Ok, so I used to eat this chewy candy that came in a wrapper like Mentos, but this candy was blackcurrant flavored. I remember buying these candies at a store in Chinatown, so I thought they might be a Chinese candy.

I went to Canada on a trip, and saw that they had some blackcurrant chewy candy, only it came in a big tube instead of a wrapper. It was called Frutips, and I swore that name rung a bell. I got a tube, and....I don't think it was the same thing. The individual pieces looked the same (purple cyclinder thingy with pointy crystals) but it was way too chewy. the candy i had originally was kinda tougher than the average candy.

I googled Frutips images, and I got some pics, but does anyone know what candy I could be talking about? Does it exist? Perhaps the candy used to come in a wrapper and be harder, but then changed packaging/consistency?

    i was thinking that. I mean, it was a Chinese store. we Chinese are infamous for expired foods.

    My god, if it was just because they were stale, it'd be like that episode of Newsradio when Bill is obsessed with the sandwich machine that dispenses rotten sandwiches.

    Actually, if the candy was stale, that's great for you...you can stock up on a huge amount of it, and just wait. The longer you wait, the better it'll be.

    Like fine wine.
