Help bring back the "Ben Hur" novelty candy !!

Bring them back please:)

Please lets make it known to the company that has the recipe: if they make a batch, it's a guaranteed sale. I promise to personally buy the balance if they don't sell fast enough.

Ben Hurs were my favorite of mine growing up. My grandfather always had them in his pockets. It's one of my favorite memories as a kid! I have seriously been hunting at every old fashioned candy shop from NYC to Long Beach, CA.

Grew up in a small coal mining town, Mt Carmel PA. We always had sim, sims. Would love to taste them again and have the memories that came with it.

Childhood favorite! We would buy them by the case!

Love them would be nice to order them. Ate them all the time. Black tongue love.

Bring back the Ben Hur Sim-SIms... They were the best. I grew up with them and made sure to buy them every trip I made back to PA.

Definitely need to bring these back. I asked Zimmerman's about these years ago and they told me the company that made them went out of business. We definitely need them back, they are yummy! I don't even mind that they turned your mouth, lips and teeth black, LOL

I LOVED these when I was young. I would LOVE for them to be available again. I'd buy tons of them !!!

best candy ever!!

Bring back the anise flavored ben hurs!

So you have the recipe for the candy, but you have no plans to produce it. Why don't you release the recipe to the public domain? You have nothing to lose.

I'm dying for these .

Yes, I am on board - I would love to have Ben Hurs again - delicious

Oh please bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please bring them back! They were ten for a penny and I'd take my dollar lunch money for school and buy a hundred of them everyday on way to school and they'd be gone before I got home! Boy did I get in trouble from my mom when she found out in time!

I loved this candy when I was a kid. My mother, God rest her soul said this was her favorite. I was broken hearted when I heard it was discontinued. I have been searching for years to try and find someone who makes. No luck

I've been searching for these for years. Used to get them in Pittsburgh at the Jenkins Arcade candy store. They were not really anise flavored....but something close. If you ever had fantan gum, they resembled that flavor.

please put this candy on line for a short time each year to allow the people that love it to have it again..... PLEASE !!!!!!!

Please bring back the great Ben Hur candies

Yes, definitely. If it's possible to buy some, or make some, or get some any way at all - let's do it. Having moved from Rocherter NY -what was the name of that candy store on Park Avenue? - to a place in the South where no one has ever heard of Ben Hurs, I'd drive a thousand miles to just buy a package.
