IIRC, basically a pez or sweet tart like candy shaped into 'dead fish' or soda bottles etc, packaged in a little flip top plastic 'garbage can'.prolly held half the volume of a pez, for a dime ??? or 'Pop rocks' that if eaten with a soda would kill ya...man we lived on the edge...
I recall that now, but only seeing it on the shelf. When I was really young, we had candy cigarettes and my favorite were the gum cigarettes. And then there were candy Bullets for boys and candy Lipsticks for girls (both sweet tart-like). And I vaguely remember getting bottle caps once. It was like we went to a special candy store for that stuff. Well not the candy cigarettes but the bullets and other stuff.
I remember that about pop rocks too. Seems like that was second grade stuff, but my memory gets fuzzy as I get older.
There was this other candy I had one time, it might have been Swedish in origin 'cause we got it from neighbor kids and it was kinda cool, it was a little ball and had vugs all over it, like a pumice stone, and you put the whole thing in your mouth and sucked and the ball turned flat. I think they might have had a slight watermelon flavor.
Now I hardly eat candy. If I'm going to have chocolate, I prefer brownies or a Blizzard treat from DQ. And I don't like gummy candy.
