They asked me to mention a recent award that was given to the folks at Jolly Ranchers. Here’s what they had to say:
"HERSHEY'S JOLLY RANCHER HARD CANDY GRABS PETA2 AWARD
Maker of Mouthwatering Candy Given Top Honor in Annual Libby Awards‘Hershey, Pa. — The Hershey Company's Jolly Rancher Hard Candy haswon the Libby Award for Best Vegan Candy from peta2, the world'slargest youth animal rights organization. The fourth annual LibbyAwards ("Libby" is short for "liberation") honor animal-friendlypeople and products. Visitors to peta2.com helped the group determinethe winners by voting for their favorites in each category.
The Jolly Rancher Candy Company originally made ice cream, chocolate,and hard candy. As hard candy became more popular, the company decidedto focus on developing its "Famous for Flavor" line of vegan hardcandies—which is good news for cows who are abused on factory farms.
"It's reassuring to know that The Hershey Company offers products suchas Jolly Rancher Hard Candy that are as good to animals as they are toyour taste buds," says peta2 Director Dan Shannon. "We at peta2 areproud to recognize this progressive business."
Jolly Rancher Hard Candy won out over Laffy Taffy, Giant Chewy Nerds,and strawberry Twizzlers. (Twizzlers are also made by The HersheyCompany.)"
