Find your nearest chain restaurant that peaked in the 80s. Walk into the door and to your right or left, you should find them in here.

Can't count the number of times as a kid I was sure I had broken off a tooth on that crap candy.

Chewy Runts were the best but they stopped making but make the teeth cracking ones.

Runts are the last retro candy I would go looking for. Or maybe 2nd to last before rock candy.

I wouldn't mind a pack of Bonkers though.

Charleston Chew easily beats out Runts. Especially frozen

You can get them online. A couple of Christmases ago my kids ordered a whole bag of the banana runts for my gift.

The bananas were thrown in there just for the wow factor even though they were the shittiest Runts by far.

I think you can still get them both at Tractor Supply. Definitely the Charleston Chews.

The Banana Runt hate is shocking to me. In an all time fatty move, I used to pick around those and save them till last.

Fun fact. The banana flavor in runts and other banana-flavored candy is an extract recipe that was made from a species of banana that went extinct.

That’s why the flavor of a banana candy and the normal banana we know aren’t the same.

And we will never get to taste the banana that they use for banana candy
