I think our Hy-Vee still offers Brach’s, but I could be wrong. There are some products that I think Hy-Vee does better than others, but there are several others that fall flat. I suppose that’s the normal way of store brands. I did end up buying the fireballs, though, and they’re pretty darn good. :-)

Their house brand products are offered alongside brand-names here in my western Iowa town store. What I’ve noticed of late is that my personal favorite Brach’s lemon drops have been replaced with Hy-Vee brand lemon drops.

If I believed in re-incarnation, I would have been a Taste-Tester/Sniffer to the Queen. And I hereby pronounce the Hy-Vee lemon drops *inferior*. Yes, the packaging is cute and retro, but product? Not so much . . .
