Jujubes were first produced some time before 1920. The jujube is an edible berry that grows in the tropics. But the name of the berry has nothing to do with the make-up of the candy, which is more likely related to one of the basic ingredients of both Jujubes and Jujyfruits, ju-ju gum. Jujyfruits were first made in 1920. Each box contains an assortment of fruit-shaped candy pieces. Both were originally made by the Heide Company which was started by German immigrant, Henry Heide in 1869. Today they are made by the Hershey Company.

Ahhh, Ju Ju Bees. *sigh* They make me hate my sister even now....15 years later. I was so excited to finally get my very own box of candy on family movie night. (I remember that bright green box) I didn't finish them, so I hid the rest under my bed where my sister never (previously)looked. She found them! She ate them! Jesi, you witch!

I bought a box of these a few months ago, they were so hard I nearly broke a tooth... I remember them hard but not tooth shattering. must have been stale.
