Jujubes
by Heide
Jujubes quietly fell out of production around 2022–2023 — Ferrara never announced it, but the brand has vanished from its official lineup and shops, and specialty retailers mark it discontinued.
Tiny thimble-shaped gumdrops so dense they outlasted entire movies — a concession-stand fixture dating back to 1920. Ferrara let them slip away quietly around 2023, no statement, while sister candy Jujyfruits soldiers on.
🧾 One more thingThe original flavor lineup was practically a perfume counter — lilac, violet, and rose among them — and violet survived to the very end. A fan petition to revive them has gathered thousands of signatures; Ferrara has never answered.
