I am in my late 40s and I remember always having either a sour candy or a fireball (cinnamon jawbreaker) in my pocket or mouth when I was in middle school.
WARHEADS. ATOMIC FIREBALLS.
They're selling extremes. You must be tough to eat this! Not for the faint-hearted!
Not saying, mmmm, they're delicious! 😋
I grew up in NM, we eat green chile on everything. Atomic Fireballs are child’s play in comparison.
Similar age and ya, I remember sour packets being popular in middle school. Can't recall the name, but it was similar to the artificial sugar packets used for coffee, except it had a mixture of sugar and citric acid (the "sour" flavoring) in them.
Was it fundip? I remember it but never really had it that I recall.
I don't think so. I recall Fundip being in large pouches with the pressed sugar sticks for dipping. These packets were a lot smaller and didn't come with the stick.
Any chance the candy was mexican? Cuz that opens up a whole world of possibilities. Limon 7 packets, pico packets, not to mention a whole suite of Lucas powders.
It was the Limon 7 ones. I would have never remembered that. But seeing them now, yup that's them.
Ayyy! Glad we figured out that mystery! Hope you have a good day!
