I just bought Christmas ones with red, green and white pieces. Very few people in my office had heard of them but they tried them anyway and agreed they weren't that good (spoiled M&M eaters, I guess.) They aren't as good as when I was a kid but it's more of a nostalgia thing for me! I can find bags of Sixlets at the Dollar Tree. I just bought Christmas ones with red, green and white pieces.

I could swear the Sixlets I had as a kid were from Wonka, but I cannot verify that anywhere yet. Who did Hershey buy them from? * I am looking for information about Sixlets history myself.

I had no idea people were also trying to find the reason for the name. I just threw a Navy going away party and wanted blue and red items. I found Sixlets in bags of individual colors at Party City. They were perfect. My aunt saw them and went crazy! (55 years old) then one of my daughters friends saw them and did the same (age 20) Its cool to see that this little candy that doesnt seem to have been very popular, was actually well known and appreciated by so many.

So many people don't know what they are, but everyone asks, Why are they called sixlets? It is so good to know now, I never knew the answer either. I now have my grandkids eating them....

I'm 45 and my kids love them. They cam in packs of 6 when I was a little girl.
