Hershey Canada announced that the beloved Cherry Blossom candy will be discontinued in the coming months. The iconic cherry, peanut, and chocolate confectionery has been a Canadian favorite for generations, but will no longer be produced. While supplies last, fans can still find the treat in select stores.
While some Canadians are in the midst of suffering through a polar vortex, one of the most polarizing candies is set to disappear from store shelves across the Great White North.The iconic little yellow boxes, which always appear to be gathering dust on Canadian store shelves, were first produced by the Lowney Company of Canada , which changed hands several times before Hershey took over in the 1980s.Over the years, reports indicate it has been produced in Montreal and Smith Falls, Ont.
“Known for its signature combination of maraschino cherry, roasted peanuts, and chocolate coating, this Canadian confectionery icon has created sweet memories for generations of fans,” the Hershey spokesperson wrote in an email to Global News.
While the news has leaked out over the past few weeks, it has caused some to horde Cherry Blossoms as one man went to great lengths to make sure his mom got her favourite sweet treat. “The Cherry Blossom has been discontinued, so being the good soon time to take action. Her health is not good but hopefully this can be a sweet distraction.”
