DEAR SUN SPOTS: Could you tell me where I can buy large gumdrops? I can find plenty of the small ones but have had no luck in locating the large ones. Thanks for the good and helpful work that you do. — J.G. via online form.

ANSWER: Sun Spots found 1-lb. and 5-lb. boxes of jumbo gum drops at Walmart. You can even order them online. K-mart and Dollar Tree had the mini spice drops. Other stores did not list jumbo gum drops in their inventory. Some stores don’t list candy items online that they have on sale and which you can find in their newspaper circulars such as Rite-Aid.
