Wendy Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Those giant SweetTarts in the early 70's (or so) were not chewy at all. They were just a regular SweetTart in consistency, only gigantic. A big hunk of purpley compressed sugar. Like a hockey puck! (Purple is best, but I also really like orange ) So now they're chewy like a gummy bear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Not like a gummy bear- rather, some kind of malleable textured sugar composite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kathyp Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I like Grapefruit flavored -- I know that's not a choice, and frankly I don't know anyone else who likes the grapefruit flavored sunkist (or whatever those big chewy dics are called). It's the white one. And usually there are only two or three per bag. I've never tried, nor will I ever try, those Bernie Botts vomit-flavored jelly beans, but I know people who have and say they do taste exactly like vomit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 the candy I miss most of all were the gobstoppers we could buy when I was a kid. only 2 to a pack, and they were huge (at least to a little kid). We'd always get them when we visited my mom's parents out in the country at the little store off the highway. mmm.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
