In the early 2000’s, Just Born began releasing new Mike and Ike flavors each year under the “Featured Flavor” banner. After several years, and many flavors, the company stopped. But Just Born has re-released some of those flavors. Last year, it was Root Beer Float and Cotton Candy. And, this year, it’s these two flavors — Cherry Cola from 2003<\/a> and Buttered Popcorn from 2004<\/a>. (Spotted by Robbie at Dollar Tree.)<\/i><\/p>\n
