Scandinavian Xenial here. It’s been popular here for as long as I can remember.
I wish. It’s that small overlap between GenX and Millennial. I fall into both/neither category, depending on which definition you go by.
Xennials aren’t quite old enough to remember New Coke, but definitely remember Crystal Clear Pepsi.
Yes, Ubuntu version 16.04 was called Xenial Xerus.
When were you a kid? Sour patch kids and warheads the like have dominated the candy aisle for the last few decades.
Looks like 1993 was the start of the sour candy surge in the US. I did most of my candy eating in the 60s and 70s.
Ah, fair. I blame Saturday morning cartoons and a transition from violence for fun towards self harm. No need to punch each other or slap fight for competition if you can just see who can stand the most warheads at a time.
Remember warheads???
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! 😋
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.
Sour patch kids came out in the 1990s. How old are you?
