    I believe it was under the Jones Soda brand, they were candy tablets that fizzed in your mouth. They had a cola, some red flavor, and a lime flavor.
    They still exist. I love the green apple ones.

    It was around 84' or 86' might have lasted until the early 90's

    Some of us at my job were talking about weird foods (actual products not made up stuff). We used to have an outlet store where unknown products would go to die, among the ones I remember fondly are : Gelooze, which was like jello in a squeezit bottle, and cookies that were like oreos with poprocks in the filling.

    I ate some weird stuff when I was a kid, but my family is FOB Vietnamese so it was actually typical Asian goodies. Ume and ume flavored candies, rock salt plum, red li hing mui, rice paper candy, etc. Or foodwise, balut (fermented chicken egg-fckn nasty!), cows blood, pigs feet, etc.

    Yeah I know, I just don't see them locally anymore. Plus it's not as fun when you're 22 instead of 13 and the friends you did this with are all gone. I'd get some just to teach my little cousin but she gets in trouble enough with what she does to small items, food or not.

    Gum cigarettes that were coated in some sort of powder and then wrapped in paper. You could blow through them, and the powder would come out looking like smoke. Haha. That's actually not funny though, I hope they aren't around anymore. What a bad, bad idea!

    Garfield fruit snacks - but not like the regular gummy fruit snacks, they tasted more like fruit roll-ups, but they were shaped like a regular fruit snack. They were freakin' awesome. I miss them.

    Koala Yummies - I've seen a version of these at Target, but they aren't the same. Disappointment.

    Pepsi Clear

    Pizza rolls from the company that makes Hot Pockets. They were the best pizza rolls I ever had!
    and lemon yogurt go-gurt type things, but they were made for adults and were super delicious.
