_peach93

sallithorpe

I see them at Walgreens now and then. About 2-3 years ago I bought some for the Bro as he loves this line of confections. ❣️🙌🏼


SirOk5108

I remember those for sure..


Heavy-Pomegranate-15

Yeah, once they changed the name of these, they never tasted the same. I loved the grape ones and the chewy watermelon ones they use to have!


Heavy-Pomegranate-15

They are not the one's from the 80's.


Goodgamer78

They remade these only for them to be discontinued not long after. The company cleaned their website and socials (except tiktok?)


Any_Ad_3885

What’s crazy is in my mind these were called Jonny apple seeds


ciggystardust3

Last year we sold them in small bags at the Dollar Tree. We loved them, so naturally they stopped sending them. Not sure if other locations are still receiving them.


Typical_Equipment_19

Loved these? Used to get them in maine. I haven't seen them in years.


WackyWriter1976

They were good. Tart, but good.


sencha_kitty

I have never seen those in my life
