There is a few web sites selling puff candy and old fashioned sweets. I had the same problem when looking for rainbow crystals. Its like a fruit flavoured sour sherbet I used to eat when a bairn. I took a craving for it. Just like I remember but the heartburn wasnt worth it. Im surprised I made it though my younger years with all my teeth!

I hate it when this topic comes back to the surface! My tummy starts gurgling at the joyous memories some of the old sweetie names bring back to life.

If only the manufacturers read the myriad messageboards around the country (ours isn't the only one who've raised this subject!), maybe they'd extract their digits and re-release those alltime favourites once more.
