Old-Fashioned Wax Bottle Candy – 1/2 Lbs Bulk Pack – 5 Fruity Flavors (Lemon, Blue Raspberry, Orange, Cherry, Green Apple) – Retro Candy Drinks for Parties, Kids, and Nostalgic 90's Buffet (Half Pound)

Just like you remember! And these didn't last the day without being eaten.

Had to have these for the nostalgia factor. They're good.I wish I could say that my experience with them was perfect, but somewhere along the line, a bottle must have broken. Some liquid candy was smeared all over the inside of the bag I received.I just rinsed them off with cold water, patted them dry, and put them in a ziploc bag... No harm done. Just a minor annoyance that was resolved in a few minutes. The leaking bottle wasn't in the bag I received, so I'm assuming it must've happened on the assembly line before they were bagged.If you've had wax bottle candy before, then you pretty much know what you're in for already. The liquid candy tastes good, but the wax is bland. I just spit the wax out after a few good chews.There's artificial dyes in this, of course... They've been in the news recently so I figured I would mention it in case that's a major concern to anyone.It's a good value for the money if you're looking for that nostalgia hit like me. Be prepared for the possibility of a sticky situation though.

Having the wax bottles was certainly nostalgic, but it also reminded me why I rarely ate them as a child. First, it's the warmer months, and the candy was packaged in an envelope. It should have been packaged in a box to minimize the chance of the bottles getting squished and leaking. I had a sticky mess on my hands when I got them, with pretty much all the bottles stuck to each other, and many had leaked their contents. I threw them in the freezer for a little while before trying them.It's fun to bite the top off the bottle and drink the contents. The wax gets stuck to your teeth, and it doesn't taste great, so that's unpleasant. After trying a few, it becomes annoying. Eventually, it becomes tedious to get a sip of liquid out of all the bottles. It's pretty expensive for just a half-pound, too. If you want something fun and a throwback to share with family or friends, this would be a good thing to share. Beyond the nostalgia, just skip it.

I picked up this bulk pack of Old-Fashioned Wax Bottle Candy for a little nostalgic treat, and it totally brought me back to my childhood. The five fruity flavors—lemon, blue raspberry, orange, cherry, and green apple—are bright and fun, and I love how each little wax bottle feels like a mini adventure.It’s such a cool party snack or just a fun way to satisfy a sweet tooth with something a bit different. The candy inside is tasty and the novelty of the wax bottle makes it more enjoyable to eat. Plus, it’s perfect for sharing or just indulging in a bit of retro candy magic. If you grew up loving these, or just want to try a unique candy experience, this pack is a great choice!

Some were busted open, so lost out on some product and the whole bag was sticky.

Decent flavor but had about 5 bottles popped inside bag sticky everywhere

Old-Fashioned Wax Bottle Candy – 1/2 Lbs Bulk Pack – 5 Fruity Flavors (Lemon, Blue Raspberry, Orange, Cherry, Green Apple) – Retro Candy Drinks for Parties, Kids, and Nostalgic 90's Buffet (Half Pound): $9.45 as of 07/23/25I straight up ordered these for the pure nostalgia, and they did not disappoint. Well, ok, they did: just like the originals from my childhood they taste great while the liquid is still in your mouth, then it's just chomping on the boring wax, lol.

This is a 1/2 lb non-resealable bulk bag of wax bottle candy, from R.U.S. Candy Company. It arrived fresh and factory sealed. If you are of a certain age, you will have childhood memories--whether good or bad--of these candies. My childhood memories of them are good, I loved these things. These are just like I remember, sweet and tangy fruit syrup inside wax shaped like a soda bottle. Bite the "cap" off, drink the syrup, and chew the wax for a few minutes. I had no trouble with these whatsoever, no leaks, and nothing melted. I enjoyed getting to have this treat once again, after so many years. At the current price of $9.45 for the 1/2 lb bag though, they are pretty pricey...I would not have been able to get these as a kid!
