Squish! Squash! A bubbly boom; the Rascals make the fruitiest chews. The flavour never stops – oh no – with the Rascals’ fruity pops!
Yip, it’s official; Rascals are back on the shelves!
They’ve also got a Facebook page, website and twitter account and swear that nothing’s changed; they’re still the exact same sweets you know and love.
There’s only one way to find out so if you’ve spotted the new Rascals out and about please tell me where you found them. Also, if you tasted them, fill us in on whether they’re still the same ‘fruitiest chews’ we grew up with in the 80s. (I was always mad about the lime-flavoured green ones and can almost taste them as I type…
Love, love

Lipgloss is my Life 
they had better taste the same!!!
They’re going on and on about how they ‘promise they taste the same’ so I bloody hope so. If not, it could backfire for them big time ‘cos everyone’s now got great expectations.
OMW!!!! My favourite sweet BACK!!!!
Don’t worry Leigh, I shall uncover the truth!
If you find them before I do, please let me know when I can get then. Walked the mall in Stellies flat but they’re nowhere to be seen just yet.
Yummmmmmmy I can not wait!!!
My favourite from my childhood days..they’ve been gone so long I forgot they even existed. So excited, can’t wait to see them in stores
who is the distributor for Rascals here in SA? I have a fantastic marketing idea…ryan@primall.co.za
No clue. They’re now being made by Mr Sweet, that’s all I know.
I’ll save you all my green ones if I can have your purple ones?
I hate the purple ones; you got a deal!

List of distributers…
Thanks for this!
OMG… Leigh, this taste NOTHING like the original! One bite of the green and you will be disappointed… that fruity lime taste that i used to love – its not there. its just bland.
But maybe not everyone will feel the same way
Nooo! So sad to hear that. Going to find a packet and give them a bash ASAP but you’re not the first person to say that they’re disappointed. ;-(
They don’t taste near the same!! As much as I hated them, there is no watermelon flavour!! They just like m&m’s! I remember them being chewy but softer in the middle than they are! And they were round.
I’m only hearing negative comments now. Several people have said they’re kinda like a poor man’s Skittles. Vok. So far I’ve only found the ‘sour’ ones which were rather nice but obviously I wasn’t comparing them to something else.
They are definitely not the same! VERY disappointing 😦 Not even the same shape! This does not bring back the good childhood memories I have of the purple Rascals Man…I hope the original will come back!
Ja, I’m with you. They’re not the light, fluffy chewy balls they used to be. They’re more ‘dense’ and remind me too much of mini Skittles.
Hey hey, yes that’s true.
