French sweets from the 1980s

Guys I need your help, this is absolutely doing my head in.

As a child on holiday in France, I used to buy sweets to take back home to my friends. The name of them is escaping me and I've looked everywhere, even on French websites, the lot.

They came in a long single string which hung from the shop shelf. You'd tear off the bottom one, then the next and so on, and each sweet was individually wrapped.

They came in different flavours like strawberry, raspberry and cola.

They're not made anymore to the best of my knowledge- my parents live in France so I'm a regular visitor and haven't seen them since I was a kid.

Anyone? :confused:

    I am sure we had these in England. They were quite small.

    Did they have sherbert in them? I remember my Sister getting them from France about 25 years ago.

    No, not the ones I remember, although they did have a slightly fizzy taste. Some of them may have done.
