The plastic fruit shaped powder was the best.My favorite was the banana.The ones that come in packages sold at Party City,Dollar Store etc.are not the same.Does anyone know what company made them? Also when will Jolly Rancher bring back the watermelon stix?

I have been trying to find these ever since I first tasted a red bull… that flavor reminds me exactly of this candy! Whenever I tell people about them, they look at me like I am crazy – now I have proof.

I loved these, and have searched the retro candy sites to find some for my little girl! My sister and I would run down to the candy store and buy as many as we could, the banana and grape were my favorite!

I was searching for these for my little girl’s webkinz party. I am making a wishing well and remember these from when I was young. I can’t believe they still sell these. I want to put them in the well for the birthday party game. Thanks

I buy them at the Dollar Tree or Party City and pour out the candy, tie the caps on a flowered lei. Then I fill the fruits with liquor and put them on the lei to go in to Jimmy Buffett concerts or walk around the streets of Key West during our ParrotHead convention ;)

I’m so glad you posted some info about the best powdered candy in the world! I tried several times to remember all the fruits, then got worried I’d made up one just because I wish it had been real. Now I know that my memory was true to life. I’m also glad I’m not the only one who found out about the clogged opening. That was sooo frustrating.

Ha…I love these things…they sell them at the drug store with the candies that come in packages that say 1 for $.59 or 2 for $1.00! mmmm…
