Oh, I also loved butterscotch Lifesavers. Do they still make them?
I can't even find 5 flavor life savers in grocery stores anymore. They have the white breath mint type life savers, but not the 5 flavor candy anymore. If they exist, I certainly can't find them.
Amazon sells them both so yes they are still made, but I haven't seen them in any grocery store in ages.
I think I vaguely remember those packets.
Weren't there 2 other kinds of packaging for those? One was like the paper straw size and another was in a taller, plastic and thicker straw.
Then there was another similar huge sweet/sour tart but it looked more like a hockey puck. Not really a fan of that one though I may have tried it once or twice. Somewhere between the 2nd to 4th bite in, you probably would need a water hose as it caused dry patches in your mouth or throat.
The pucks were probably SweetTarts, which I think are still made. They were made in more than one size.
I just looked up Pixy Stix and Lik-m-aid. The same company made them, so it’s the same powder.
Malt Balls, especially when they had caramelized inside.. Mom couldn't understand the word malt, and called then Moth balls !
Recall they were purchased, or loose, you could take as little or as much as you wanted. A penny each, this was from the 1950's at the market in the neighborhood.
Those little black licorice babies. 3 for a penny. We used to call then little n______-babies. That's in the 60s in northern Canada. I took a quarter from my mom's change and bought a big bag full. Dummy. Got caught sporting black tongue and lips.
Could only get them at the movies. It has probably been 30+ years since I've had them. Just bought 5 pounds on the Amazon. Hope the OP gets a commission.

I know after this was posted I went out and bought black licorice and Bit O Honey (when I'm off sugar).
