What are you supposed to do with that?

Do they get hard when you suck them?

Fruit pips? Not giving up here!

Frosties?

G-MAN2004 · 12 Jan 2011 at 19:44

Nope.

This will bug me forever.

Were they hard, but crunchy, not chewy?

Are you thinking of Runts?

If it wasn't Runts, the only other brand I can think of were Rascals.

vicisthebest · 12 Jan 2011 at 19:49

might be onto one there!

G-MAN2004 · 12 Jan 2011 at 19:52

Not those either.

I don't get how they were fruit shaped, were they stacked in the tube or just lose?

vicisthebest · 12 Jan 2011 at 19:53

Hmm. I may have lost interest...

Loose, like Tic Tacs.

I think I know what your talking about. they were very much like tictacs but fruit shaped and flavoured.
I liked the banana ones best, cant remember what they where called though, sorry.

Weren't those the ones sold from the machines where you had to put a coin in the slot and turn the handle?

Maybe.

You could also get nerds, dweebs, runts from those machines... All very similar.

I think I know what you're on about. Did they look white on the inside when you bit them in half?

Also were they more similar sized to Tic Tacs compared to fruit pastilles?

I can't remember the name of them though.

They so sound like RUNTS but i never remember them being in round tubes they where always in square boxes like Nerds & Dweebs (now called Millions)

Tart n Tiny's??

Wikipedia:

"Tart 'n' Tinys were small, candy-coated fruit-flavored candies distributed by Nestlé USA under the Wonka brand. Tart 'n' Tiny's came in five colors, bluish-purple (grape), yellow (lemon), orange (orange), red (cherry), and green (lime).

The original incarnation of Tart 'n' Tinys candies were small cylinders of compressed dextrose. The candy had a chalky appearance and a consistency, with a firm crunch that would crumble in the mouth, similar to SweeTarts or Smarties. Along with Nerds and Wacky Wafers, Tart 'n' Tinys were top sellers for the Wonka company in the 1980s."

MuttsNutts: Millions are totally different!
