Old sweets from 90's - Help me remember?
I am trying to find some sweets I used to eat from about 1998-2002 ish.
[From what I can remember]: They were square, in wrappers, similar to a Fruitella packet. They were red possibly strawberry, and had tiny pieces of red tangy crystal in each one. I am scouring Google but can't find them. I wonder if anyone else knows! Cheers, Tom. |

No I don't think it was popping candy, just tangy pieces of sugar crystal I guess.

Read the post
![]() Multiple sweets in a packet, similar to a Fruitella packet or Starburst packet. It's just really bugging me, and another Google post led me here. |

I remember these but can't place a name on it. Weren't they a bit more chunkier than a fruitlella/chewitt?

![]() Can I ask were they sour? Did they come in just red? They do ring a bell but just can't quite bring it to the forefront of my mind

![]() Not sour in a sense, just a bit tangy, I think they were chunkier than Fruitella. |

I remember them.
I would suggest Maoam Sour as a modern alternative. |
