These along with the Lime and Lemon ones were the best, I don’t care anymore

Sparkies for me. Early 90's in North America. They had soda flavoured skittles shaped candies, and just as good.

I really wanted to like these, meh.

I was at goodwill and these are on a rack by the exit. Also yes i have to say this, they are not used candy that were donated, it's NEW candy sold by goodwill. Anyway it was 3 dollars for one bag which is MORE than actual peelers!! You can get 3 for 5 dollars at 5 below and one bag for 1.25 at dollar tree. I thought green grape would be yummy I was curious but it sucks, there's like a dustyness to it. I've been impressed by candies at tj maxx and marshalls so I'm no stranger to buying candy from places you shouldn't, lol!

I was in Bi-Mart in western Oregon today and they had some nostalgic candy at a great price. I haven’t seen the Crows in decades and they were $1.59. The jujyfruits were $1.99, and the watermelon Dots were $1.59. I have never seen the watermelon Dots in the wild before. Has anyone tried them?

If they’re too soft, they haven’t been left open on the counter long enough 😂

Can also be frozen for max chewiness. ❄️

Both my boyfriend and I thought they tasted like peach, like an actual real fruit peach . I found mango undertones. I haven't tasted a sour that can balance a full flavor along with actual sour. This is my new favorite but I Bought out the whole stock so I hope they get more.

I made a pilgrimage today to Lucky Tuppence sweet shop in Scunthorpe, England. If you’re on TikTok, you may be familiar with this store (their account is @ luckytuppence/Sweetshop Steve.

Old school candy/sweets shops like this don’t exist much anymore so if you’re in the UK or are travelling over and are anywhere near, definitely pop in! The owners are the best people and are true gems!

Just look at that selection!! (I spent £25!)

Bought these on a recent trip to the beach. Super minty and delicious! They aren’t taffy, it’s a soft melt in your mouth candy.

They're the closest thing I've found to Oompas from the late 90s

Got me three monsters and some nerds gummy clusters with some warheads candy to. Put one of my monsters in my toxic waste cup

I love The original ones and the sour ones this is my first time seeing this flavor

Edit: these are so much better then the originals

I’ve seen ALOT of talk about these lil guys so I finally decided to take the plunge and grab a bag after work. Im normally not a fan of gummy candies but i do like nerds so this was an acceptation and the nerds keep it crunchy all the way through for me anyways but thank yall for opening my eyes to something I would’ve always kept walking right past.

Ps: This is a weird take but I genuinely love how it feels like I’m eating “Bead”

This has been driving me crazy. I’m trying to remember a candy I used to eat in the early 2000s, and these are the details I remember:
Came in a small cardboard/paper box.
The candies were loose inside (not individually wrapped).
About the size of a dime.
Round and opaque, usually a dark red or purple color.
I think they were grape or cherry flavored (possibly blackcurrant).
No sugar coating on the outside.
They started out hard, but if you sucked on them instead of chewing them, they became soft and chewy—almost exactly like a fruit snack. They didn’t just dissolve like a hard candy.
They stayed the same size while you were eating them.
I vaguely remember they may have had concentric circular ridges on top, but I’m not completely sure, so don’t focus too much on that.
They’re not Bullseyes, Life Savers, Jujubes, Dots, Wine Gums, or Grether’s Pastilles.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? It’s possible they’re discontinued or were more of an old-fashioned/adult candy than something marketed to kids. Any guesses are appreciated!

these are mine! marshmallows too if they count

and I think some of these are discontinued sadly

Just got these today, let me know your thoughts and if I'm too late to the party.
