What were these sweets called?

They were around around 2000 I'd say. They were hard, thin boiled type sweets in a roll.

There was a candyfloss flavour, and some kind of fizz flavour or something.

Theres literally a bazillion different types of sweets, take a walk down a warehouse sized cash and carry and there is literally 1000's of different types

Was it prepacked or lose and if so X per unit or weight might help

They were in a small pack. They are a similar size to mentos but a bit thinner. I don't think they are sold now a days

Refreshers?

Quite a lot of sweets etc actually fail in the market, the big boys will have the marketing power to generally force a product but the smaller ones can and did fail a lot as we'd always find that kids are fickle and one day they'd strip your shelves bare of a product and the next day it would of lost its cool factor and when it stopped selling the warehouse would stop stocking it and then we'd read it'd been stopped in a trade journal.

So quite often they were made for the market to follow a fad and as such small batches may of been made

Pink - cream soda
Green - pineapple and grapefruit
Yellow - lemonade
Red - cola
