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.

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.
