It's a hard candy that had something in the middle of it that fizzed. (I guess when it came in contact with saliva)!

Am I the only one that remembers them??:confused:

I agree with you on that one!;)

Here's a really old one ... does anyone remember the taffy strips? Seems like they were about 3 or 4 inches wide by about 12" long. They were pink or yellow and had a white stripe down the middle.

Now....I am really showing my age!:rolleyes: :D
