It sounds like the candy “pond scum” to me. It came in a black package like Pop Rocks one and it had green slimy fonted lettering on it that said “pond scum” and it had a picture of a frog on the front. It was a powder that made your mouth foam.

Chris and Mike,
I know this string is very old, but did you ever find the name of the fizzing candy that doesn’t have a hard shell and came in a silver package? I have also been looking for it. I would describe them as looking like the old candy cigarettes (white, dry looking), only much shorter. And instead of being sweet, they were very sour and fizzed once in your mouth. I’m doubtful that they are still produced, but I would love to at least know there name.

Any help would be great.

Katee, the name of the candy you are looking for is “Raven’s Revenge”, sadly they are no longer making them, but have come up with something similar. http://www.candywarehouse.com/paybackattack.html These are called Payback Attack, I was looking for them this morning myself, and found the above website. A bunch of friends and I are looking to buy a couple cases for a New Year’s Eve party and this will so fit the bill. -grins-

Good luck!

It’s Raven’s Revenge!! Came in a little test tube container, all of them were sour as hell and turned the mouth weird colors. Yeah I remember that stuff! Loved it when i was in elementary school and it’s dropped off the face of the earth.

I’ve been looking for Butterscotch Laddies for years to no avail. The closest I can find in taste and consistewncy are Reisen Storks. NOT Butterscotch, but quite similar otherwise!
