In our never-ending quest to put names to childhood candy memories, we present to you another edition of Name That Candy. This one comes from a reader named Caitlin (and it’s not our staff writer Caitlin). This one only goes back 12 years, so it’s not quite as old as some of our other Name That Candy episodes. Caitlin says:
I was wondering if you could help me find a candy I used to eat when I was younger. I am only 15, so it wasn’t that long ago. I lived in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the year was approximately 1994. The candy came in a shaving cream dispenser. I believe the container was pink with a moose on the front. The candy itself was a gel I think that would come out just like shaving gel. It was my favorite candy, but I only know one other person that had it before and they also lived in Hawaii.
Thank you!
Caitlin
I don’t ever recall seeing shaving cream candy and some Googling turned up nothing. Readers? Anyone know what candy Caitlin is remembering?

It’s not candy foam?

I’m not sure if it’s made by the same company or not, there’s the sour stuff now, but I recall it came in flavors like banana back in the day.
October 11th, 2006 at 6:51 pmNope, I don’t think that is it. I am 95% positive it had a moose on the front and it looked like a regular old shaving cream can.
October 12th, 2006 at 7:36 pmSo it was almost like a “Moose Mousse.” Ha ha ha… *ahem* um, I haven’t figured it out yet. Was it a FULL SIZED shaving cream can? Did it use a propellant (automatic when you pushed the button), or did you have to pump it out (push down repeatedly)?
October 13th, 2006 at 5:16 pmOoh… was it like candy Foam?

No Moose on the front, but I found one called Sour Sudz:

Hmm, I was was like 4 years old and I thought that it looked like propellant button, but I could be mistaken. The Sour Sudz and Candy Foam are sort of similar I guess. Probably some variation.

October 23rd, 2006 at 6:08 pmCould it possibly be like the sweettart squeez?
March 15th, 2008 at 11:36 pmIs it a type of Warheads stuff?
